Customer Requirements & Challenges

 

The JPCPL team reached out to the Redington team to analyze and get an assessment done for their current infrastructure to provide them with our Migration Readiness Assessment of their SAP Application workloads. Redington Limited, being an Advanced Consulting Partner for GCP, has worked on migrating and modernizing SAP applications on GCP.

 

Challenges:

 

• JPCPL’s current on-premise SAG application infrastructure was expiring and facing latency and performance issues.
• Their Dev/Prod environment was on the same server which they wanted to segregate
• They also required professional managed services 24/7 due to manpower issues.

 

Overview & Architecture:

 

• Deployed and migrated the SAP application workloads on GCP with scalable and secure all deployments paired with Redington’s workloads and migration capabilities.
• Along with subscription licenses from GCP to enjoy the support and benefits of BYOL (Bring Your Own License). Choose from multiple deployment options for SAP application workloads.
• Workloads
  • Google Compute Engine
    • Windows Server
    • SLES
    • SLES for SAP
  • VPC
  • Load Balancer
  • Google Cloud Monitoring

 

High Level Architecture:

 

The diagram outlines a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) landing zone architecture centered around a common “Root,” supporting JSPL.COM and Jindalpanther.com domains. JSPL.COM encompasses diverse environments such as Non SAP DR, Security, Production, Non-Production, and a Network Hub Project, interconnected via VPC peering. Jindalpanther.com includes SAP environments segregated into Non-Prod and Prod, each hosted in isolated VPCs and linked through VPC peering. A centralized Network Hub Project facilitates connectivity among on-premises infrastructure, client VPN, and various internal and external VPCs, ensuring organized network management and secure communication across environments and projects.

 

Architecture of Proposed Migration approach

 

This Architecture diagram illustrates the process of transferring and restoring database backups from an on-premises environment to Google Cloud Platform. Backups are created on the on-premises system and the backup files are transferred to GCP using HANA Studio. On GCP, these backup files are then restored to recreate the database in the cloud environment.

 

Migration Methodology

 

Redington followed the R-Lane Migration strategy for migrating the SAP Applications to GCP. For this migration the approach was as follows:

 

Assessment & Deployment

 

Redington followed the R-Lane Migration strategy for migrating the SAP Applications to GCP. For this migration the approach was as follows:

 

Assessment: Finalizing the required details to deploy servers.

 

• Inventory: Conducting a detailed inventory of existing SAP applications and database servers.
• Dependencies: Identifying and documenting all application dependencies.
• Timeline: Defining the migration timeline.
• Resources: Assigning roles and responsibilities for the migration team.
• Risk Management: Identifying potential risks and developing mitigation strategies.
• Validation: Planning for post-migration validation and performance testing.

 

Deployment

 

• For the implementation of infra, the above architecture was followed to deploy the complete infrastructure in a phased manner to prioritize the critical workloads first.
• The VPC and associated services like the Security Group, route tables, site-to-site tunnels from customer locations were set up on GCP.
• For the migration scope of the project, Compute Engine Machine was launched and configured as required prior to initiating the migration.
  • Setting up VPN Tunnels between source and GCP and customer office and GCP.
  • Configuring database migration using GCP Migration Service
• Set up GCP Load Balancer
• Configured monitoring services using Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging.

 

Summary

 

• GCP enabled autoscaling, seamless adjustments to computing resources based on real-time demands, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency for applications and services.
• Cloud monitoring provided comprehensive visibility into resource utilization, allowing users to efficiently track, analyze, and optimize their cloud infrastructure’s performance and resource allocation in real-time within GCP.
• Managed Service Reports delivered comprehensive recommendations for infrastructure optimization and cost savings, meticulously tailored to align with consumption analysis in Google Cloud Platform and overcame manpower issues.

Redington can help customers not only migrate but also modernize their workloads with GCP. Our cloud experts help customers in their transformation journey right from the assessment of their landscape to be migrated to designing and delivering the solution that is unique to their requirements.
