HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP) expands
HP Serviceguard's powerful failover capabilities to SAP environments. Backed by world-class support from both HP and SAP, Serviceguard Extension for SAP is fully tested, approved and endorsed by SAP to minimise implementation risks. Customers can also integrate SAP with HP Serviceguard Solutions for disaster tolerance.
HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP extends the powerful failover capabilities of Serviceguard to SAP environments. It continuously monitors the health of each SAP node and automatically responds to failures or threshold violations. SGeSAP protects the SAP central instance and database – business-critical pieces in an SAP environment – within a Serviceguard cluster. As an added bonus, it can decrease planned downtime when performing SAP upgrades.
Building on the capabilities of HP Serviceguard, HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP allows a group of HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers to be configured as a highly available cluster that supports SAP environments on both HP-UX PA-RISC and Intel® Itanium® Processor Family platforms. These two products are tightly integrated to exploit the best features of HP enterprise clusters and SAP applications: high availability, data integrity, flexibility, scalability, and reduced database administration costs.
