SAP HANA High Availability and Disaster Recovery Series

My purpose is to deep-dive into the entire SAP HANA high availability (HA), fault recovery (FR) and disaster recovery (DR) concept including the high-level overview of ALL available HA, FR and DR options, different configuration and setup methods and key benefits and trade-offs of each technology. I aim to provide deeper, clear and broader information in SAP HANA HA and DR technologies unlike the majority of confusing and contradictory information available on the internet. At the end of the day, you will be able to compare all available DR, FR and HA options, learn how to ensure your system’s operational continuity and decide the most suitable approach for your own data center readiness scenario to meet the business requirements.
