Workshop Session PAR169 “Say Goodbye to Downtime for Your SAP Services” (Live Workshop)

SAP applications are mission critical. That puts pressure on your team to provide continuous service and access to data. Planned downtime for maintenance and patching is hard enough to manage, but unplanned downtime from data corruption, hardware failure, operational mistakes, or power outages can more seriously affect your profits and the perception customers have of your business. In this workshop, we will work out various options for increasing high availability of your SAP software system.
