PBS Nearline Analytic Archive (NAA) and PBS Enterprise Content Store (ECS)Â
SAP decommissioning solutions are pivotal for organizations preparing to move from ECC to S/4HANA. Two notable solutions provided by PBS Software are the Nearline Analytic Archive (NAA) and the Enterprise Content Store (ECS). These solutions address the challenges of legacy data storage, retrieval, and compliance, ensuring efficient and effective data management.
PBS Nearline Analytic Archive (NAA): NAA is designed to optimize data management considerations in transitional SAP environments by offering an optimized legacy data storage and retrieval process. PBS Software NAA allows data offloading from planned decommissioned SAP database to a nearline storage system, and eliminates the need to retain legacy SAP system licenses and their associated and expensive IT system resources. NAA supports data storage in highly compressed formats, enabling significant storage savings. Additionally, it maintains accessibility and analysis of archived data, ensuring that business intelligence processes are not disrupted. NAA solution integrates with SAP HANA and provides real-time high-speed data retrieval, enabling comprehensive analytics on the decommissioned data. This ensures that historical data remains actionable, supporting decision-making processes without burdening the active database.
PBS Enterprise Content Store (ECS): ECS is a robust solution for managing and extracting data from legacy SAP systems, particularly in scenarios like audits, system decommissioning, and data carve-outs. For example, ECS facilitates the extraction of tax-relevant data, while maintaining links between data and original documents, even for non-SAP environments. ECS provides full access to extracted data, allowing users to create views, reports, and analyses without needing an active SAP system. This makes ECS ideal for organizations needing to meet legal requirements for data availability during audits or other compliance-related activities.
ECS also includes tools such as the PBS Data Export Interface, PBS CDART, and PBS CONEX Flex, which enhance its capabilities for data extraction and preparation. These tools support flexible, table-based data extractions and archive-enabled DART extraction, ensuring that organizations can efficiently manage and utilize their archived data.
Both PBS Software solutions, NAA and ECS, offer significant advantages in terms of data management efficiency, cost savings, and compliance. By leveraging these tools, organizations can ensure their current and legacy SAP data environments are optimized and their data management practices are aligned with Information Lifecycle Management policies. The integration capabilities of NAA and the comprehensive data extraction tools in ECS make these solutions versatile and essential for modern SAP data management strategies.
