Solution Overview

Scenarios

This solution helps you quickly deploy an environment for SAP Business One on Huawei Cloud to facilitate digital transformation for your enterprises and provide a reliable, secure, and high-performance SAP Business One architecture. It is suitable for the following scenarios:

  • Enterprises want to quickly deploy SAP Business One at a low cost.
  • SAP Business One cloud migration

Architecture

This solution uses Huawei Cloud cloud servers and Elastic Volume Service (EVS) to provide a secure, reliable compute, storage, and network environment for SAP Business One to move to the cloud.

The following figure shows the architecture of this solution.

This solution will:

  • Create a VPC and two subnets. The subnets are for server and client, respectively.
  • Create two security groups and configure security group rules to protect Huawei Cloud cloud servers.
  • Create two FlexusX instances, one for the SAP HANA and SAP Business One server, and the other for the SAP Business One client.
  • Create a NAT gateway, configure a destination network address translation (DNAT) rule to allow the external access to ports 22 (60022) and 3389 (63389), and configure a source NAT (SNAT) rule to enable the FlexusX instances to access the Internet.
  • Create seven EVS disks and use scripts to automatically mount the EVS disks to the corresponding directories of the two FlexusX instances.
  • Use Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) to periodically back up data of the FlexusX instances.
  • (Optional) Use Scalable File Service(SFS) Turbo or Object Storage Service(OBS) to back up SAP HANA.

Advantages

  • SAP-certified

    Huawei Cloud has many SAP certifications for servers, virtualization, SAP HANA, SAP ASE, SAP NetWeaver Application Server, SAP Business One, and more.

  • Flexible Scaling

    Compute and storage resources are provisioned on demand and can be flexibly scaled so that you can have a well control over the costs on running the SAP system.

  • Easy Deployment

    Resources required for deploying the SAP Business One environment can be quickly provisioned, reducing the workload and time required for deploying a new environment.

Notes and Constraints

  • Before deploying this solution, ensure that you have created a Huawei ID with access to the target region and enabled Huawei Cloud services.
  • If you select the yearly/monthly billing mode, ensure that your account has sufficient balance. If you do not have sufficient balance, you can go to the Billing Center to manually pay for the order.
  • If you use the OS SUSE Linux for SAP 15 SP3 provided by Huawei Cloud KooGallery, you need to pay for the according image. This image is used by default. You can also upload a SUSE Linux for SAP OS to create a private image, and enter the image ID for according parameters to complete cloud resource creation.
  • Currently, the deployment template does not support the yearly/monthly subscription of SFS Turbo and NAT Gateway. After the deployment is complete, you can manually change the billing mode to yearly/monthly.
