Data Archiving

When SAP system is used in production for a period of time, generally a large amount of data is produced which often times is result in deterioration of system performance and an increased demand on hardware resources. Consequently operating costs increase due to large data volumes, since resources and efforts spent on database administration go up.
Therefore, data that is no longer needed in day-to-day operations should be moved out of the production database, in order to improve the performance and availability of the system.

Merely deleting this data is not a valid option, due to referential integrity and legal data retention requirements. This means that the data has to be removed from the database and stored in such a way that it is always accessible for reading if necessary. SAP Data Archiving, which allows you to removed data from the database and store it in a consistent and secure manner.

SAYSOFT consultants have experience and helped several customers in archiving their data. The archived data is stored in a file system and from there can be moved to other, more cost efficient storage media.
