Rolta SmartMigrate™ for SAP HANA®: Comprehensive and automated migration solution for substantial time and cost savings

Rolta SmartMigrate for SAP HANA provides seamless migration of all your custom & SAP databases to SAP HANA with minimal cost and disruption.

In the face of exploding amounts of data that can improve business decisions, CIOs struggle under the limitations of legacy technology. Leaders need to simplify their overall technology landscape – and consolidation and unification of the myriad disparate systems they currently deploy is a must for this simplification. SAP’s HANA database technology uses leading edge innovation like in-memory and columnar storage to increase database performance multi-fold beyond hardware and software optimizations. But migrating to newer database technology requires a deep understanding of both technology and business needs, proven skills and man-power to achieve the desired benefits.

Rolta SmartMigrate for SAP HANA is a comprehensive solution that seamlessly automates your migration to HANA to reduce risk and timelines. As one of SAP’s strategic partners in their Global Migration Factory Program, it’s the first database migration framework that includes a GUI based automation tool to help migrate from Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Teradata and DB2 databases to SAP HANA. Rolta SmartMigrate for SAP HANA includes comprehensive functions like assessment, structured migration of schema, data, SQL objects, application remediation, verification, testing, and performance optimization. Rolta SmartMigrate for SAP HANA supports running migrations either on an interactive or batch mode – thus providing the flexibility of having supervised or unsupervised migrations.

The solution provides complete, end-to-end migration support from the assessment, estimation, scheduling, migration, application remediation, testing, validation, performance benchmarking and optimization, and post go-live support. The fast, time-bound migrations can enable companies to better plan their transition to fully utilizing the capabilities of SAP HANA, thereby resulting in faster and better ROI on their investments. For non-SAP application databases, Rolta SmartMigrate for SAP HANA exclusively uses Rolta’s own migration framework. For SAP application databases (like BW/Rdbms), Rolta uses a combination of our own IP tools (such as BW/Rdbms to SAP HANA testing tool) and SAP’s own migration tools (such as DMO) to provide a best-of-breed solution for customers.
