A data analysis company has two SAP landscapes that consist of sandbox development QA, pre-production and production servers. One landscape is on Windows and the other landscape is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The servers reside in a room m a building that other tenants share.
An SAP solutions architect proposes to migrate the SAP applications to AWS The SAP solutions architect wants to move the production backups to AWS and wants to make the backups highly available to restore >n case of unavailability of an on-premises server.
Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Take a backup of the production servers, Implement an Amazon S3 File Gateway, Create file shares by using the S3 File Gateway, Copy the backup files to the file shares through NFS and SMB, Map backup files directly to Amazon S3 and Configure an S3 Lifecycle policy to send the backup files to S3 Glacier based on the company's data retention policy. This option is cost-effective because it avoids the need for third-party tools, tape drives and storage gateways, and reduces the amount of time and resources needed for the migration process. Additionally, the S3 lifecycle policy allows you to automate the storage and archiving process and ensure that your data is stored in the most cost-effective way.

I’m a bit confused about the differences between S3 Standard-IA and Glacier. I wonder if that impacts the decision for backups in option B.

I think using the AWS Storage Gateway options could be a good choice, but I can't recall if Volume Gateway or File Gateway is better for our needs.

This looks like a classic AWS storage question. I'm confident I can solve this by applying my knowledge of the various AWS storage services and their use cases. I'll need to carefully analyze the requirements and compare the cost and features of each option.

Okay, I think I've got a good strategy here. The key is to leverage AWS storage services to store the backups in a highly available and cost-effective way. I'll need to carefully evaluate the options and consider factors like data retention, access patterns, and pricing.

Option B all the way! I love the idea of using S3 Glacier Deep Archive for long-term storage. It's like putting your backups in a deep, dark cave where no one can find them.
