Vnomic Automates Delivery, Governance, and Auditability of SAP HANA Landscapes with Cisco ACI and Cisco Tetration Analytics Application Segmentation

Solution Overview

SAP, Cisco, and Vnomic are collaborating to dramatically accelerate and simplify the deployment and operation of large-scale SAP applications by using Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™), Cisco Tetration Analytics™, and the Vnomic Declarative Application Delivery and Governance Platform.

ChallengesWith the growing sophistication and deployment complexity of next-generation application landscapes, traditional approaches to application deployment and security no longer meet business expectations. In a competitive world, customers

must deploy services quickly and then rapidly and safely add or remove resources from running applications to meet the demands of users, based on service-level requirements, time scheduling, and cost factors, while adhering to security and governance requirements.

SAP Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP HANA landscapes power the largest enterprises in the world. They possess all the attributes needed for complex, critical, dynamic applications that serve distributed users, with global availability 24 hours a day every day, highly variable performance and scale demands, virtual and physical resource requirements, various types of storage, and changing security and governance requirements (Figure 1).

Figure 2 The Cisco Tetration Analytics platform provides visibility into the entire data center in real time

Organizations can need weeks or months to provision, deploy, and configure these landscapes, and doing so involves manual layout of new infrastructure, connectivity, and configuration of Layer 4 through 7 services, with the potential for errors further slowing deployment cycles. The result is rigid IT environments, limiting customers’ agility in responding to variable business demands.

The solutionVnomic MetaDirector automates the end-to-end delivery, governance, and auditability of

programmable infrastructure and the Cisco Tetration Analytics platform, allowing companies to digitize their businesses faster while helping ensure the security, governance, and auditability of the overall solution.

Cisco Tetration Analytics dramatically simplifies customers’ zero-trust implementations. Moreover, the platform provides visibility into everything in the data center in real time and uses behavior-based application insight and machine learning to build dynamic policy models and automate enforcement (Figure 2).

ConclusionBy using the Vnomic MetaDirector, Cisco ACI, and Cisco Tetration Analytics application segmentation solution, organizations can easily deploy complex business application landscapes with confidence that their deployments meet all their security, governance, and compliance requirements. And they can also be confident that their landscape deployments are auditable, secure, and auditable across the entire system.

The combination of Vnomic MetaDirector, Cisco ACI, and Cisco Tetration Analytics application segmentation provides exceptional levels of automation and security for enterprises around the world.
