AvailabilityHub
AvailabilityHub keeps your business-critical SAP systems available around the clock – with intelligent monitoring, automated failover, and clear status and event insights. Instead of complex Linux clusters, you use a lean, low-maintenance solution specifically designed for SAP environments.
High availability for SAP without cluster complexity
Proactive alerts & real-time system insights
Automated, controlled switchover for minimal downtime
Why AvailabilityHub
High availability in SAP landscapes is often expensive, complex and prone to errors – especially when classic Linux clusters are used as the standard.
High complexity
Traditional clustering requires specialized knowledge – operation, updates and troubleshooting are complex.
Rising total cost of ownership (TCO)
More infrastructure, more maintenance, often additional components (e.g., third site) and permanently increased administrative effort.
Risk of failover errors
Incorrect decisions or split-brain scenarios can lead to disruptions and data inconsistencies.
AvailabilityHub as a solution
The Availability Hub replaces traditional cluster setups with a simplified, SAP-focused approach: less complexity, clear decision logic in case of failure, and a cleanly controlled switchover process.
No complex clustering
Setup and operation are optimized for simplicity and reliability.
Reduced administrative effort
Fewer components, less maintenance, fewer potential sources of error.
Intelligent failover automation
Protection against split-brain and comprehensible switching decisions.
Fall-safe Process
If a failure necessitates a takeover, Availability Hub follows a fail-safe process that prioritizes data consistency before switching over:
The primary system is shut down in a controlled manner to prevent conflicts.
HANA database to the secondary location.
Application server instances and virtual IPs switch automatically – client connections remain stable.
It supports virtualized and physical setups (VMware, IBM PowerVM and bare metal) and is hardware independent .
Key Benefits of the
AvailabilityHub
Maximum availability: Reduces unplanned downtime and protects critical business processes.
Quick overview of the incident: Clear status and event logs accelerate diagnosis and resolution.
Lower overall costs: Less cluster operation, less infrastructure overhead, less specialized know-how.
Secure communication: Focus on status information – no business or user data at the center of the transmission.
The intelligent platform for SAP security & operations
Easy installation (remote)
Deployment in just a few steps; remote setup is supported. Delivery as an OVA is possible.
Proactive monitoring & alerts
Real-time monitoring with early warnings before disruptions become outages.
Dashboard & Event Logs
Current status plus historical event logs for quick root cause analysis .
Automatic switchover
Switchover in case of network/system problems with controlled decision logic.
Split-Brain Protection
Mechanisms to avoid competing primary instances and faulty failover decisions.
Notifications & API
Email alerts and a secure REST API for integrations.
24/7 Premium Support
Hotline/email support available for quick assistance in emergencies.
USE CASES
SAP S/4HANA and ECC systems with high availability requirements (24/7 operation)
HANA-based workloads where controlled failover and data consistency are critical
Reduction of cluster complexity and operating costs in existing HA architectures
Standardization of a uniform HA operating model across multiple SAP landscapes
