Generally large amounts of database data is produced in the production system of a business application, which often reflected in a deterioration of system performance and an increased use of resources. Costs can also be negatively affected by large data volumes since resources and efforts spent on database administration go up as a result.Therefore, data from closed business processes, meaning data that is no longer needed in everyday business processes, should be moved out of the database, in order to gain a reduction in costs, and improve performance and system availability. Simply deleting this data is often not a valid option, due to 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. This is the task of SAP Data Archiving, which allows you to removed data from the database and store it in a consistent and secure manner. The archived data is stored in a file system and from there can be moved to other, more cost efficient storage media.

Benefits of DATA Archiving

• Reduces the costs of memory, disk and also administration costs.
• cost efficient system upgrades and migration.
• Improved system performance due to shorter response time.
• Reduces the cost of maintenance and run of growing application infrastructure.
