  • TCP Talks: SAP Cloud Migrations with Protera CTO, Patrick Osterhaus

    TCP Talks: SAP Cloud Migrations with Protera CTO, Patrick Osterhaus
    Aug 31 2020
    Note: This interview is part of a paid sponsorship between Protera and The Cloud Pod. In this TCP Talks episode, Justin Brodley and Jonathan Baker talk with Patrick Osterhaus, CTO and Founder of Protera Technologies, a preeminent provider for SAP and cloud managed services. Patrick discusses how the cloud, COVID-19, and work-from-home are influencing SAP and legacy enterprise software packages today, and Protera’s goal to provide the very best SAP services available on the cloud. Covering issues around migration to SAP, Patrick takes the opportunity to reflect on Protera’s history, while also addressing corporate IT integration. “We call this the transformation journey-site assessment, specific to each client’s needs, looking beyond SAP to the SAP systems, we use a tool we call [Protera] FlexBridgeSM,” notes Patrick. Featured Guest Name: Patrick Osterhaus What he does: Patrick is CTO and Founder of Protera Technologies. Key quote: “The complexity of moving to public cloud is getting those non-cloud native applications into the cloud, and then looking at the transformation of those applications once they’re in the cloud.” Where to find him: LinkedIn | Twitter Key Takeaways The best way to prepare for cloud migration is what Patrick calls “the journey,” which involves a site assessment of the customer environment and understanding how everything on-premise, or in a hybrid environment, is working together. COVID-19 has accelerated migration to the cloud and has forced companies to plan their disaster recovery systems. Patrick says businesses aren’t just thinking about their earpiece systems — the thinking extends to ancillary systems like CRMs and web access systems — “all these systems to be connected and have it fully available in the cloud as a backup.” He adds, “We’ve seen a natural interest in what is good practice,” which is to have a protection plan for critical SAP applications. Working with many compliance-heavy industries, such as financial or military and defense clients, Protera stresses has learned the importance of not only application security, but also the physical security necessary around data centers. He says the discussing the real-world protection of data centers — “who owns the data, how it’s governed, how it’s protected” — is important to raise with the client. Resources Here’s what was mentioned in the episode SAP: Systems in Application Products and Data Processing “What is DevOps?“: An AWS blog post explaining the DevOps model Microsoft Azure: Cloud Computing Services Amazon Redshift: Cloud Computing Services Google Cloud Platform: Cloud Computing Services DR system: Multi-cloud disaster recovery system “What is SAP HANA?”: A Protera blog post SAP GUI: Used to initiate a session in a SAP server “VDI Solutions“: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure AWS: Amazon Web Services AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK): An open-source development framework to model and provision cloud application resources FlexBridgeSM: Protera FlexBridgeSM migration software “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC): A Microsoft blog post describing the IaC managing model “What is Hybrid Cloud?”: A Microsoft blog post defining what a hybrid cloud is “What is the Public Cloud?“: A Microsoft blog post defining the terms of the public cloud Top quotes in this episode [6:14] “And the big challenge with SAP, in my opinion, is they have such a tremendous customer base that is already running in their own data centers … and the challenges to make that transition. And being that they’re not just the number of customers and the number of SAP systems each of those customers has, but just the tremendous volumes of data. And the dependency that their whole business has on SAP as the lifeblood of the organization, not just as the data itself, which is obviously very important.” [13:29] “I joke, [making the cloud decision is like] the Coke versus Pepsi. It’s the two challengers and people certainly have biases … people have very strong opinions on each side, and we try to satisfy [customers] as best we can. So we keep our certifications up on the providers, try to keep our team up [to date] with all the new developments, which in and of itself is always a challenge.” [16:38:] “You know, [competition between cloud providers] reminds me of the 90’s when we had the browser wars in that it’s every single week, there’s a new feature. And, it’s a very exciting time.”

  • Episode 92: The Cloud Pod is first in, first out

    Episode 92: The Cloud Pod is first in, first out
    Oct 30 2020
    On The Cloud Pod this week, the team discusses the conspiracy theory surrounding media coverage of daylight savings and continues counting down to re:Invent. A big thanks to this week’s sponsors: Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Cloud Academy, which provides an intuitive and scalable training platform to meet teams wherever they are along the cloud maturity curve. Use the code THECLOUDPOD for 50% off its training platform. This week’s highlights Amazon sells a whole bunch of stuff on its website. Google is nosy and wants people to know what files you’ve been looking at. Azure wants people to think more with its new knowledge center. Amazon Web Services: Getting Excited for re:Invent Jeff Barr shares how AWS helped to make Prime Day a reality for its customers. Congratulations to the Amazon Ops and Dev teams for this amazing feat. AWS Global Accelerator announces the ability to override destination ports used to route traffic to an application endpoint. Pretty neat! AWS is launching AWS Distro for Open Telemetry in preview. We’re excited to see what this builds out to become. AWS launches fully managed publishing/subscribing messaging service enabling message delivery to a large number of subscribers. This is great and we already have use cases for this. Amazon introduces the AWS Load Balancer Controller to simplify operations and save costs — a huge win for anyone using EKS today. AWS CloudFormation now supports increased limits on five service quotas. Sounds good unless you’re trying to make smaller CloudFormation templates. Google Cloud Platform: A Bit Confused GCP is introducing new Scale-in controls for Compute Engine, to prevent the autoscaler from reducing a managed instance group size too far. We’re a bit confused by the term “Scale-in.” GCP improves security and governance in PostgreSQL with Cloud SQL. Great for companies that are highly audited. Google updates Firebase with new emulator and data analysis tools. Really great stuff! Azure: Busy Building Services It Promised For JEDI Microsoft announces multiple new features for Azure VPN Gateway in public preview. Some of these are amazing! Azure introduces the Knowledge center to simplify access to pre-loaded sample data. That electrical smell is the Team’s synapses firing on this one. Azure has announced that it will establish its first cloud datacenter region in Taiwan. It feels a bit like they’re trying to sell this as a good idea. TCP Lightning Round Jonathan was on his game and took this week’s point, leaving scores at Justin (15 points), Jonathan (nine points) and Ryan (five points).
