SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management

Is your organization burdened with an exploding growth in the size of its corporate database? Are litigation processes requiring your organization to hold on to entire systems that otherwise are no longer being used by the business? Is maintaining inactive systems your current solution in order to comply with the growing number of regulations on how long business data needs to be kept? With the SAP Netweaver® Information Lifecycle Management component you can streamline your IT infrastructure by decommissioning legacy systems and automating data retention management (including leagal holds).

It has 3 fundamental components:

Data Archiving and Data Management - which focuses on data volume management to ensure performance

Retention Management - which addresses:

  • Managing retention policies throughout the enterprise
  • Applying retention policies on structured SAP data
  • Storage on secure WORM-like devices (via certified WebDAV interface)
  • E-Discovery capabilities (retrieving relevant data)
  • Applying legal hold (protects data for unwanted deletion
  • Deleting data upon expiration of retention time

System Decommissioning - which covers the end-of life system management through the decommissioning of legacy systems (SAP and Non-SAP) and moving data into a central ILM system called the retention warehouse

SAP recognizes that an ILM strategy is only complete when both the application and the storage aspects of information are taken into consideration. That is why an essential part of the retention management functionality is an ILM-aware storage integration that is based on secure storage technology.
