Unofficial SAP on Azure podcast Holger Bruchelt

In episode 201 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Microsoft Copilot and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition.


We are now at over 200 episodes and I actually saw that we also passed 7000 subscribers -- thank you everyone for listening in and subscribing! To celebrate this achievement I am really happy to have Christian Hoffmann from SAP joining us today. For the last few years we have worked together on the Teams integration SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. If you attended SAP Sapphire or saw some of the videos online you might have seen the next evolution of this -- the Microsoft Copilot integration.
Christian will explain this a little more and also show us how the integration looks like.

In episode 200 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the partnership between SAP and Microsoft. We are at episode 200! 200 episodes ago, Robert, Goran and I started to record this weekly call. We wanted to cover the space between SAP and Microsoft and I think we have done a fairly good job. We had lots of guests from Microsoft, but also SAP and other partners here on the show that talked about the combination of SAP and Microsoft. Today I am really happy to have Silvio Bessa with us, the global Lead of our SAP Business Unit at Microsoft.

In episode 199 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Azure NetApp Files. A few weeks ago we already talked about the importance of high IO and throughput when it comes to storage. From an Azure side we have some really powerful storage solutions. Among them is Azure NetApp Files, a first party integration of NetApp Files in Azure. This service has been around for over 5 years and we already talked about it in the past. Now I am happy to have Geert back with us to share with us the latest news on Azure NetApp File.Find all the links mentioned here: https://www.saponazurepodcast.de/episode199Reach out to us for any feedback / questions:* Robert Boban: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rboban/* Goran Condric: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gorancondric/* Holger Bruchelt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/holger-bruchelt/ #Microsoft #SAP #Azure #SAPonAzure #ANF

In episode 198 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Zero Trust Security with SAP.
When was the last time you thought about security? Especially in the context of your SAP system? When preparing for this podcast I did a little research on SAP and security -- and it is actually pretty horrifying how many incidents are even documented in the public. I guess there are even more incidents happening every day across the world. So securing your SAP system becomes more and more important. To talk a little more about Zero Trust Security Principles for SAP I am really glad to have a number of experts with us today: Joe Speziale, Daniel Mauser and the one and only Evren Buyruk.

In episode 197 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about how to improve storage throughput.
In our last episode we quickly mentioned how features and capabilities are constantly added to services in the cloud. We talked about this in the context of the Azure Monitor for SAP solutions, but obviously these enhancements and optimizations are also happening on a lower level.


Especially in SAP Hana installations, I/O throughput is super critical. In the past SCSI was used to connect your disks to the VM. Now we can leverage NVMe (non-volatile memory express) using Azure Boost. To tell us more about this and actually show how to convert from SCSI to NVMe, I am glad to have Philipp Leitenbauer with us today.

In episode 196 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about two topics. Since we just had Sapphire with some amazing announcements, we first want to do a quick recap from a Microsoft points of view.
Then we also want to take another look at Azure Monitor for SAP Solutions. Although there are no major updates, I always find it fascinating how continues the improvements are in the cloud. That is really one of the main benefits of cloud vs. on-perm that you constantly get new features — but you need to know about them. So that‘s why I am happy to have Sujay and Akarsh joining us again to give us an update on the latest.
