Episode #170
Introduction
In episode 170 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about new capacity pools with Azure NetApp Files. Then we continue a discussion that we stared over a year ago – the DMO for SAP. At that time we had a very cool session with Mathias Klein from SAP and Taka Hoshino from Microsoft on the new Database Migration Option for Azure. At that time we presented a whitepaper, that outlined the steps to simplify the conversion and make DMO to Azure happen. We also briefly talked about potential next steps and how all the prerequisite checks could be included in an automated process. Today we have Mathias back on our channel to provide us with the latest news on DMO to Azure.
