A client of mine has 2 SAP local servers and he would like to recover his data on the cloud using GCP.
The 2 SAP servers are working with a shared MS SQL database with clustering methodology, one server is active while the other is passive. His reason of recovering the data is that whenever his SAP servers are down he could still access his database with the same functionality he has locally.
I kept on trying to search for a solution to do so using the Google App Engine but as far as I understood there will be no full functionality.
What I thought of is to use the CloudSQL database as a mirror to his SQL database and to get the GAE as a passive server that only works when the systems are down. I found this link which was useful on connecting SAP with GAE but still not with much help on running GAE as an active server.
Any ideas on any other work around?
Thank you.

My client has his data stored on SQL Server hosted on an on-premise network. I established a VPN connection from Google to the network, but I don't know how to follow from here. My final goal is to process his data using cloud functions. Any suggestions?
PS: I read that Shared VPC can be used to accomplish this, but I don't have a proper organization for this purpose :/
Edit: I followed the suggestions on the comments but now I'm missing to extract the data since pyodbc is not pre-installed on Cloud Functions. Any ideas oh how to query an on-prem database on SQL Server through Cloud Functions?
I am using GoDaddy VPS server for over an year, now i am planning to migrate to AWS, go i have got GoDaddy VPS server with validity until next 5 years. i have a website hosted in AWS also, its very very fast compared to the site hosted in GoDaddy. I think the problem is the big database. So i thought of creating a AWS RDS MySQL database and use that particular database to the site hosted in GoDaddy. But i don't have any idea of how to establish the connection. If it is possible kindly anyone give me some tips. Thanks
Yes. You can connect to an Amazon RDS instance from outside the AWS network (note: when you create the database you can specify whether it is publicly accessible or accessible from the VPC only)
Of course, the bandwidth and latency will be worse compared to an EC2 located in the same region as the RDS server.
So I don't think this will solve your performance problems. It does offload the database management (backup/restore/monitoring) to AWS which is very useful for a production system.
I have built a CRM for my company using MS Access 2016, and we are looking to be able to use it remotely. I have currently split the database and have the back-end residing on our company server/shared drive. As I see it, we could put the back-end on SQL Server, but that would mean finding a way to host it. We recently moved to Google Apps for Work and I have been looking at the Google Cloud platform (e.g. Cloud SQL), but I don't know if it will integrate nicely with MSSQL. There's also Sharepoint, but we are are having difficulty even finding it to buy on Microsoft.com, and are trying to move away from Microsoft Office products anyway.
What would be the most stable, cost-effective, and fastest way to allow our employees to use our Access DB remotely?
My suggestion would be to migrate the database into SQL Server as step one. Then step two host the database in Microsoft Azure using the SQL DB service.
You can find more details and pricing here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/
Be sure you check the single database pricing. Unless you want the elastic scaling and performance.
I'm not sure about the cost part, but the fastest and most stable (IMHO) would be to use Remote Desktop. Either to a user's workstation or to a server set up for it.
We have migrated our backend to SQL Server from MS Access for obvious reasons. Our users access the front end off a VPS Hosted in the cloud. Connection string ODBC. It is robust and fast.
we are currently using a VPS. Looks cheaper and easy to access ;

we're close to migrating our legacy MS Access app to SQL Server for our internal warehouse management system. Our customers are often asking us for access to the data for e-commerce integration and general reporting. Once the migration is complete I would like to provide open access to the data via web services and odata. However I don't want to host these services as we are on a slow ADSL connection which won't cope with the traffic.
My question is, can I replicate (one-way) to a remote DB hosted by shared-hosting companies such as Hostgator? I see they have shared windows hosting with unlimited MS SQL DBs. Are there any special requirements on the hosted-side? For instance do I need to explicitly set-up replication on hosting db or is it managed on the client-side?
If this is possible then I might be able to run all our web services and reporting apps on the host's servers, and only the replicated data need travel over WAN. What sort of control is there over replication? Such as bandwidth throttling, replication periods etc? For instance when & how often does replication take place?
I'm new to SQL Server in general and some of the topics are a little overwhelming.
Thanks for your help.
You could try setting up transactional replication with a push subscription with the distributor on your side. The relevant bit is how the distribution agent connects to the subscriber. distrib.exe supports both trusted and SQL authentication, so you should be good to go either way.
I´m running 2 servers on Rackspace. I have set up a load balancer that balances the traffic between these two servers.
Each of these servers runs a Glassfish v3 server with a Java EE application on it, that offers a web interface to write some data into server database. The problem is that I need to have the same data on each database (server 1 database and server 2 database).
A resolution to this problem is mirroring of databases.
I would like to ask if there is some automated system to mirror these databases inside the rackspace?
Furthermore I ve found Xendros database cloud that is able to work with Rackspace Cloud. Is it possible to mirror these databases inside the Xeround?
Or are there any better solutions ?
Thanks for answers :)
With Xeround you do not need to mirror your database, you create a single database instance and direct your application servers to work with this instance.
