IT system archiving made easy
ARAC© – A simple and cost saving solution for complete retire and archiving of IT Systems.
ARAC© defined
What is ARAC© good for?
Goals of ARAC©
:
A simple archiving solution:
The ARAC©
solution is designed to simplify and speed up system archiving processes to
their maximum.
An archive always available:
ARAC© is
designed to have your complete archived system online in no more than a few
minutes. Therefore the
process of making the system available is uncomplicated.
Meets legal requirements:
ARAC© is
made to fully meet the archiving requirements of German and international law
(GDPdU, …).
Reduces Total Cost of Ownership:
ARAC© helps
to drastically reduce the costs of archiving and shutting down complete IT systems.
Calculated over a 10 year archiving period for an IT system to shut down, practical
implementation comparison show cost saving results of up to 75%.
Applicability to all business
sizes: The ARAC©
solution is applicable to small and medium as well as large business requirements.
The ARAC©
concept:
Process step A -
The cloning
process: The transfer of the
IT system into archive within a virtual environment.
Process step B -
The archiving
process: The archiving of
the complete system on non changeable media. Further it comprises the technical
certification to prove authenticity.
Process step C -
The rebuild
process: The system rebuilds
from archived media and its recertification.
Process step D -
The
reorganization process:
The technical
optimisation of original productive system.
Each process step
contains a number of technical solutions designed by jaDes. Its implementation
will be continuously monitored and certified by KPMG.
Examples for
ARAC© usage
Example 1 -
IT system
shut down: One of the favourable
reasons to implement ARAC© is the cost saving shut down of an old
SAP R/3 system. As the old systems are subject to legal accounting
requirements, the technical realisation and legal compliance of the archived
data should be audited and thereby confirmed.
Example 2 -
Periodical
archiving: Another reason for
implementing ARAC© is the periodically archiving of running IT
systems, for example a productive SAP system. Those systems are subject to
legal accounting requirements.
Example 3 -
IT system
distribution: A further rational
for implementing ARAC© is the fast refreshment (rebuild) of an
existing IT system on different (separated) locations, for example the rebuild
of an existing central SAP system in another country in order to fulfil local
accounting requirements.

The ARAC© solution implementation at S-Y Systems Technologies
Europe GmbH (SYST, a joint-venture of Siemens and Yazaki) – an ARAC© success
story:
jaDes Consulting together with KPMG implemented the ARAC©
solution for a French and a German productive SAP system. Mr. Röthler (Controller SYST): “Implementing the ARAC© solution solved one of our major IT
challenges: What to do with the old SAP systems? What to consider regarding the
France and German laws? The ARAC© solution made it possible to
archive the two complete SAP systems in only 6 weeks. It allowed us to
concentrate on the new SAP solution instead of spending time and money to ‘old’
IT matters with no value add.”
