Azure NetApp Files Elastic ZRS service level - File Storage High Availability Made Easy
This article introduces Azure NetApp Files Elastic zone-redundant storage service level (Azure NetApp Files Elastic ZRS), a high-availability solution that synchronously replicates data across multiple Azure Availability Zones within a region. Leveraging Azure’s ZRS architecture to ensure zero data loss and minimal downtime by automatically redirecting traffic during outages while maintaining a single volume interface. Features include support for NFS/SMB protocols, snapshots, clones, encryption, and backups, providing seamless multi-AZ redundancy and operational simplicity. Real-world use cases include supporting mission-critical applications in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government, as well as SAP shared files, general file shares, financial services platforms, Kubernetes workloads, and compliance applications.
Agentic Integration with SAP, ServiceNow, and Salesforce
Copilot/Copilot Studio Integration with SAP (No Code) By integrating SAP Cloud Identity Services with Microsoft Entra ID, organizations can establish secure, federated identity management across platforms. This configuration enables Microsoft Copilot and Teams to seamlessly connect with SAP’s Joule digital assistant, supporting natural language interactions and automating business processes efficiently. Key Resources as given in SAP docs (Image courtesy SAP): Configuring SAP Cloud Identity Services and Microsoft Entra ID for Joule Enable Microsoft Copilot and Teams to Pass Requests to Joule Copilot Studio Integration with ServiceNow and Salesforce (No Code) Integration with ServiceNow and Salesforce, has two main approaches: Copilot Agents using Copilot Studio: Custom agents can be built in Copilot Studio to interact directly with Salesforce CRM data or ServiceNow knowledge bases and helpdesk tickets. This enables organizations to automate sales and support processes using conversational AI. Create a custom sales agent using your Salesforce CRM data (YouTube) ServiceNow Connect Knowledge Base + Helpdesk Tickets (YouTube) 3rd Party Agents using Copilot for Service Agent: Microsoft Copilot can be embedded within Salesforce and ServiceNow interfaces, providing users with contextual assistance and workflow automation directly inside these platforms. Set up the embedded experience in Salesforce Set up the embedded experience in ServiceNow MCP or Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Interoperability (Pro Code) - (Image courtesy SAP) If you choose a pro-code approach, you can either implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in a client/server setup for SAP, ServiceNow, and Salesforce, or leverage existing agents for these third-party services using Agent-to-Agent (A2A) integration. Depending on your requirements, you may use either method individually or combine them. The recently released Azure Agent Framework offers practical examples for both MCP and A2A implementations. Below is the detailed SAP reference architecture, illustrating how A2A solutions can be layered on top of SAP systems to enable modular, scalable automation and data exchange. Agent2Agent Interoperability | SAP Architecture Center Logic Apps as Integration Actions Logic Apps is the key component of Azure Integration platform. Just like so many other connectors it has connectors for all this three platforms (SAP, ServiceNow, Salesforce). Logic Apps can be invoked from custom Agent (built in action in Foundry) or Copilot Agent. Same can be said for Power Platform/Automate as well. Conclusion This article provides a comprehensive overview of how Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Foundry by A2A/MCP, and Azure Logic Apps can be combined to deliver robust, agentic integrations with SAP, ServiceNow, and Salesforce. The narrative highlights the importance of secure identity federation, modular agent orchestration, and low-code/pro-code automation in building next-generation enterprise solutions.How can migrate SAP EEC to azure?
