SAP Virtualization
The past was marked by business units demanding faster and richer access to SAP information, so IT departments accommodated by amassing a large SAP infrastructure. Now facing strong pressure to cut costs, IT is turning to SAP virtualization to decrease server count.

Virtualization benefits organizations through lower total cost of SAP operations. With less to support, maintain, administer, and license, IT spending is shifted from maintenance and management back to its original intention of supporting business growth.
IT departments gain through streamlined physical server maintenance, simplified backup and recovery, and minimized downtime due to failures or interruptions. Virtualization also enables faster response to business demands for solution deployment.
Virtualization has been utilized by customers group:basis supports since the late 1990s. It is not just accepted by our customers; since December 2007 SAP has supported its software running in virtualized environments for Production systems, eliminating much of the long-held concern by IT departments subscribing to the physical server paradigm.

The X4640 that Sun tested was equipped with Solaris 10 and the Oracle 10g database, and it was able to support 10,000 users on the two-tier SAP sales and distribution (SD) benchmark test. The two-tier version of the test puts the application and the database that the applications pound on inside a single box, rather than breaking app and database servers into separate machines as three-tier setups do..." |
