Solution Description
Challenge
Within many SAP environments IT organizations are struggling to successfully address the challenges associated with increasing workloads, data, cost, and managing complexity while being hindered by inflexible infrastructures and siloed environments.
Technology Solution
EMC Solutions for Virtualizing SAP on VMware combine EMC cloud infrastructure with VMware virtualization to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of SAP applications by as much as 30 percent compared to traditional SAP deployments. For example, VCE Vblock Infrastructure Platforms offer preconfigured, integrated solutions to virtualize the SAP application landscape cost-effectively and unlock the value of SAP application functionality.
EMC fully automated storage tiering for virtual pools (FAST VP) technology enables IT to set up automated policies to dynamically monitor and tune storage infrastructure performance as SAP workloads change. EMC Fast VP identifies highly-active SAP data and moves it to high-performing enterprise Flash drives (EFDs) while inactive or less active data is moved to a storage tier more suited to its performance requirements.
EMC Replication Manager and VMware virtual machine (VM) templates enable IT to rapidly deploy and configure both server and storage resources for new SAP application environments in just minutes. EMC storage with VMware provides a consolidated, virtualized server and storage infrastructure for your SAP environments.
Organizations can consolidate production, test, and development servers, enabling higher server and storage utilization and optimized performance and cost savings.
