Making the Case for the Private SAP® Cloud

by Fluid Ops (June 22, 2010)

There is significant hesitancy to leverage the latest virtualization and cloud management and automation technologies for enterprise application environments. Yet massive improvements in time and effort in the provisioning as well as administrating and monitoring of large multi-tenant SAP® environments are available out-of-the-box today. Entire enterprise application landscapes, often consisting of up to 10-15 systems such as ERP, CRM, SCM, portal and BI, can be provisioned to the end-user as a “Landscape-as-a-Service” (Laas) in a matter of minutes, alleviating SLA pressures and future-proofing enterprise app IT.

Read this white paper to learn of the core design concepts that empower private SAP clouds:

• use of the complete IT stack especially in view of storage-assisted cloning capabilities, to handle mission-critical enterprise app requirements
• one-click provisioning of complete multi-tier multi-system landscapes above and beyond single system VMs, with no post-configuration effort needed
• heavy use of standardized golden templates of e.g. ready-to-run SAP systems
• fine grained metering and billing capabilities in a self-service portal as an out of the box LaaS solution
