SAP environments are time consuming to deploy, complex

to modify or refresh and costly to manage. Typical deploy-

ments do not fully utilize systems, resulting in significant

server sprawl — with large footprints spanning

50, 100 or more servers. Under-utilization of resources

means wasted space and energy and higher maintenance

and administrative costs. If you’re facing an upgrade

window, this is the time to migrate your SAP land scape

to reduce costs and simplify management.

Deployments, upgrades and platform migrations can have a significant business impact if not thoroughly planned and tested — but setting up new environments for testing and development or operating system upgrades can be time consuming and cause significant project de lays. Migrating to production, the most critical step, must be fail-proof and permit fast and easy rollback in the event that issues occur. The business and cost implications of extended implementation or upgrade cycles may require that you find new ways to accelerate deployment and save on implemen tation costs.

As SAP application owners or IT leaders, meeting your busi ness requirements for availability, application performance and disaster recovery is imperative for your line of business and enterprise applications. Highly resilient and secure environments are table stakes for all mission-critical applications.
