Adaptive Hardware Infrastructures for SAP

The infrastructure upon which an SAP system is
based must be able to adapt with flexibility
& agility to new business challenges - within
a reasonable budget. This book provides support by
helping you identify your key infrastructure requirements and
arms you with an overview of available products
and analyses their corresponding relations of cost vs.
utility.
You begin with a detailed discussion of sizing
systems & components. Then, benefit immediately from a
step-by-step review of the major critical system components
such as platforms, data storage, HA solutions and,
above all, networks. Each of these descriptions also
considers the relevant cost structures. The last three
chapters give you insights on the SAP Adaptive
Computing Controller and its various uses. You'll learn
how to limit your system landscape costs by
implementing processes like ITSAM and Total Cost of
Ownership, plus more. Highlights include:
