Use Cases for Adaptive Computing

Virtualization

Easy management of SAP System growthStart with small servers and relocate to bigger ones with growing requirements.

System parking lotStop idle SAP Systems and wake them up whenever they are needed.

Easy and fast hardware replacementEasy and fast replacement of servers in the AC landscape.

Mass Operations for hardware maintenance weekendShut down and start up all systems with a few clicks in the ACC.

Adapt to growing demand during upgrades and conversionsUse the most powerful server for upgrade or conversion procedures.

Schedule operations tasks Schedule tasks such as start/stop/move SAP systems.

Balance performance peaks Provide the required performance for dedicated systems.

Relocate SAP Systems and instancesAcross physical and virtual servers with AC application virtualization.

Real-time migration across servers without downtime.

SAP systems run on physical computing resources:

Installation sources on local file systems

Coupling of software and hardwareStart, Stop and Mass Operations

HW HW

OS

SAP systems run on physical computing resources with virtual host names:

Installation sources on central storage system

De-coupling of software and OS through use of virtual host names

Flexibility (start, stop, relocate) on application

level

SAP systems run on virtual computing resources:SAP installation within virtual machine template

or de-coupled from the OS (according to adaptive concept).

High flexibility: Virtual machine based (live)

migration

Relocate across physical & virtual servers

Some Ramp-up Customer Quotes

The SAP NetWeaver Adaptive Computing Controller tool has been invaluable in helping us reduce the

administrative effort required to manage our large and complex SAP center of excellence.

Haseen Perwez

SAP Basis Center of Excellence Lead

Tata Consultancy Services

SAP NW ACC had helped us in making our footprint towards our virtualization and cloud strategy,

enabling us towards green initiative in our SAP datacenter. It had helped us in making optimal usage

of our SAP servers and minimizing our operational costs on managing the SAP servers

Radee (Radhakrishnan Malayandi)

Head SAP Solution Studio

Mahindra Satyam

The implementation of SAP ACC 7.2 in combination with other SAP Business Suite products has

increased our efficiency in the administration of customer data. We believe in the potential to

significantly reduce our Total Costs of Ownership, which we will be able to pass on to our customers,

giving us a tangible competitive advantage in the marketplace.
