Core VMware Use Cases For SAP Solutions
1. Consolidation
2. Utilization & Serviceability: VMotion
3. SAP Upgrades: Snapshots
4. Fast Deployment of SAP Systemswith VMware Templates
5. Disaster Recovery
6. High-Availability & Fault Tolerance
Core SAP Use Case 1: Consolidation
Consolidation
�Lower Cost of Ownership, lower management overhead
�~5:1 consolidation ratio for SAP customers (numbers vary greatly)
�Fast kick-start of new projects –start before new hardware has arrived!
“saplicense –get” returns SAME hardware key! (License specific to the virtual machine, NOT to ESX Server
SAP licenses per SAP user irrespective of underlying hardware. Hence, there are no license limitations
Core Use Case 2: Increasing Utilization & Serviceability

SAP Hosting: Using Virtualization to Serve a Huge User Base
The ChallengeSAP Hosting manages SAP-on-SAP infrastructure globally and hosts more than 330 additional customers around the Globe in 5 main data centers. Need to manage 6.000+ SAP systems cost-effectively and provide excellent service levels.
The SolutionVMware virtualization results in lowers costs, enables
development and and automation of user services, provides better hardware and software lifecycle management, and improves production and capacity planning across a more unified infrastructure.
“VMware Infrastructure has many benefits for a hosted environment such as ours that offers software as a service. We’ve been able to automate internal business processes and increase service levels to internal customers. In addition, we have reduced costs with consolidation and automation of system deployment, as well greatly reduced the required hardware for internal training and test systems.. ”
Markus WinterHead of Strategic Projects SAP Hosting
• 3.500+ virtual machines/~300 ESX Server hosts/~200 TB storage on Linux and Windows
• Flexible resource assignments• Great fit for offshore strategy• Flexible internal server provisioning• Increase customer services with less effort
SAP ERP UpgradeThe ChallengeEFI employs several SAP modules to build integrated business
solutions and services. EFI planned to upgrade its SAP modules and at the same time move from a proprietary hardware and software environment to industry-standard x86-based hardware and Red Hat Linux operating system.
The SolutionEFI used VMware® Infrastructure 3 to minimize the complexity
and reduce the cost of developing, testing, and deploying its upgrade to this multi-tiered environment.
• Saved 30% on hardware costs
• Reduced energy costs by one-third
• Avoided project budget creep
• Cut off-hours workload in half
“…our developers have the resources they need, when they need them, and we’ve really mitigated ‘budget creep.’ That flexibility has to do with the functionality and responsiveness of VMware products, which enables us to serve our customer better and ultimately to save my company money.”
Dave SwanSenior Manager, IS&T Server
OperationsEFI
Delivering on Uptime RequirementsThe ChallengeCheckpoint needed to create a more robust and flexible SAP
solutions based environment. The company was also trying to reduce ongoing maintenance overhead and ensure reliable IT infrastructure for remote sites. In addition to all of that, it needed to provide enhanced DR capabilities.
The SolutionVMware Infrastructure 3 accelerated provisioning, simplified
management and improved disaster recovery by providing a more robust and scalable platform for Checkpoint’s SAP software deployment.
• Utilization increased from 15% to 70%
• Provisioning times reduced from 4-6 weeks to 1 hour
• Accelerated disaster recovery at secondary site
“VMware is certainly our platform of choice; in terms of reliability we have a very robust infrastructure which is currently delivering 99.99% uptime for our critical systems. As far as manageability is concerned, running SAP on VMware means our IT department spends far less time on mundane maintenance tasks and can focus on more strategic projects.
Michael NoggerIT Operations Manager Europe
Checkpoint Systems International GMBH
The ChallengeHardware supporting the SAP environment at AstraZeneca’s
Plankstadt datacenter was aging and needed to be replaced. This upgrade was made more difficult by requirements for high application availability and a more efficient business continuity process, and the regulatory requirements imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
The SolutionAstraZeneca worked with AddOn Systemhaus to deploy VMware®
Infrastructure 3 on HP Proliant servers. VMotion is used to achieve high availability, and virtual machine templates mean server certification can be done in less time
• 10:1 server consolidation ratio
• Server deployment dropped to 30 minutes
• Reduced time and complexity of regulatory server certification process
• Expect 3-year cost savings of > �1M
“…VMware Infrastructure is proving to have a lot of benefits for us. We are already using VMotion to achieve high availability and 24/7 uptime... And we’re exploring the ways virtualization can help us provide better service levels with Consolidated Backup and quicker restarts. ”
