概述
开发、测试和承载多层环境的复杂性和成本始终受到加入世界级 ERP 的准入费的牵制。与仅使用物理基础架构的客户相比，使用 VMware Infrastructure 的 SAP 客户可使其开发、测试、培训和生产环境的速度更快，更经济高效。
出色的协作：基于 VMware Infrastructure 的 SAP 解决方案
- 减少服务器数量：通过在较少的高度可扩展且可靠的企业级服务器上整合的虚拟机中运行 SAP 应用程序层，VMware Infrastructure 遏制了服务器数量剧增现象。
- 轻松迅速地执行部署开发和测试：克隆生产系统或创建一组镜像生产的虚拟机库，可以使用这些库轻松迅速地执行部署测试环境。
- 在几分钟内配置新 SAP 环境：利用虚拟机库和虚拟机模板，可以在几分钟内执行部署好新的预配置的 SAP 应用程序环境。
- 提高了高可用性，使灾难恢复更经济高效：VMware 虚拟化与 SAP 软件协同工作，可为关键业务功能提供增强的高可用性。客户可实施灾难恢复 (DR) 平台，使用该平台后，无需花费大量投资来复制生产硬件，即可在发生故障后恢复 SAP 生产虚拟机服务器。
- 在用户不停机的情况下迁移运行中的 SAP 应用服务器：VMware VMotion 可将运行中的 SAP 虚拟机从一台物理服务器实时迁移到另一台服务器，无需系统停机（可中断业务运营），即可执行硬件维护。
A Beautiful Synergy: SAP Solutions on VMware Infrastructure
" In any large multi-tier application deployment, you have to use resources such as consultants whose costs can add up if they have to wait for test and development systems to be set up. With VMware Infrastructure, we can add another compute block to the cluster or whip up new virtual machines quickly. As a result 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 Swan, Senior Manager, IS &T Server Operations, EFI
- Reduce server sprawl: VMware Infrastructure contains server sprawl by running SAP application layers in virtual machines consolidated onto fewer, highly scalable and reliable enterprise-class servers.
- Provision dev and test quickly and easily: Clone production systems or create a set of virtual machine libraries mirroring production which can be used to provision the test environment quickly and easily.
- Configure new SAP environments in minutes: Take advantage of Virtual Machine Libraries and Virtual Machine Templates to provision new pre-configured SAP application environments in minutes.
- Deliver enhanced high availability and cost-effective Disaster Recovery: VMware virtualization works alongside SAP software to deliver enhanced high availability for critical business functions. Customers can implement a disaster recovery (DR) platform that allows production SAP virtual machine servers to be recovered after failure, without investing in an exact replica of the production hardware.
- Migrate live SAP application servers with no user downtime: VMware VMotion enables the live migration of running SAP virtual machines from one physical server to another, enabling hardware maintenance without requiring system downtime that can disrupt business operations.
