SAP system

 

landscape

 

proposals

 

The following SAP landscape proposals reflect proven solutions that are in widespread 

use. A large number of environments with ProLiant

 

server (increasingly blade 

environments) and Enterprise Virtual Storage Arrays have been placed in the market 

during the last years.

 

Detailed technical and pricing (German list price) information on the following 

configuration examples is available (only for HP SAP partners) via a separate Excel 

worksheet.  As the corresponding infrastructure, such as host bus controllers, FC 

switches-

 

and cables, rack and accessory are included and separately illustrated, you 

are able to create individual landscapes for budgeting and method of resolution. The 

hardware building blocks are separated in rack, server, storage,

 

backup, fibre

 

channel 

server-

 

and san components.

 

The cluster examples are designed for NetWeaver

 

2004s. What’s new in 2004s is that 

only the critical components of a SAP system are clustered. These are the database and 

(A)SCS SAP instance (Message and Enqueue). Additionally SAP application servers are 

required to provide dialog, batch, update, spool and gateway services. It is 

recommended that the application server is configured as a log on group.
