ABSTRACT:
IT organizations of all sizes switch to SAP virtualization to realize multiple benefits: shorter application deployment time, freedom to move a VM to a new physical server without disruptions, and improved disaster recovery. Since SAP virtualization is a huge undertaking, an understanding of the available platforms and common problems is essential for a successful transition.
In this issue of the Virtual Data Center e-zine, Chris Wolf, senior analyst at the Burton Group, explains the direct benefits of implementing an SAP virtualization plan. He compares virtualization platforms, highlights common problems, and offers tips to leverage hardware-assisted memory virtualization.
Also in this issue:
Why more IT shops are virtualizing mission-critical applications and how they're doing it successfully
The challenges of integrating virtualization with change management systems
