Objectives
Consolidate the IT landscape using virtualization technologies
and leverage products like SAP NetWeaver Landscape Virtualization
Management to manage the SAP landscape.
Minimize planned downtimes during key administrative tasks and
improve Service Levels offered to the internal business
customers.
Quick and rapid provisioning of SAP systems to improve testing
and integration scenarios. Reduce costs and complexity. Why SAP
Long-term relationship with SAP SAP applications run the most
critical business applications for LHI LVM quite naturally
complements and enhances the overall story around hardware
consolidation and infrastructure
virtualization Benefits
Automated copy & refresh of productive systems via LVM helps
meet some of the demanding business requirements. End-to-end
Automation of day to day administrative tasks reduces TCO. Open
architecture and rich set of interfaces allows easy integration of
LVM with other technologies in the data center (storage,
databases, virtualization etc.) SAP application awareness and
SAP content (Post-Copy Automation) eliminates manual effort reduces
time and resources
required. SAP content is part of the SAP technology foundation
layer and is enhanced regularly via the standard patching
process.
Implementation of SAP Netweaver Landscape Virtualization
Management as part of the
hardware consolidation and re-platforming project has resulted
in increased flexibility and
improved responsiveness to our business. LVM offers a compelling
value proposition
because of the end-to-end automation of complex tasks which
results in reduced costs and
minimizes planned outages.
