The advantages of HP BladeSystem as a platform for deploying SAP applications are significant. For new SAP implementations or upgrades to existing environments, the new c-class HP BladeSystem provides the performance, capacity, and flexibility required for an enterprise infrastructure. The design of c-class was driven by an integrated approach to address datacenter issues of power and cooling.
In a typical SAP application environment, a range of servers and storage are statically allocated and managed within silos. Consequently, average utilization of infrastructure resources may be as low as 25%. The deployment of new applications can be complex, time-consuming and costly. Increasingly, SAP customers are looking for integrated solutions built on industry-standard, modular components that can cost effectively respond to change.
HP has developed the HP Virtualized Infrastructure Solutions for mySAP Business Suite based on the HP BladeSystem infrastructure. The HP BladeSystem is ideal to deploy highly available SAP applications that cover the complete range of SAP offerings, as well as smaller system landscapes that can also be incorporated into a company's overall IT datacenter.
The SAP BI accelerator (BIA) is a breakthrough innovation for SAP NetWeaver BI installations that builds on innovative technology to enable a dramatic improvement in query response times.
TThe HP appliance for the BI accelerator is a standardized, pre-tested and pre-integrated out-of-the-box solution based on HP ProLiant BL20p blade servers with 64-bit Intel Xeon processors. The BI accelerator integrates into any existing SAP business intelligence environment and provides a quick return on investment.
