AGENDA Where’s the pain?

Vblock Solution for SAP

Summary and next steps


WHERE’S THE PAIN? ~60% of all SAP have peak operations

- ERP runs, HR salary calculations, building BW cubes

~78% of all SAP face continuous changes in their landscape - Rollouts, functional extensions, release changes, process automation

SAP Sprawl - 1 SAP database production

3 to 5 non-production

Companies grows, shrinks, splits & mergers

- Need dynamic infrastructure

Downtime is costly

The Changing SAP landscape

TCO STUDY ON VBLOCK

• Vblock is a technology and architecture offering. And it makes better use of hardware investment as expected.

• But the major savings when looking at Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) are in the area of time and effort for upgrade and continuous change projects.

• This is important because overall more than 80% of today’s IT cost is not systems but system and application management.
