C14 — SAP Cloud Infrastructure and Virtualization Strategy
An end to end approach of leveraging SAP solutions in Cloud and Virtual Infrastructures promise significant TCO savings, drastic increase in IT agility and a much more efficient relationship between a solution provider and consumer. In this session we will share and discuss the SAP Strategy in this space and might also share a couple of demonstrations, if time permits. SAP is very interested in feedback, so we are looking for active participation. |

V10 — Demo: Building a Virtual Appliance for SAP BusinessObjects Explorer with SUSE Studio
Appliances encapsulate an application's dependencies in a pre-integrated self-contained unit. This can dramatically simplify deployment on-site customer by freeing users from having to worry about resolving potentially complex OS compatibility issues, library dependencies or undesirable interactions with other applications. Late 2009 Novell and SAP did run a proof of concept to investigate the feasibility of SUSE Studio to build a virtual appliance for SAP BusinessObjects Explorer. In this session we will demonstrate in real time how this can be achieved and we will discuss the lessons learned. This demo will be co-presented by Arne Armold, SAP Development Project Manager, NW Appliance Infrastructure and Jeff Uphoff, Senior Software Engineer from Novell's SUSE Studio team. |

V03 — Virtualizing SAP at Dow Chemical
Virtualization is quickly changing the way companies deploy enterprise applications, greatly increasing efficiency, SLAs, and agility of the infrastructure. In 2006, Dow started a multiyear Next Enterprise Architecture (NEA) program to replace most of the existing enterprise business applications largely with the SAP. The cosmplexity of the corresponding IT infrastructure required a new platform architecture that heavily leverages the x86 platform and VMware virtualization. Dow Chemical has achieved excellent results, supporting the NEA program with the required application functionality supported by an efficient and agile IT infrastructure. This presentation describes the Dow NEA environment as well as current and future uses of virtualization. This session also explicitly discusses the benefits of virtualization and lessons learned in the course of the NEA program.

V09 — SAP on Hyper-V V2
This session gives an update on the latest version of Hyper-V which delivers excellent performance and scalability, live migration and comprehensive management capabilities for virtualized SAP applications. SAP applications are perfect targets for consolidation and landscape optimization because of the number of middleware components and their requirements. As a matter of fact, server virtualization has been used in the majority of all re-platform or new SAP installations on Windows during the last 12 month. But what is the right architecture between native and virtual installations, what can be virtualized with SAP and what is potentially risky? These questions will be answered by this presentation as well as best practice about how customers used the latest version of Hyper-V for SAP from real customer projects will be provided. Additionally, the operational aspects of SAP infrastructures with Hyper-V will also be covered. |

C04 — Provisioning SAP Landscapes Flexibly and Securely in the Enterprise Cloud
The Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud computing model has become widely recognized as a strategically critical component of future enterprise IT environments. First generation clouds, however, offer a relatively simple "virtual private server" model, which while useful for grid computing workloads and web-based front end services, does not map easily onto today’s IT infrastructures. In this session we will dissect the notion of the enterprise class cloud — clouds that offer scale, dependability, service level agreements, and the power to end users to build, deploy, and manage rich IT infrastructures in an automated, dependable fashion on an as-needed basis. However, even the best of enterprise clouds is not an SAP Cloud until it has the capability to rapidly provision complex SAP landscapes in highly secure configurations that vary widely in functional requirements from one customer to the next. Collaboration between SAP and Citrix now enables customers and service providers alike to provide the operational efficiencies of cloud automation with a wide variety of SAP landscape configurations on a rock solid virtual infrastructure, at the lowest ownership cost. In this session we will dissect the concept of the enterprise-class cloud and will introduce how this can be used to deploy environments such as SAP, on demand. |

V08 — Benefits of Intel’s Nehalem-EX Platform on ERP Virtualization
This presentation showcases the benefits of Intel’s latest generation Nehalem-EX platform for deploying ERP workloads under virtualized environment. Main benefit of virtualization is the ability to provide an agreed upon ERP services to a set of customers with easy manageability and low TCO. As the service demand increases, the host must be able to gracefully scale with increasing number of VMs. Furthermore, any unexpected increase of service demands by one customer should not impact the services of the other customers. Using an industry standard hypervisor, we first show that NEH-EX has a huge performance gain over the previous generation platform. Then we demonstrate how we can easily achieve the aforementioned goals of ERP virtualization using Nehalem-EX platform. |
