SAP Virtualisation
Challenge: Provide a flexible and cost-effective virtual operating platform for your SAP landscape
Solution: Oxygen SAP Virtualisation SmartStart solution
Virtualisation solutions are proven to increase the utilisation of existing hardware and reduce capital and operational costs throughout an organisation.
Implementing a virtualisation platform under your SAP landscape enables environments to run more productively with fewer administrative headaches throughout the hardware and software lifecycle, than within a purely physical infrastructure.
Oxygen utilises VMware’s proven virtualisation technology to build a dynamic, flexible computing infrastructure for their SAP customer’s business-critical applications. Oxygen has experience virtualising SAP system including and excluding the production SAP instance from the virtualised environment.
From server consolidation and containment to business process and datacentre automation, the full range of virtualisation benefits can be applied to all sizes of SAP deployment – ultimately decreasing costs, improving SLA actuals and maximising IT efficiency.
