Fujitsu Siemens Computers first infrastructure provider to
successfully pass “SAP Adaptive Computing Compliance
Test”
PRIMERGY and Network Appliance Filer prove conformity to SAP
Adaptive Computing
Munich/Germany, May 11, 2004 —Fujitsu Siemens Computers today announced that it is the
first SAP Global Technology Partner worldwide to pass the
“SAP Adaptive Computing Compliance Test”, proving that
the IT infrastructure of Fujitsu Siemens Computers is in functional
conformance with SAP’s Adaptive Computing capabilities, as
well as the procedures defined by SAP’s Adaptive Computing
Council. The solution consists of Intel-based PRIMERGY servers,
delivered by Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT
provider and network attached storage filer from Network Appliance.
To accompany the announcement of the availability of
SAP’s Adaptive Computing Controller, Fujitsu Siemens
Computers announced it will use this controller within their
adaptive IT infrastructure solution FlexFrameTM for mySAPTM
Business Suite, the first IT infrastructure realization of
SAP’s Adaptive Computing Infrastructure. FlexFrame for mySAP
Business Suite, enabled by SAP NetWeaver®, SAP’s open
integration and application platform has been developed with and
supported by SAP’s Global Partners Technology Fujitsu Siemens
Computers and Network Appliance. Not only is FlexFrame for mySAP
Business Suite the first realization of SAP’s Adaptive
Computing capabilities, it has been in infrastructure
implementation phase for over a year with more than 20 customer
implementations.
Dr. Joseph Reger, Chief Technology Officer of Fujitsu Siemens
Computers, explains: „It is our clear objective to stay the
innovator for IT infrastructures in the area of SAP Adaptive
Computing. We strive to align our IT infrastructure offering with
SAP Adaptive Computing capabilities. For those customers that have
already decided for FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite, the
successfully passed „Adaptive Computing Compliance
Test“ means doubled security. They have invested in a
solution that is protected long-term: it is based on a concept of
SAP that will now be rolled out to all technology partners, and one
that will continue to be innovatively driven by Fujitsu Siemens
Computers.”
“One year after successfully demonstrating the proof of
concept with Fujitsu Siemens Computers, SAP´s Adaptive
Computing capability – an important element of SAP NetWeaver,
SAP’s open integration- and application platform – will
be available for customers”, states Bernd Lober, Vice
President, Adaptive Computing, SAP AG. “For them the
successfully passed "SAP Adaptive Computing Compliance
Test" confirms the IT-Infrastructure solution of Fujitsu
Siemens Computers and is another step towards the reduction of
operating costs."
FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite - Background
FlexFrame for my SAP Business Suite is the IT Infrastructure
realization of SAP Adaptive Computing capabilities and a joint
project of the technology partners Fujitsu Siemens Computers and
Network Appliance. The Total Cost of Ownership of the entire
IT-landscape can be significantly lowered by reduced efforts for
company internal integration. With this, companies are enabled to
pursue a growth strategy and to adapt on changes in their business
environment.
SAP’s Adaptive Computing capability and its IT
infrastructure realization with FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite
aims in analogy on significant higher flexibility at the IT
infrastructure side to ease the implementation and operation of
business applications and to reduce operating costs. These improved
results are realized through a full virtualization of SAP
applications and the separation of those services from the
infrastructure resources computing, network, storage and control /
system management. Those infrastructure resources are delivered by
following innovative principles of autonomous systems with features
such as virtualization and automatic provisioning.
