FlexFrame™ for mySAP™ Business Suite: background
FlexFrame for my SAP Business Suite is an early incarnation of grid technology. It is also the first worldwide IT Infrastructure realization of SAP Adaptive Computing capabilities and a joint project of the technology partners Fujitsu Siemens Computers and Network Appliance. It allows a significant reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for entire IT environments by reducing outlay for internal integration. FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite thus enables an organization to pursue a growth strategy and quickly react to changes in its business environment.

SAP Adaptive Computing Capabilities and its adaptation on IT Infrastructure level with FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite bring about substantially increased IT infrastructure flexibility by simplifying the implementation and execution of business applications and cutting operating costs. These enhanced results are achieved via the full virtualization of mySAP Business Suite solutions and the decoupling of these services from infrastructural resources, such as computing, network, storage, and control/system management. These resources are then made available on the basis of the innovative principles of autonomous systems by way of features such as virtualization and automatic provisioning. More than 20 customer worldwide experienced already the value and benefits of FlexFrame™ for mySAP™ Business Suite with proven TCO reductions on 30% and more.
