SAP on Linux Migrations<br />

SAP on Linux


IT environments that have grown over time are usually characterized by different software and hardware components and varying development stages. The use of proprietary systems in particular ties up valuable resources and creates considerable administrative overhead. IT managers increasingly tend to replace such proprietary platforms with the x86 64-bit platform which offers considerable cost savings and enhanced performance while reducing complexity and making system administration easier. Companies that decide to move to Linux can break even after less than twelve months!

Currently, Linux is seeing annual growth rates of more than 20% in the SAP field. This growth is not limited to migrations from other platforms to Linux but also includes new installations that start out with Linux. Our experience shows that companies can achieve savings of up to 70% compared to SAP on UNIX.

A migration to Linux, however, offers more than cost savings. Companies running SAP applications on Linux systems benefit from significantly faster processing times. Enhanced availability and the continuously growing community and its virtually inexhaustible pool of Linux knowledge are key factors in the decision to move to Linux. Meanwhile, SAP has also chosen Linux as a host interface and global development platform.

Combined with our best practice methodology that draws on the experience gained during numerous projects we deliver the expertise to successfully migrate even the most complex system landscapes.
