FLEXFRAME™ FOR SAP®

Unlock your full potential with FlexFrame for SAP

Our Dynamic Data Center strategy is perceived as a pragmatic way for achieving measurable successes quickly. With our Dynamic IT solution FlexFrame for SAP we have demonstrated this impressively.

FlexFrame for SAP is a pre-integrated and highly efficient IT-infrastructure that dynamically assigns servers to SAP applications on demand.

The SAP software and Linux or Solaris operating system are on a central storage system and can be started on any server in the FlexFrame pool within minutes reducing installation and maintenance dramatically. It is a unique solution for consolidating SAP applications on industry standard platforms that can grow in small steps without unnecessary pre-investments. Peak loads are compensated quickly by the addition of extra systems. Should a server fail the SAP software is automatically restarted on another system. Its modularity makes FlexFrame an ideal platform for Enterprise SOA strategy and NetWeaver architecture of SAP.

FlexFrame for SAP from Fujitsu Siemens Computers reduces complexity in the world of business-critical computing and offers extensively tested and innovative SAP infrastructure consolidation. This includes:
  • Stepwise consolidation on industry standard platforms

  • Efficient and reliable operation through design

  • Ideal infrastructure for SAP NetWeaver and ready for Enterprise SOA of SAP
The core benefit is a combination of significant reductions in total cost of ownership with radical improvements in flexibility. The FlexFrame for SAP solution achieves this by:
  • Virtualization: SAP applications are installed on central storage and run on demand on any server, making deployment software unnecessary. Updates and patches easy to install, with no downtime.

  • Automation: Replacing complicated cluster technologies, FlexFrame‘s Intelligent Management Software minimizes complexity, human error and maximizes IT efficiency.

  • Integration: The complete FlexFrame solution, including storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) from EMC or NetApp, is fully tested before it is integrated into a customer’s environment. The integrated components simplify the installation, expansion, central administration processes or storage consolidation.

  • Service-oriented: Control nodes monitor FlexFrame components and make complicated and expensive cluster configurations redundant. Service-oriented FlexFrame offers SAP Services on demand and making dedicated and secured data areas available for different users.
