Reduce System Complexity And Total Cost Of Ownership
Abstract:
SAP Adaptive Computing Controller is an application based virtualization that provides greater flexibility in managing SAP systems and landscape.

Combining the power of Adaptive Computing with virtualization technology increases the flexibility and reduces the complexity of SAP system management. Session attendees will gain an understanding of the building blocks of SAP Adaptive Computing Controller. This session will present several use cases how Adaptive Computing, combined with virtualization technology, can help to lower costs, increase flexibility, and allow for optimal management of SAP applications. In addition, attendees will gain an understanding of how SAP Adaptive Computing Controller complements existing virtualization strategies. This session will also include demos to illustrate the use cases and functionality.
