Cost of maintaining sprawling SAP landscapes
It is common to have four, six, or even ten or more SAP applications running – each with its own landscape comprised of development, test and quality assurance.
If you’re like most organizations, 80% of IT budget is trapped in operations and maintenance work. Challenges can include:
• Difficulty scaling highly virtualized SAP environments
• Higher TCO from running on “siloed” IT with large data footprints
• Long maintenance and upgrade cycles for SAP
Preparing for SAP HANA
In addition to maintaining SAP landscapes, IT needs to consider the implications of managing traditional SAP ERP and SAP BW systems running on storage-based databases, while transitioning to an SAP HANA in-memory database – and ultimately to SAP S/4HANA as the key solutions.
That means your SAP landscapes most likely will include mixed SAP workloads based on one or more of the following SAP deployment scenarios.
