The Fujitsu FlexFrame for SAP platform and service "The managed infrastructure of SAP" offered clients within products for dynamic infrastructures provide the increased efficiency and flexibility thanks to which large enterprises can quickly adapt to new requirements of business, at the same time cutting down expenses.

The solution FlexFrame for SAP includes servers, storage systems, network equipment and the necessary software (operating systems, modules of SAP, managing software). All hardware-software components pass preset tuning and test before delivery to the client. SAP applications and the operating system are placed in a centralized system of data storage and can be started on any server of a pool within several minutes. At failure there is an automatic redistribution of resources as a result of which the server is at once restarted on other physical computer or the virtual machine.

Thus, ensuring necessary level of availability of the systems of SAP requires only one or several servers in standby mode (configurations of reservation N:1, N: M).

The cluster platforms requiring essential investments were once for this purpose necessary. Now use of centralized operation and technology of virtualization simplifies workflows, increases labor productivity and provides the increased availability at significant savings of means. The solution which implementation does not require preliminary investments allows to cut down expenses on deployment and maintenance of infrastructures.
