SAP BUSINESS SUITE

SAP is a large complex distributed system with web servers, app servers, and large database. Ideally the web and app servers are load-balanced with protocol aware load balancing routers. The database in SAP environment is often performance restrained.

Appko Cloud has solutions for each of these architectural elements. Database can be scaled dramatically due to the flexible storage solutions that VMware has access to. Load-balancing inside the virtual cloud is accomplished with a combination of AppFirewall Virtual™ (virtual edition of our router) and Cisco Nexus 1000V Virtual Switches. Storage I/O is scaled exponentially up to 80/Gb/second. With such a dramatic increase in base I/O, SAP can perform in ways you would have to see to believe.
