Sap Virtualization Week 2009
0 likes691 views
The document discusses Sun's virtualization technologies for SAP environments. It covers market trends driving virtualization, different levels of virtualization including containers, and virtualization management tools. Upcoming features include improved support for Adaptive Computing and containers in the N1 Advanced Architecture and xVM Ops Center management platform. Virtualization can help optimize resource utilization and reduce costs for SAP customers.

- 10. Virtualization technologies on Sun platforms full SW-Stack Virtual Machines OS Virtualization minimal overhead tied to application (CPU & memory) (OS, MW, Application) File Web Mail Calendar Database Web Server Server Server Server Server implementation using just 1:1 mapping of Solaris features is possible existing system (additional tools are not a must) landscape possible small administration overhead only minor changes tight integration into to operational Sun Cluster procedures (monitoring & SW clear separation of roles (platform lifecycle-mgmt / patching) vs. application mgmt.) Live Migration conceptually possible Only one patch level for kernel significant overhead (CPU, Memory, Network) conceptually 'Live-migration' is not possible highest administration efforts A few applications can not be run within zones (guests AND hypervisor require maintenance) (for SAP software this is not really an issue) high license- and maintenance-cost (virtualization-SW & guest OS) Different virtualization technologies on different layers do make sense ! They address different requirements. 10
- 11. OS Virtualization OS Virtualization Solaris Containers deliver orders of magnitude more flexibility — Up to 8000 containers per OS Calendar Server Database Web Server Containers plus ZFSTM file system provide greater agility and faster adoption of SAP solutions Support on SPARC ®, UltraSPARC, and x64 systems (see saponsolaris.com) Low to no overhead — benchmark at less than 2% Containers are free! 11
