Application Servers White Papers

Novell Case Study: Siemens

Tags:
application servers

Overview Siemens IT Solutions and Services is an internationally leading provider of IT solutions and services. Siemens IT Solutions and Services wished to reduce the costs of running SAP applications on a UNIX infrastructure. The company's increasing hardware and maintenance costs were making it difficult to implement cost-effective solutions for its customers. In 2001, Siemens, Fujitsu-Siemens and Oracle jointly performed a proof of concept by achieving a new world record for concurrent users for the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) benchmark. The configuration consisted of a UNIX-based Primepower 2000 server and 160 Linux-based application servers. Siemens and its partners had been able to achieve 23,000 concurrent SAP SD users.
