Happy New Year 2010 to all readers of our blog I am very excited to make a great announcement just as we start into business in 2010.
In the past months, I have spoken to many SAP customers that told me about ONE issue they face, when virtualizing SAP: Oracle would not support SAP production landscapes on VMware. While many customers continued virtualizing SAP on Oracle despite these restrictions, some did not and had to delay their project. We have worked with SAP and Oracle to improve the support situation and in Q4 09 the stack was already under evaluation.
Now, I am happy to announce that Oracle modified their policy to support SAP/VMware users as follows (see SAP Note 1173954 for details):
1. Since Jan 13, 2010, Oracle supports SAP production landscapes on Oracle DB single instance (no RAC) virtualized with VMware ESX 3.5 and higher
2. Minimum OS on MSFT is Windows Server 2008; SLES and RHEL are also supported
3. Minimum Oracle release is Oracle 10.2.0.4
4. Oracle will support VMware in the context of Oracle Metalink Note 249212.1

SAP POC in the Cloud
Proof of Concept NOW!
The Silver Lining® Cloud for your SAP Upgrade Proof of Concept allows you to jump right into your research without waiting for hardware or time to build an on-site system. You can immediately deliver capabilities to numerous staff members for assessment and acclimation. We designed our Silver Lining® solution to be seamless to your environment.
Sign up and go through a normal SAP log on GUI pad. You will have full SAP_ALL access to a fully configured SAP Cloud that allows you to grasp the new components, build upon knowledge needed in the complex issue of the SAP upgrade, all while not having to install, service or support the solution.
Companies using SAP are engaged in evaluation/deployment of enterprise upgrades, new dimension tools like Business Intelligence and Solution Manager, and Xapps. As companies strive to justify and leverage these investments, executive management is looking for the following –
• Reliability in managing the upgrade
• ROI from the investment in new tools and applications
• Higher levels of acceptance, utilization and production from its user and technical communities
What is needed is the option to access a fully functional SAP landscape where SAP users can construct Proof of Concept and Conference Room Pilot environments to experiment with new SAP functionality – with full control and usability and no disruption to the production environment! HiLn has invested two years in creating a reliable, fully-functional SAP cloud landscape to address this need.
This offering will enable any SAP client to access (using the standard SAP GUI) their own fully functional SAP ECC6 environment; most new dimension apps; and the IDES data set for Proof of Concept and experimentation purposes.
Your “cloud” is highly secured and only accessed/used by your organization and requires NO internal resources (systems/ or technical staff ) to utilize. Contact our helpdesk to manage your cloud environments, refresh them for a new training class or for experimentation, restore to a core IDES image for comparison, whatever your requirements.
This solution is intended for non-production utilization as an alternative to buying/supporting incremental servers whereby we handle the hosting and refreshing of your cloud instance –in minutes!! As confirmed by select trial users of this offering, “the Silver Lining SAP Cloud Solution” adds tremendous value throughout the SAP Application Life-Cycle Management process and is ideal for rapid, low-cost access to a fully functional ECC6 landscape.
Contact HiLn to confirm your interest in deploying our Silver Lining SAP cloud solution. We will discuss your interest and requirements for using the solution and provision your own SAP clouds. Subscription term can be annual or month-to-month. If you decide you would like to enhance your SAP landscape to include additional capabilities such as utilization of your own data or setting up specific landscape configurations, our consultants can accommodate on a project basis.
Companies today are adopting Lean IT methodologies to drive higher value to their users while stretching increasingly scarce IT dollars. HiLn Solutions is committed to assisting these companies in pursuit of this goal and strive to provide meaningful soluti ons that drive value into the SAP landscape.
