By: Stephan De Maria

Reduce costs, increase flexibility – that’s what companies will always want their IT to achieve. Of course the current global economic crisis has made such demands more urgent, but there is no need for despair: Sensible concepts that meet these requirements are already available on the market.

Consolidate SAP applications with FlexFrame for SAP

An example of just such a solution is FlexFrame for SAP. The platform consolidates SAP applications on standard industry platforms that companies can upgrade in small increments. SAP partner Fujitsu (formerly Fujitsu Siemens Computers) developed the product for SAP customers back in 2003.

“The flexibility gained by eliminating dependencies between certain SAP applications, operating systems, and servers makes FlexFrame a suitable platform for service-oriented architecture (SOA) strategies and the architecture of SAP NetWeaver,” says Gunnar Dörken, who heads Fujitsu’s SAP-related IT infrastructure business. “Users with, say, 80 servers typically have to run an OS patch locally on each machine; with the FlexFrame solution, they only have to do it once centrally and then reboot all of the servers from a shared image,” explains Dörken, adding that this requires only a mouse click.
