  4. Adaptive Computing • Adaptive Computing is a new approach to design hardware, software and system services following the business-driven need to permanent change and adaptability • It is about empowering the customer to be able to run any service any time on any server. In this context the word application service is used to describe any kind of scenario, solution or application component • A computing infrastructure is called adaptive, if it allows the dynamic assignment of hardware resources to serve specific application services. In this way, SAP NetWeaver enables an 'Adaptive Computing Infrastructure' and thus ensures that business solutions based on SAP NetWeaver run at peak cost efficiency

  5. The NetWeaver Capability Adaptive Computing SAP NetWeaver™ PEOPLE INTEGRATION SAP NetWeaver provides a way to virtualize application services, and provides a single central point of control for flexible compute resource assignment for existing and new code to run on dedicated/changing hardware.

  6. Adaptive ComputingTechnical Overview General information Building blocks and characteristics The Adaptive Computing Controller Summary

  7. Computing Network Control Storage Adaptive Computing - The four building blocks • Have dedicated resources for computing, storage, network and control • Pool them and share them – if appropriate • Define application services and virtualize them

  8. The Adaptive Computing Building Elements Solution Stack Automated Execution Adaptive Computing Controller Adaptive Computing Virtualization Layer Computing Infrastructure • Adaptive Computing Virtualization Layer • Enables a virtualization layer to start any service any time on any server • Automated Execution • Application Services Management, Auto Inventory, Netboot@SAP • Adaptive Computing Controller • Provides a single point of control to operate, observe and manage an adaptive business solution

  9. Adaptive Computing – SAP/Application View Deliverables • How to enable Solutions (Services, components ) to become adaptive • Virtualization • Requirements for application • White papers • Requirement list Logical Landscape • based on SAP NetWeaver™ • Solution Management SAP/Application View Solution Stack Automated Execution Adaptive Computing Controller Adaptive Computing Virtualization Layer Computing Infrastructure

  10. Adaptive Computing – Technology Partner View Solution Stack Automated Execution Adaptive Computing Controller Adaptive Computing Virtualization Layer Computing Infrastructure Partner View (Products/Solutions) Deliverables • How to enable partners to certify their products • Certification process • Requirement list • Certification tools • Porting guide Physical landscape • Plattform/technology requirements • System management • Platform ( OS, DB, netboot, virtualization layer, ... ) • Storage ( NFS, SAN, NAS, ... ) • 3rd party management software

  11. Characteristics of the building blocks • HW+OS provisioning • Easy add and remove computing resources with low admin efforts • Single point of OS maintenance: netboot (shared or multiple OS), OS deployment, or equivalenttechnology • Network • Connects computing nodes to each other • Builds up connection between building blocks ‘Computing’ and ‘Storage’ • Transport layer for virtualization Computing Network • Adaptive Computing Controller • Provides a single point of control to operate, observe and manage an adaptive business solution • Capability of SAP NetWeaver™ (based on Standards: SAP J2EE engine, XML, CIM…) • Interfaces with SAP Solution Manager • Controller Command Interface for communication with third party software • Storage Data • Application Services: SAP instances managed and assigned to a dedicated computing resource • Installation-free provisioning for Application services • No local disk space required to run SAP applications; application data stored on storage system within a network Control Storage
