If you haven't yet, please have a look at SAP's announcement of the SAP Virtualization Week April 7-10! This great virtualization event takes place in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab (see also my previous blog) of SAP Labs in Palo Alto. You can learn how other customers have virtualized their SAP environments, evaluate new technologies, and of course you will hear from SAP about their virtualization strategy. There are many great sessions.
VMware will have two sessions. The first, presented together with HP, provides a lot of great information resulting from an 'SAP on VMware' workload characterization study with HP. Test scenarios cover multi 2-tier and 3-tier scenarios of ECC 6.0 on NUMA and UMA based HP X86-64 ProLiant servers with results demonstrating scalability, ESX Server NUMA optimization and performance improvements from ESX Server 3.0.2 to ESX Server 3.5. Really good stuff.
In our second presentation, we will discuss service automation provided by VMware technologies. Very specifically, with NetApp as co-presenter, we will talk about disaster recovery facilitated by the upcoming VMware Site Recovery Manager, which will simplify protection against disasters by leveraging and extending the VMware virtualization framework. We will also discuss other new VMware products that will provide SAP service management. The presentation is in part based on one of the two projects on the way in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab -- more details to follow).
Several customers will present their experiences with VMware in an SAP environment. If you're interested in virtualization in an SAP environment it will be a great event!
Note: you only have until March 16 to register!

P.S.: If you miss it... all of the presentations will be available on SDN. And we will also surely write about it in this forum.
