Check out the new 'SAP on VMware' success story on Checkpoint Systems, published by Manufacturing Computer Solutions. The article illustrates why customers turn to VMware virtualization for their SAP landscapes, and what kind of results they are seeing.

Checkpoint's problem areas - maintenance, upgrades, and provisioning - have been fully addressed by VMware virtualization. The entire ERP environment was virtualized, including database and central instance in production and non-production landscapes. What are the results? Among the most important are improved ability to deliver on internal SLAs and accelerated disaster recovery. The article also cites an 8:1 consolidation ratio, 34% reduction in power and cooling costs, and a reduction of provisioning times from six weeks to one hour. Truly great results, and very typical.
