We have recently been very busy with SAP activities and events, including SAP Virtualization Week in Palo Alto, SAP Sapphire Orlando, the completed VMware Site Recovery Manager project with SAP and NetApp at the SAP Co-Innovation Lab, and the announcement of the SAP Enterprise Virtualization Community. We're not done yet: SAP Sapphire Berlin happens in less than two weeks. All will be discussed shortly when we get a few minutes to write about them.
But first, I want to announce the VMware SAP Solutions Partner Community. We created this growing community of VMware consulting/SI partners specifically to address the needs of customers who want to virtualize their SAP environments. All partners have demonstrated their SAP and VMware expertise, and they are well-qualified to support our customers. We will work with them to extend best practices, develop new use cases, and build new solutions for virtualized SAP landscapes. The partners are also encouraged to collaborate with each other. In short, it's an outstanding group of diverse, qualified, and enthusiastic partners and VMware is very excited to work with them!
If your organization needs a service partner/integrator to assist you in virtualizing your SAP landscape, this is a great place to start. And if you are a service partner, consider joining the community!
