OPEN CALL: hardware needed to run SAP on Linux

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 17 Sep 2004

Q:
If I move my SAP installations to Linux, will I need more CPUs than I have right now? If so, it will require me to buy more SAP licenses, and I probably won't really save anything.



A:
We've got customers with SAP that have migrated SAP from AIX to SLES 8 and they reportedly haven't needed extra hardware. They used the same number of CPUs/servers, and they got a better performance and response times.

OPEN CALL: Anyone have any experiences to share on this topic? Let us know.
