accelerate…so do the management and admin costs

• How to leverage
App! Cloud?
18. Application virtualization is an umbrella term that
describes software technologies that improve portability,
manageability and compatibility of applications by
encapsulating them from the underlying operating
system on which they are executed. A fully virtualized
application is not installed in the traditional sense[1],
although it is still executed as if it is. The application is
fooled at runtime into believing that it is directly
interfacing with the original operating system and all the
resources managed by it, when in reality it is not. In this
context, the term "virtualization" refers to the artifact
being encapsulated (application), which is quite different
to its meaning in hardware virtualization, where it refers
to the artifact being abstracted (physical hardware).

- ECC
- ABAP, Java
- Oracle, SQL Server
- Change SID
- Change Host Name
- No AppZero or SAP install
25. Impact Analysis of 100% Mobility for SAP

• AppZero reduces total steps from 50+ to 1
• AppZero total time from 40 hours to 15-20 mins

27. Case Study: Fortune 100 Financial Services Co
Business Challenge: Solution:
• 50% of Servers utilized under 10% - • Move to a “stateless” Private Cloud
across both production and non- computing model with
production ( e.g. dev/test ) scenarios • Gold OS Images ( Citrix PVS )
• Provisioning times for business • Gold AppImages ( AppZero VAA )
requests for new infrastructure average • Workload Manager ( 3rd Party )
2-4 weeks
• Federate Private Cloud with Service
• Early adoption of Server Virtualization Provider “semi private” Cloud
created dramatic improvements in both
utilization and Provisioning, but created
problems too:
• Hasn’t gone far enough on either
Benefits:
dimension • Newer infrastructure w/VAA are 80%
cheaper to maintain
• New problems with VM Sprawl
• Less to maintain due to VAA
• SW lifecycle issues not
reuse
addressed/affected ( e.g.
Windows Server:admin ratios not • Fewer Images reduce sprawl
improved ) • VAA mobility across Hybrid Cloud
accommodates unforeseen bursts

29. Case Study: SAP Partner
Business Challenge: Solution:
• International SAP Partner with over 50 • Created VAA for SAP
consultants regionally; conducts 8-10 • Saved best practice VAA for future re-
Proof of Concepts (POC) per Month use
• Leveraged Cloud Computing to remove
• Hardware and staff constraints created hardware bottleneck
bottleneck, limiting quality and number
of POCs
– Each POC requires 1-2 man weeks to
set up
– Each POC requires its own dedicated
hardware
Benefits:
• Instantaneous POC on Cloud ( Amazon
EC2) with under 1 hour set up
• Eliminated need for dedicated Hardware
at Partner’s facilities
• Direct Savings: $50k in capital expense,
ongoing $100k in OpEx due to labor
savings
