Infrastructure simplification is a process by which organizations
contain expenses, enable business growth, and reduce operational
risk by optimizing IT resources. Simplified infrastructures hold
the promise of improved system optimization and TCO, higher personnel
productivity and greater application availability through infrastructure
resiliency. IBM TotalStorage products are designed to help SAP clients
obtain these benefits through consolidation, virtualization, and
automated management. Once simplified, the infrastructure can be
better managed for lower cost and with fewer errors. For SAP customers,
having a simplified and resilient infrastructure means less resources
and time in managing, monitoring, and updating the infrastructure
and more time on running SAP applications and running the business.
There are three ways to accomplish this:
Consolidation - IBM TotalStorage products can help consolidate the
storage environment to be more resilient
Virtualization of physical resources are an essential part of a
simplified storage environment.
Automated Management - Understanding the environment is essential
and IBM's automated management software can help.
