With minimal manual intervention, adjustments to computing demand can be made to maintain maximum operational efficiency with near zero downtime. As a result, customers can achieve optimum usage of their IT infrastructure investment. The FlexFrame for mySAP Business Suite solution is a proven foundation on which enterprise customers can confidently deploy the latest mySAP solutions, facilitating easy and flexible SAP system management for superior operational efficiency. The solution was designed in close collaboration with SAP AG and Network Appliance.
