When to Move
Do You Suffer from Any or All of These? Aging hardware with poor price/performance Older applications need upgrading High hardware/software maintenance and support costs Increasing operational costs (power, cooling, real estate) Pressure to internationalize and adopt UNICODE Vendor lock-in Data center space is constrained

Stage 1: Early Adopters > Driven by cost-efficiency and stability while keeping System Administration overhead under control > Industry sectors without critical performance or availability requirements Stage 2: First wave of wider adoption > Driven by cost, with critical performance and availability requirements taken for granted > Wider industry sectors
10
Stage 3: Widespread adoption (Current stage) > Driven by availability of powerful, commodity hardware as well as the high degree of automation that Linux provides > Industry sectors widespread and include areas such as Utilities and hosting companies > SAP on Linux installations today operate with high capacity and availability requirements
11
Hardware Maintenance
The move to commodity hardware drives a reduction in annual hardware maintenance costs of up to 90%
Commercial Linux subscription fees are typically up to 60% LESS than the license costs for the UNIX systems they replace
12
REALTECH has built a framework to normalize CPU power and hardware costs for crossplatform comparisons.
13
x64 architecture provides the greatest cost advantage while providing high levels of performance
High-end computing and memory capacities at commodity equipment pricing Multi-core and multi-threading technologies have multiplied CPU power to a great extent Modern 2 or 4 processor commodity servers outperform much larger, yet older (1 or 2 yrs.) systems
> >
First x64 architectures ranged around 1,000 SAPS per CPU in 2005 Current x64 architectures range between 4,500 to 6,100 SAPS today
14
x64 x64
Observations: Top 4 systems are x64 based Some of the top 4 systems perform faster than some of the higher-end processor architectures providing cost and performance advantages Commodity 4- and 8-way x64 systems now reach performance levels previously achieved only by 8-way (or higher) systems running UNIX Competition between Intel and AMD keeps x64 architecture constantly updated and costs very competitive
15
Indirect cost savings drive the migration to Linux from UNIX from an operating system standpoint
UNIX technical staff are more easily trained on Linux (have greater affinity for Linux) No major programming issues when migrating scripts, programmatic interfaces or transport files, and no major disk drive adoption issues
These issues, while small, frequently add up to make a decisive difference in favor of Linux
16
If Linux is your choice, you can confidently move to this open-source platform in the knowledge that SAP solutions running on Linux are as robust and enjoy the same full support and long-term commitment from SAP and its global partners as they do on every other operating system.

The UNIX to Linux migration contributes to significant cost savings There is plenty of UNIX know-how and also production experience with Linux application servers for SAP Linux is highly accepted and welcome in the existing SAP team The existing UNIX infrastructure is close to end of depreciation The existing UNIX infrastructure needs to be extended or replaced due to performance aspects and new business requirements The customer needed a migration partner ensuring success, which was triggered by the question Is Linux ready for our mission-critical applications?
