How to Minimize SAP Hardware utilization.

[Former Member]

We are hosting SAP solutions for our Small and Medium customers. Currently we are focusing on reducing our TCO.

What should be our approach to reduce the cost of hardware. We are already looking for Virtualuization.

But still one instance of SAP ECC 6.0 is taking 150-170 GB Hard disk space. How can i reduce disk space utilization.

There are couple of ways for getting the Virtualization.

Adaptive Computing with SAP ACC is one of that approach

HI,

>How can i reduce disk space utilization

Try to convince your customers that they need to implement SAP Archiving.

Otherwise you cannot do anything because you have to store your customers data...
