What impact does an upgrade to SAP ERP have on the hardware?
In general, the impact on existing IT infrastructure depends on the following
criteria:
•
L ength of the transition path (the difference between the current and target
release)
•
Scope of functional enhancements in the target release
•
Extent of utilization of existing IT infrastructure (such as number of users)
With the help of SAP standard application benchmarks (results at
www.sap.com
/benchmark
), you can get a good estimate of CPU and memory consumption of
individual SAP ERP components. In any case, you should plan to conduct a
hardware requirements analysis. You should also contact your hardware vendor
to verify if your current hardware will support the upgrade.
To validate the sizing adjustment, SAP also offers the continuous quality check
for upgrades that prepares your system to operate with optimum efficiency in
the upgraded environment. This service usually consists of two phases:
•
I n the early phase of the upgrade, the service estimates the need for IT
infrastructure adjustments and provides a service plan with recommendations.
•
After the upgrade, the service supports you in achieving optimal use of your
system resources.
The continuous quality check for upgrade service is offered in the context of
SAP Enterprise Support, which includes additional services to review your IT
situation and support your upgrade. The SAP Safeguarding for Upgrades portfolio
of services includes additional services to provide tailored support for risk
mitigation and possible optimization.
