SAP Virtualization Week – April 7-10 in Palo Alto!

I’m not sure how many SAP admins know about our Virtualization for SAP Solutions blog yet. Today Joachim posted about this — the deadline to sign up is March 16! Link: SAP Virtualization Week – April 7-10 in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab in Palo Alto!.

If you haven’t yet, please have a look at SAP’s announcement of the SAP Virtualization Week  April 7-10!  …

VMware will have two sessions. The first, presented together with HP,
provides a lot of great information resulting from an ‘SAP on VMware’
workload characterization study with HP. Test scenarios cover multi
2-tier and 3-tier scenarios of ECC 6.0 on NUMA and UMA based HP X86-64
ProLiant servers with results demonstrating scalability, ESX NUMA
optimization and performance improvements from ESX 3.0.2 to ESX 3.5.
Really good stuff.

In our second presentation, we will discuss service automation provided
by VMware technologies. Very specifically, with NetApp as co-presenter,
we will talk about disaster recovery facilitated by the upcoming VMware
Site Recovery Manager, which will simplify protection against disasters
by leveraging and extending the VMware virtualization framework.

Spread the word – although I think this event looks more sysadmin-oriented, I think in general VMware has something to say to SAP application admins as well. I wonder if there is a crossover audience of people who spend time both here at VMware Communities as well as at the SAP Developer Network? (There is a bit of activity and a few virtual appliances, but looks like they’re mostly using the hosted tools.) And if there isn’t, should there be?
