BENCHMARK REPORT Fujitsu Publishes the First SAP Three- Document TitleTier Benchmark on VMware vSphere™ Fully Virtualized Environment Supports 16,000 Users and Achieves an 87,800 SAPS Rating Fujitsu engineers designed and tested an SAP three-tier test made up of virtualized systems running on VMware vSphere™ 4.0 using the SAP SD Benchmark. The published results of this test highlight support of an impressive 16,000 users with a SAPS rating of 87,800. This shows that large numbers of SAP users can be supported in a virtual environment spread across many hosts while providing good performance. Using Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers with Intel Xeon 5500 series processors, only minimal vSphere tuning was needed to achieve these excellent benchmark results with a completely virtualized SAP landscape. This test result breaks new ground with the first three-tier SAP SD Benchmark certified on a virtualized environment. Additionally, the SuSE Enterprise Linux with MaxDB platform configuration shows that Linux can perform very well in a three-tier virtualized SAP environment.
