Hi,
We are just planning to go for SAP. Vendors suggesting Blade servers on IBM and HP.
BOM
1 . Production : Linux -> Db2 - > SAP application
2. Cluster for Production
3. QA/ Development -> Linux
4. Backup server - > Linux
5. BI/BO - win 2008 for prod and Dev.
6. Storage
7 IT manage servers 2
Linux : Suse Linux
aprox. initial licenses are 75 can increase to 200 next 3 years.
Question : Hardware partners are conflicting each other on RAC and Blade S technology on the above combination when implementing cluster on production when blade is considered.
