I am interested in finding out best practices, recommendations and documentation for running SAP ERP, CRM, DW, BOBJ on VMware.  Does anyone have any links or recommended documents that accomplish this?

Hi Brian,

it pretty much runs 'as usual'. VMware, like any other virtualisation approach is standard technology. VMware is an SAP partner and you will find a bunch of specific information on their web page.

Oliver,

Thanks for your reply.  Typically all manufacturers I am familiar with that approve their software being run on virtual environments have best practices and standards as to how the virtual environment should be set.  For example, SAP may not want CRM and ERP to be on the same blade, etc.  There should be some sort of design guides......

Hi Brian,

what I understand is that your question goes way beyond the usage of VMware or not, but is also related to  hardware sizing, distribution and virtualization. Typically these questions become important for productive systems. As the answers are very specific and change with the latest technology innovations it's not that simple. You would not have to raise the topic if it were

So to find the right answer, please first have a look into the Quicksizer tool on service marketplace http://service.sap.com/quicksizer. There you also find a link to partners that can help you to understand what the results mean wrt hardware https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000417772009E.

Depending on your requirements the question might not be, if you can put CRM and ERP on the same blade, but maybe how many blades you need to run your ERP and how many for your CRM.

I hope this helps?
