best option to install the windows component of the Sap business one

[former_member566843]

Hi I would like to ask which is the best option to install the windows component (like crystal reports and others) of the Sap business one .

I have purchased latest server Dell PowerEdge R640 with 192gb ram and Intel Xeon Silver 4114 2.2Ghz with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications (SLES FOR SAP)OPERATING SYSTEM I already have available old windows server which i had purchased before 6 years with following configuartion

Windows Server 2008 R2 STANDARD

INTEL XEON CPU E3-1220 V3@3.1GHZ

RAM 12 GB Is it better to install windows components of SAP business using vmware on the new DELL PER640 so we can take advantage of higher configuration on new server ?? or s hould we install it on the old windows server as it will be a separate hardware machine ??? (if needed i can make little update to the ram of the old server)

Hi Hussain,

In that case, I would recommend to go with the vmware option even more. Obviously the RAM and storage allocation recommendations wouldn't apply.

B1's Windows components hardware requirements are negligible, and you would get a simpler system landscape. Not to mention that any problem solving would not include the "is it a hardware issue?" step.
