With shared OS only one copy of an operating system has to be maintained
for a complete SAP environment reducing maintenance efforts significantly

9. Multi-Tenancy with FlexFrame Pools
 Pools are separated with VLAN technology
 Each pool has a dedicated storage, server and client VLAN
 Pools can be viewed as e.g. a customer or department
which do not share servers as common resource.
 The control center supervises multiple pools. This gives
control over multiple customers or departments without the
need of multiple control nodes.
 Customer benefits:
‒ more customers on one FlexFrame and still single
point of control and necessary security
‒ ideal for SAP hosting and service partners
‒ pools can also be used for cloning of SAP services
without SAP post-processing
‒ or to separate critical SAP services e.g. HR

17. PRIMEQUEST RAS feature: PPAR
 Physical Partitioning (PPAR),
provides multiple Physical Partition
blocks in one cabinet
‒ A different OS can be operated in each
partition
‒ The partitions can be configured flexibly by
using flexible I/O and reserved SBs
‒ Multiple workloads can be operated in a
single cabinet, supported thru
• Multiple servers operated as Physical Partition
• or extended Partition
‒ A failure in one partition, doesn’t affect the
others
