The natural reaction in IT during an economic downturn is to retreat, cancel new initiatives and stop investment in technology and processes. But smart companies across industries are much more strategic, targeting areas that will not only see IT through a rough economy, but help it thrive during the downturn – and when business rebounds.
If your SAP application is mission-critical to your company, at the very least you cannot afford downtime, no matter the state of the economy. Your system environment and database should be able to continue growing. But your SAP application landscape is large and complex to manage. When resources are tight, where do you focus your efforts?
In most large companies, IBM System z®, DB2® for z/OS® and DS8000® play a central and increasing role in IT infrastructures. Join IBM for this complimentary teleconference to learn how to maximize your SAP and DB2 investment to thrive in turbulent times. You’ll see how the unique integration between System z, DB2 for z/OS, DS8000 and SAP can support your most mission-critical enterprise applications with scalability, availability, and businesses resilience. We’ll share with you how DB2 9 for z/OS continues driving more value for SAP environments, and how companies are leveraging these technical advantages to keep up with increasing demands on the IT infrastructure. The result is savings in costs and resources, and a more resilient IT.
In this teleconference, we’ll discuss these solutions and how:
- DB2 for z/OS delivers parallel database technology to ensure it is always on
- System z fully supports the SAP landscape as a virtualized, secure and scalable host
- DS8000 offers a tightly integrated disk system for nondisruptive DB2 backup and recovery for SAP based on embedded FlashCopy
Speakers: Johannes Schuetzner, Senior Consultant - SAP on System z, IBM System z Technology Center for SAP Applications, and Andreas R Mueller, Senior Consultant - SAP on System z, IBM SAP International Competence Center
