On December 12th VMware and SAP announced a partnership that will support the SAP solutions on a VMWare Infrastructure. SAP will provide full support for its Windows and Linux based solutions.
"VMware Infrastructure has many benefits for hosted environments," said Benno Weidmann, vice president, hosting infrastructure management at SAP Hosting. "We've been able to automate internal business processes and increase service levels to internal customers. In addition, we have reduced costs with consolidation and automation of system deployment, as well as greatly reduced the required hardware for internal training and development systems. Altogether, virtualization helps us to lower costs, develop and automate user services, better manage hardware and software lifecycles, and improve production and capacity planning across a more unified infrastructure."

How does this impact VMware and SAP? It meets a growing demand for current or potential SAP clients to run virtualization software. This is a product enhancement that SAP competitors such as Oracle do not have. This is a competitive advantage for both VMware and SAP, especially since Oracle is working to launch virtualization software but hasn't been able to do so yet.
