HP Throws Switch on Utility System for SAP

A new package of hardware, software and services from Hewlett-Packard is intended to bring utility-computing capabilities to businesses using SAP applications.

The set of technologies, dubbed HP's Virtualized Infrastructure Solutions (VIS) for MySAP Business Suite, is designed to let organizations more easily assign computing power to different tasks as needed. For instance, a customer using SAP's financial software with the HP system could allocate a greater amount of processing power to those applications when they are working on more complex analysis, rather than simply completing everyday jobs.
