Torn between directions?

Fujitsu BestPlace - Data-Driven Cloud Advisor for SAP Workloads
Fujitsu BestPlace is cost optimized, customer centric and data-driven. The BestPlace service provides data-driven decision support on the challenge to identify the best-suitable operating environments for given SAP workloads. Based on your customer-specific requirements, existing constraints, measured workloads, resource demands, and cost estimations, a placement recommendation is provided for each assessed SAP system, identified by its SID.
For each possible solution, your individual requirements & data are merged into a scoring model. A genetic algorithm is used to find the solution with the highest score. The search space of possible target environments for each SID is formed by the variety of VMs and regions, provided by Microsoft Azure and, if applicable, the customer’s on-premises data center. To measure what is “best-suitable”, each potential solution is associated with a score that represents its fulfillment degree of customer requirements, constraints, and the resulting costs. Therefore, the challenge is to identify solutions which maximize the score.
Start by laying the right foundation
Cloud-like environment.
The hybrid cloud that scores every time
Fujitsu and NetApp ensure this harmony from a single source. This is also valid for all new applications on cloud, which can be deployed on any-premises and go global anytime – in some cases also SAP applications. Fujitsu and NetApp enable this adoption across edge-core-cloud: leading to faster time to market, with real-time customer experience, enabling you towards a leadership position.
Fujitsu, NetApp and SAP – three prominent names in the IT world. The first is a top global IT infrastructure provider, the second is a storage specialist recognized by Gartner as a leader in unified storage, and the third is a world market leader in enterprise software. All three have one thing in common: the high quality of their services, with which they help companies around the globe to stay on course for success in a world of dynamic change – and to make their IT lives easier.

Pay-as-you-go cloud.
One step ahead
You are presented with the challenge of having to add one or more replacement servers to your new IT infrastructure so that you can access additional computing or storage resources when you need them. This requires an up-front investment in servers that are often not used initially. The transparent Fujitsu uSCALE pay-per-use model provides you with scalable, on-demand IT resources that you can access when you have to respond quickly to increased or decreased demand. This means you can benefit from flexible, instantly scalable IT at an attractive price because, as with the cloud, you only pay for what you actually use.
