Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions
The Sun N1 SPS 5.2.1 release includes the Sun N1 Advanced Architecture (Sun N1 AA) for SAP Solutions software, a series of modules for installing and administering complex SAP environments. With the Sun N1 AA software, IT operators can deploy, provision, manage, and change pools of resources and application services, and analyze the environment, all from a single Web browser interface. Sun N1 AA software delivers more business flexibility through virtualization, application and resource provisioning, monitoring, and central management.
The Sun N1 AA software includes the following modules.
-
N1 AA Manager – This module provides the central GUI, a Java-based Web browser interface. This includes the base components for customization, maintenance, and administration that are not directly associated with one of the functional modules.
-
N1 AA Analyzer – This module enables you to monitor and manage the CPU and memory usage in your environment. The N1 AA Analyzer continually monitors, collects, and displays CPU and memory utilization data on all of the servers and applications in the environment, including applications other than SAP. Once data is collected, the Analyzer provides reports on capacity planing and a graphical illustration of resource consumption.
-
N1 AA Builder – The N1 AA Builder is designed to quickly provision operating systems on to bare-metal servers included in your SAP environment. The pre-built models within the N1 AA Builder enable IT operators to build, configure, and update multi-tier application service models for many data center applications. This includes models for the operating systems, patches, and client software, all from a single GUI. The models are stored and centrally administered. The models can be configured for different environments.
-
N1 AA Deployer – N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions is a key extension of the N1 Service Provisioning System, leveraging the core provisioning and management capabilities to provide sophisticated customization specific to the SAP applications and business processes. The N1 AA Deployer module is the controller for your application services. The N1 AA Deployer enables you to start, stop, and relocate applications in a virtualized environment. This includes applications that are driven in a Sun Cluster or SAP Adaptive Computing environment. For SAP systems, the N1 AA Deployer enables you to install new SAP Application Instances or remove existing ones.
