Isilon and SAP
What would be your opinion on using Isilon as the sole platform for (large) SAP environments?
Especially with regards to using application aware snapshot technology for backup.

By introducing Isilon as a Common shareable and scalable repository that is also media durable. You can offload the primary structured data platform, moving these data types to a right sized platform that eliminates much of management and migration costs. Lowering Storage administration cost by more than 75%. These data types lend themselves to tiering as most of this data is stored once and seldom referenced, so an aggressive downward tier strategy can be deployed lowering acquisition costs by more than 50%.

Hi Dagmar,
By using industry accepted archiving tool like Documentum or OpenText in combination with NearLine media like NL-SAS drives in the Isilon. A Customer can avoid the cost and complexity of traditional archiving solutions. Since this data is more rapidly accessible, a more aggressive archive policy can be implied.
Additionally most of this data does not require the data replication provided by enterprise class platforms like Symmetrix. Moving this data to Isilon allows a right sizing of this replication needs. The Isilon replication facilitates the replication of the archive at an acceptable cost level.
