Multi-Tenancy with FlexFrame Pools

Pools are separated with VLAN technology

Each pool has a dedicated storage, server and client VLAN

Pools can be viewed as e.g. a customer or department

which do not share servers as common resource.

The control center supervises multiple pools. This gives

control over multiple customers or departments without the

need of multiple control nodes.

Customer benefits:

‒ more customers on one FlexFrame and still single

point of control and necessary security

‒ ideal for SAP hosting and service partners

‒ pools can also be used for cloning of SAP services

without SAP post-processing

‒ or to separate critical SAP services e.g. HR

PRIMEQUEST RAS feature: PPAR

Physical Partitioning (PPAR), provides multiple Physical Partition blocks in one cabinet

‒ A different OS can be operated in each partition

‒ The partitions can be configured flexibly by using flexible I/O and reserved SBs

‒ Multiple workloads can be operated in a single cabinet, supported thru

• Multiple servers operated as Physical Partition

• or extended Partition

‒ A failure in one partition, doesn’t affect the others
