Abstract
SAP
®
R/3™ and its components have been the success of more than 19,000
installations in enterprises of every size in more than 106 countries worldwide. The SAP
R/3 system is an open, integrated system that covers all business applications including
accounting and controlling, production and materials management, quality management
and plant maintenance, sales and distribution, human resources and project
management. The mySAP.com™ e-business platform is a suite of solutions and
services that
empower employees, customers, and business partners to collaborate
successfully - anywhere, anytime.
IBM DB2 Universal Database
™ (UDB) is the industry’s first multimedia, Web-ready
relational database management system, strong enough to meet the demands of large
corporations and flexible enough to serve medium-sized and small e-businesses. DB2
Universal Database combines integrated power for business intelligence, content
management, and e-business with industry-leading performance and reliability and is
thus ideally suited as the database system for SAP R/3 and mySAP.com.
This coupled with the FlashCopy

feature of the IBM Enterprise Storage Server

enables high availability solutions, like the creation of clone SAP R/3 systems, standby
databases and system backups with nearly no performance impact and zero downtime.
