SAP solution: linux

Many SAP customers are faced with the challenge of operating their NetWeaver-based applications efficiently and securely. This requires an optimized infrastructure that helps ensure performance, scalability, and security on-prem as well as in cloud or hybrid environments.
Many SAP users stop halfway through automation. The potential of tools such as Ansible and end-to-end automation remains untapped—and with it the opportunity to combine migration with modern future-proofing.
Salesforce is migrating more than 200,000 systems from CentOS Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, building on their Linux platform to streamline IT operations and enhance customer experience.
Linux, as an open source operating system, has been present in the SAP community for about 20 years. But open source is much more. In recent years, the scene has evolved rapidly, and with IBM's acquisition of Red Hat, the topic of "open source" received its B2B accolade.
The silo security of a traditional SAP environment is reaching its limits in an era of increasing interconnection between SAP and non-SAP systems. Does this lead to sacrifices for the security of a process landscape?
SAP users are caught between the conflicting priorities of migration and innovation. Migration projects with lift-and-shift procedures often dominate at first, and innovation falls by the wayside. But there is a better way.
The Advisory Board will influence the direction of the Linux Foundation Europe and its more than 100 members.
The main finding at the DSAG Technology Days Conference was that users are still experiencing uncertainty regarding necessary modernization. Time is pressing; after all, the 2027 deadline has once again been confirmed.
It is no longer possible to imagine B2B software without open source. SAP's existing customers are looking at solutions from this area, and not just because of the Linux/Hana combination. But is SAP itself making sufficient use of the open source potential?
Open source stands for innovation. It is also an integral part of the SAP world. Almost every player in the SAP ecosystem—be it a partner, an independent software vendor or an add-on manufacturer—is therefore embracing open source.
When the best ideas win, losing becomes impossible. Open source has become the standard in many companies. This triumphant advance not only represents a technological change, but is also associated with cultural change.
63 billion threats were blocked by Trend Micro in the first half of 2022 - and the attacks aren't getting any less.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.
