SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence 7.0. Second, 
UCC in Magdeburg is in charge of operating 
SAP large system environments with over 130 SAP 
systems – including maintenance and updates for 
SAP software and the associated HP IT infrastructure 
with all of its system software (databases, operating 
systems, etc.).
SAP infrastructure expert Zimmermann explains: 
“With us, customers receive everything from a 
single source for an attractive flat-rate fee. This is 
an arrangement that we can live with. If a company 
were to go it alone, the installation, operation and 
maintenance of a SAP environment coupled with 
license fees would cost several times more than what 
we can do it for. We make it possible for companies 
to concentrate on their core tasks in the field of 
research and development.”
It is also a given “that both institutions and users 
of SAP solutions profit in other ways. A technical 
college or university that provides students with 
an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with 
SAP environments will enjoy an advantage over 
institutions that do not. And graduates with  
extensive knowledge of SAP environments will 
also find greater opportunities on the employment 
market.”
Virtualised Application Services with… 
There is a good reason why one speaks of 
customers in conjunction with UCC in Magdeburg. 
The institution has taken upon itself to provide  
them with SAP applications as professional ASP 
services. Anything else would not be acceptable to 
the associated institutions and educational facilities. 
Professional employees are in charge of high-level 
system operations with a large number of services 
and defined service level agreements as well as 
software maintenance including updates. The UCC 
team is also responsible for the further development 
of the infrastructure and operating concepts. 
UCC is supported by SAP partners that provide the 
software licenses (including maintenance), training 
and the required services associated with the SAP 
University Alliance Programs and HP. HP supplies 
all of the hardware and performs software system 
management, back-up and restore. T-Systems is the 
operations partner.
The Competence Center in Magdeburg altered 
the direction of infrastructure development in order 
to handle the tremendous increase in the number 
of users on the basis of the defined Service Level 
Agreements (SLAs), to be able to execute important 
optimisation measures, and to be prepared to deal 
with future growth. In the middle of 2008, a new 
concept was developed for an Adaptive Computing 
infrastructure based on virtualised application 
services with new hardware and software 
components required for SAP system operation.
…SAP software and HP infrastructure components 
“We had already used principles of virtualisation 
and Adaptive Computing. But we were unable to 
optimise SAP growth management and IT load 
fluctuation management for future use. It was also 
necessary to consolidate and modernise our SAP 
IT infrastructure. Optimal and flexible resource 
“With us, customers receive everything 
from a single source for an attractive 
flat-rate fee. We make it possible for 
companies to concentrate on their 
core tasks in the field of research and 
development.”
