implementation, and operation. This expertise extends right across
the SAP landscape: from enterprise resource planning (ERP) and
Supply Chain Management, through to Customer Relationship
Management, and Warehouse Management System applications.
Novis is the first company in Chile to launch a cost‑effective,
on‑demand enterprise resource planning (ERP)‑as a‑service, via
a cloud service, to its customers. The success of ERP‑as‑a‑
service has placed new demands on its data center, not just in
terms of improving availability and response time, but also for
ensuring accurate metering of usage and space consumption.

By deploying the latest virtualization and cloud innovations Novis
intended to bring services to market faster and more efficiently.
Key requirements included finding a new infrastructure capable
of hosting systems for over 200,000 SAPS (the equivalent of
36,600 standard SAP users) and scaling to more than five times
this number without adding complexity.

Novis has a highly efficient engineer team, so reducing
provisioning time, points of management, and troubleshooting
was especially important. Other key considerations included
lowering total cost of ownership by reducing cabling costs and
increasing server utilization.

To deliver these improved and new services, Novis needed to
replace its existing server environment with one that enabled
high levels of automation and integration. This capability would
need to include running different operating systems, such as
Windows and Linux, alongside each other on the same blade,
in turn providing consolidation of servers and infrastructure.

Novis has made the transformation using an architectural

framework. The solution, comprised of a Cisco Unified
Computing System™ (UCS), Cisco Nexus® 5000 Series
Switches, and Cisco Advanced Services, will enable the
company to fully maximize profitable growth in a number of
ways. UCS also provided Novis with the best option in terms
of ensuring integration with its existing NetApp storage.

To help ensure the optimal implementation strategy, Novis
purchased the Cisco Unified Computing Accelerated Deployment
Service. This package of support services included use case,
design, and knowledge transfer workshops; configuration
validation; migration support; and the development and
execution of a system test plan.

UCS has already made a positive impact. New extended memory
capabilities allow more SAP applications to be hosted per blade,
saving money on hardware, space, power, and cooling.

has simplified operations and accelerated
time‑to‑market. When provisioning new services,
rather than having to create separate VLANs each
time on the switch, VMware, router, and firewall, the UCS allows
a template to be built and pointed to the new blade. The device
then automatically gets the information that it needs from the
SAN and configures itself.

The Cisco Nexus 5000 has created a low‑latency, lossless 10 GB
Ethernet unified fabric, resulting in any‑to‑any storage (network‑
attached storage, Small Computer System Interface over IP, and
Fibre Channel over Ethernet can all travel on the same cable) and
even less cabling, components, and points of management.
