Adaptive Computing n Adaptive Computing is a new approach to design hardware, software and system services following the business-driven need to permanent change and adaptability n It is about empowering the customer to be able to run any service any time on any server. In this context the word application service is used to describe any kind of scenario, solution or application component n A computing infrastructure is called adaptive, if it allows the dynamic assignment of hardware resources to serve specific application services. In this way, SAP Net. Weaver enables an 'Adaptive Computing Infrastructure' and thus ensures that business solutions based on SAP Net. Weaver run at peak cost efficiency ã SAP AG 2004, Adaptive Computing, Technical Overview, 01 -Dec-2004 / slide 4
