4 Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Applications All software needed to deploy SAP applications on Linux Critical features engineered for SAP applications Integrated Java JDK required by SAP Legacy SAP locales to migrate to Unicode Localization packages to migrate data from UNIX to Linux Unicode High Availability and Resilient Storage add-ons, supports failover of SAP applications Fully certified virtualization hypervisor (KVM) and unlimited guests SAP applications monitor hardware from guests Innovate and respond to demands quickly at minimal cost Pre-bundled SKU easier to order/deploy Integrated Red Hat and SAP support 4

5 Agility Matters SAP Environments are Moving to Virtualization 61% 90% SAP customers believe using virtualization will increase compute utilization Cloud & Virtualization TOP 2 technology priorities for 2011** SAP customers use virtualization in test/development Go to the next level isolate SAP components: business connector, pricing, development systems, ERP production, etc. * RAAD Research Study, ** Gartner EXP, January

6 Agility Matters Cost-Effective Virtualization for Better Utilization and Flexibility Virtualization integrated into Red Hat Enterprise Linux, reduces licensing for 3rd-party virtual machine Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and KVM certified for SAP Business Applications and SAP NetWeaver Red Hat participates in SAP yearly virtualization workshop and at SAP LinuxLab and Virtualization Week Founding members of SAP's Cloud Management and Orchestration Consortium 6

Alongside the upgrade to SAP Business Suite 7 and the SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0, a number of additional, necessary updates were implemented. Business changes constantly, for example, Unicode and the use of the new general ledger are now common practice for SAP customers across all industries, and the SAP standard application benchmarks need to reflect this change. The updates are transparent; that is, the steps of the benchmark scenario remain unchanged. Please be aware that these changes make the SD benchmark more resource-intensive, which has a direct impact on the benchmark results. 7
