Our Linux & SAP Deployment Process
1. Assessment & Planning
We begin every engagement with a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure, ERP requirements, and business objectives. Our engineers review your SAP sizing reports, application architecture, and compliance requirements to design the optimal Linux environment for your workload. This includes selecting the right distribution, version, and configuration parameters aligned with SAP and vendor best practices.
2. Architecture & Design
Based on the assessment, we create a detailed deployment architecture covering server specifications, storage layout (including LVM for SAP), network topology, high-availability design, and backup strategy. For cloud deployments on AWS or Azure, this includes VPC/VNet design, instance type selection, and cost modeling. Every design document is reviewed and approved before implementation begins.
3. Installation & Configuration
Our certified engineers execute the deployment following SAP installation guides and vendor-recommended procedures. This covers base OS installation, kernel parameter tuning, filesystem creation, user and group setup, security hardening, and application-specific configurations. For SAP environments, we implement all required SAP Notes and pre-installation checks to ensure a smooth SAP installer run.
4. Testing & Validation
Every deployment undergoes rigorous testing including OS stability checks, storage performance validation (HCMT for SAP HANA), network connectivity verification, backup and restore testing, and high-availability failover drills. We document all test results and remediate any findings before handover.
5. Handover & Ongoing Support
We provide comprehensive documentation, knowledge transfer sessions, and a defined support model. Our ongoing managed support includes proactive monitoring, patch management, incident response, and periodic health checks to keep your Linux and SAP infrastructure running at peak performance.
