• Rapid Cloning of SAP with the option to change Host and SAP SID
• Boundary free mobility of SAP systems across any physical, virtual, datacenter or cloud environment.

• "Zero to SAP in 32 minutes," is a video that demonstrates the live installation of All-In-One on a Windows server with a SQL server backend. Total elapsed time is 32 minutes from beginning to live application, down from a customer's previous estimate of between 30-80 hours. By cutting out any wait time, the video itself is 8 minutes.

• "Move SAP to the Cloud in 3 Easy Steps," is a joint webcast from AppZero, GoGrid, and CCI (an SAP professional services firm now known as HiLn). This webcast shows how to reduce the number of steps required to install an SAP application from 41 to 3 and discusses uses such as cloud provisioning for disaster recovery, workflow spikes, and sandboxes for development, test, and training.

With AppZero for SAP, a full SAP-ECC6 ERP suite can be provisioned, cloned, and moved to a pay-as-you go cloud environment for further configuration and development all within a matter of minutes. From there, with AppZero's isolation and mobility features, it can be readily delivered to a customer's test lab for user acceptance. Should more development be required, it's no longer necessary to install from scratch. Instead, simply provision a new VAA and the project moves forward with zero wait time.

The boundary-free nature of VAAs - enabling them to work identically in a physical, virtual, or cloud environment - eliminates infrastructure bottlenecks that so often plague such large scale projects and cause costs to spiral out of control. The instantaneous provisioning of sandboxes and prototypes in any environment - eliminates labor bottlenecks - enabling Basis consultants to support rapid innovation - not repetitive and costly, low value-add installation activities. This creates a greater set of opportunities for the enterprise to maximize its significant investment in these application suites. In the end - the business value of IT is all about the App. With AppZero for SAP - every aspect of the application life cycle is speedier, more flexible and less costly.
