Hard is an essential component of a SAP system.
Hardware consists of:
Servers (middle tier and database tier computers)
Disk Storage System
Network Gear (routers, switches etc)
Take Backup Units
All of these components work together to create a healthy system.
Failure of even one component could halt the whole system, costing the company millions of dollars.
All kind of systems are available in SAP hardware marketplace, from small and medium user platforms to large and highly resilient platforms.
Some large platforms are also capable of scale on the fly to meet the changing needs.
When making an hardware purchase decision, solutions from different vendors should be compared.
Most solutions cannot be compared as apples to apples.
E.g. one solution could support the same workload as the other system but the level of scalability, availability, and reliability offered by the two systems could differ considerably.
Spending little more money upfront could save the company tons of dollars on monthly maintenance and downtime costs.
