Before SAP software is installed SAP environment must be planned.
The process of planning the environment is called "sizing".
Following decisions must be made:
How many installations would be there in the landscape (see next article).
How many application servers (middle tier) will be deployed to share the load.
What SAP components will be deployed.
How the components will be they deployed.
What would be the size of the database and hence the disk capacity of the database server.
How scalable the system needs to be (How fast the company will grow).
What would be the disaster recovery plan.
What should be the availability of the system. (Time when system is not down).
What kind of performance is acceptable specially when workload is high (month-end processes).
The above questions are answered by IT department working closely with SAP's implementation consultants (integrator) and the hardware partners.
The design process should start early.
Business should be engaged as quickly as possible to gather requirements.
Then SAP integrator and hardware partners should translate these requirements into sizing recommendations.
