SAP AG Deploys SPECTRUM(R) Integrity(TM) Aprisma Solution Delivers
24x7 Network Performance Management, Guaranteeing Voice and Data
Reliability for SAP's Global Backbone PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Feb. 7
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aprisma Management Technologies, Inc., a
Gores Technology Group, LLC Company, today announced that SAP AG,
the world's leading provider of business software solutions, has
deployed Aprisma's SPECTRUM(R) Integrity(TM) as the primary 24x7
performance management platform for its global operations backbone.
SPECTRUM's root cause analysis technology helps guarantee essential
voice and data for approximately 30,000 employees in 150 branch
offices, data centers in the Americas, and the corporate
headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. (Logo:

on SPECTRUM to improve global LAN and WAN backbone operations,"
said Horst Walter with the Network Operations Team at SAP's
Walldorf headquarters. "SPECTRUM Integrity delivers proactive
notification of pending problems, and is our primary source for
actionable information. It makes our jobs easier and gives us added
confidence in our ability to meet the needs of our business units."
SAP leverages several advanced SPECTRUM applications to provide
around- the-clock management capabilities across its multi-vendor,
multi-technology network -- supporting Siemens voice over IP (VoIP)
devices, high-speed VPN links, SAP(R) software solutions, and daily
backups between remote data centers. Routers and switches support a
variety of technologies, including Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11
wireless, ATM, and Frame Relay. SPECTRUM Alarm Notification Manager
forwards device alarms to SAP's network operations team via cell
phones and pagers 24-hours-a-day, while SPECTRUM Watch Editor
closely monitors bandwidth usage statistics across the WAN. "The
SPECTRUM platform has further empowered us to play a proactive role
with our service providers," continued Walter. "SAP uses redundant
WAN links to connect important remote offices back into the
corporate data centers. Before deploying SPECTRUM Integrity, we had
no sufficient visibility into the WAN and no warning that it was
experiencing stress until our users called to report performance
problems. With SPECTRUM, we've noticed a significant decrease in
mean time to repair (MTTR)." SAP plans to make heavy use of the
OneClick(TM) web interface and reporting solutions. "OneClick's
Service Views give our business units a customized view into their
specific network services," Walter stated. "We are looking forward
to the asset, availability, and utilization reports that will
detail information by geography and business function." Commenting
on Aprisma's technical support and development staff, Walter
concluded, "We appreciate Aprisma's open information policies, and
have always received fast and competent answers. The online users
forums enable a valuable exchange of technical tips. Fortunately,
we haven't required much in the line of professional services
consulting to be successful with SPECTRUM Integrity. However, we
know we can always receive help when needed." About SAP SAP is the
