VCE offers a range of Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers within each Vblock
The table below shows a list of the most commonly used blades for SAP solutions
SAPS shown are for both bare metal blade and showing reduction due to virtualisation overhead
vCPU are mapped to threads, so effective SAPS/thread also show
Blade options with large memory configuration generally chosen as SAP is increasingly memory intensive
