"The AMD/SAP relationship is driven by a mutual desire to provide customers straightforward technology solutions for complex business problems. Through our joint efforts, SAP customers can benefit from AMD’s leading-edge multi-core, 64-bit x86- based processor technology now and into the future, to assure that AMD-based servers and blades offer a viable platform for SAP deployment in data centers worldwide. AMD works in cooperation with its hardware partners to focus resources on the SAP development labs in Walldorf and elsewhere around the world to ensure that SAP technical teams have access to AMD processor technology and techncial resources. This knowledge, combined with AMD support helps the development community leverage AMD technology into SAP’s existing and future products. SAP is a critical technology partner in AMD’s software ecosystem, and the global support for AMD-based systems by SAP illustrates that we have a relationship based upon technical collaboration with a focus on customer choice. As our working relationship grows, AMD plans to continue working with SAP and its customers to highlight our joint success in providing scalable, reliable solutions to complex business problems on a global scale.
