How is the SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator packaged and delivered?

SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator is packaged as an appliance that runs the BIA functions within standard blade server systems equipped with Intel processors and built-in storage. Selected trusted hardware partners (Fujitsu Siemens, Hewlett Packard, IBM and SUN are the current hardware partners) deliver the preconfigured appliance to the customer site. The appliance must be cabled into the existing SAP NetWeaver BI infrastructure (running SAP NetWeaver BI 2004s or higher). Then, from within BI, a user sets the RFC connection, runs a few routine checks, and selects the InfoCubes to be accelerated. The BI accelerator runs on 64-bit SUSE Linux (SLES), but the rest of the customer’s SAP landscape can continue to run on any previously supported OS and hardware.
