Avantra, the leading AIOPs platform for SAP automation operations, has released a new guide to help customers automate their SAP infrastructure to reduce performance issues and avoid costly downtime.

In addition, the target size for the SAP system in the on-prem deployment is configured for occasional workload spikes. The result is an increase in TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) – even though end users are not using the full system capacity, they still have to pay for all allocated resources.
