Adaptive computing is a virtualization approach and decouples your SAP application instances from the underlying hardware, allowing you to dynamically assign resources. If a particular server doesn't fulfill an application's performance requirements, the Adaptive Computing Controller (ACC) 7.1 can quickly move the instance to a more powerful server. This article describes the adaptive computing landscape, shows you how to install ACC 7.1 on SAP NetWeaver, including configuring the ACC instance, reporting instances to the System Landscape Directory, and configuring the application services, so you can securely move a system from one server to another.
