h2. Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions (Sun N1AA)
With the Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions, IT operators can deploy, provision, manage, and change pools of resources and application services, and analyze the environment, all from a single Web Browser interface. Sun N1AA delivers more business flexibility through virtualization, application and resource provisioning, monitoring, and central management.
Sun N1AA consists of the central core module, the N1AA Manager, and three functional modules:
* N1AA Analyzer
* N1AA Builder
* N1AA Deployer
h3. N1AA Manager
The N1AA Manager provides the central GUI, a Java technology-basedWeb browser interface. This includes the base components for customization, maintenance, and administration that are not directly associated with one of the functional modules. It also provides a Command Line Interface to control all actions from command line instead of using the GUI.

h3. N1AA Analyzer
In a systems environment, information on the current utilization of resources is the starting point for making smarter decisions. The N1AA Analyzer continually monitors, collects, and displays CPU and memory utilization data on all of the servers and applications in the environment. This also includes applications other than SAP. Once data is collected, the Analyzer provides reports on capacity planing and graphical illustration of resource consumption.

h3. N1AA Deployer
The Deployer is the controller for your application services. The Deployer enables you to start, stop, monitor and relocate applications in a virtualized environment. This also includes applications that are driven in a Sun Cluster or SAP Adaptive Computing environment. For SAP systems, it enables you to install new SAP Application Instances or remove existing ones - just by a few clicks in the GUI.

h3. The N1AA Builder
The N1AA Builder is designed for OS provisioning to quickly provision servers into an SAP environment from a bare metal state. The pre-built models within the Builder enable IT operators to build, configure, and update multi-tier application service models for many data center applications. This includes models for the operating systems, patches, and client software, all from a single GUI. The models are stored and centrally administered. The models can be configured for different environments.
