SUMMARY

The SAP Sales and Distribution benchmark, a key measure of real-world enterprise performance, simulates the maximum number of concurrent users that a system can handle while maintaining acceptable response times.

The SAP Sales and Distribution benchmark is one of the most CPU-consuming benchmarks in the industry, and has become the standard for SAP operating environment partners. The benchmark test includes eighteen steps that reflect a defined set of business transactions.

The SAP R/3 system uses a client/server architecture with database, application, and presentation layers. The configuration for this test is three-tier, and the layers run on separate systems.
