The SAP Content Server provides a flexible and scalable architecture. You can enhance the capacity and performance of the SAP Content Server even further by using a number of servers and by decoupling the database server from the HTTP server.
The database is much better suited than a file system to the administration of large amounts of data. Internally at SAP, the SAP Content Server has been used for several release cycles to administrate all documentation and training content.
The SAP DB version is independent of the SAP release. SAP DB version 7.2 is included in the SAP release 4.6C package. This version of the SAP DB has a capacity of 64 terabytes (maximum). In the unlikely event of this space being used up, another database can be installed.
Easy-to-use and stable SAP DB administration tools are shipped with the SAP Content Server. These can be used to make automatic backups, for example.
The interface, which is based on the HTTP protocol, decouples the storage systems involved. Several well-known providers of storage systems have successfully implemented the certification procedure.
