Advantages of the SAP Content Server 

·         The SAP Content Server provides a flexible and scalable architecture. You can improve the capacity and performance of the SAP Content Server 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 Database Instance version is independent of the SAP release. The database version 7.2 is included in the SAP release 4.6C package. This database version has a capacity of 64 terabytes. In the unlikely event of this space being used up, another database instance can be installed.

·         Database administration tools, which are easy to use, are delivered with it. 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.
