Expanding its deep technology partnership with SAP, IBM has announced a series of Power Systems Solution Editions for the SAP HANA platform. The new solutions are expected to enable the latest generation POWER8 systems to run SAP HANA, allowing clients to quickly and cost-efficiently deploy the technology on a server platform built specifically to handle today's greatest data challenges.
"The commodity servers used today by many organizations are increasingly stretched to their limits by new workloads, in the cloud or on premises," said Doug Balog, General Manager of IBM Power Systems. "IBM's Power Systems’ architecture is uniquely suited to provide faster access to critical business data stored with in-memory database technologies. New IBM Power System Solution Editions for SAP HANA are tailored to deliver enterprise-class capabilities to clients' growing core systems reliability expectations."
The introduction of solutions that leverage SAP HANA with IBM Power Systems offers important benefits to enterprise clients of all types, particularly customers running SUSE Linux Enterprise, to further maximize the value of their investments in solutions from IBM and SAP, observed Michael Miller, SUSE Vice President of Global Alliances and Marketing. "Partnering with IBM and SAP to bring SAP HANA to IBM Power Systems allows us to help thousands of mutual clients increase performance, reduce costs and improve their business practices.”
