Cisco introduced a full suite of solutions for the SAP HANA® platform built on the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®). The Cisco UCS family of servers for SAP HANA allows customers to experience benefits – real-time data analytics and data warehousing – in seconds instead of hours, while laying the foundation to run SAP’s other core enterprise applications on SAP HANA in the future.
In selecting Cisco UCS to power servers running SAP HANA, customers can utilize the advanced capabilities of the Cisco UCS platform, including unified fabric, hardware abstraction and central management, to lower operational costs at the system level. SAP’s in-memory computing technology, coupled with Cisco UCS, provides customers with solutions that have been architected to provide high-availability and multisite disaster tolerance, both of which are vital for mission-critical adoption.
Cisco’s portfolio of solutions for SAP HANA meets the needs of early adopters testing SAP HANA for the first time, as well as experienced customers managing large-scale deployments.
All-in-one rack mount solutions: The Cisco UCS portfolio for SAP HANA includes extra-small, small and medium-sized rack-mount solutions that support up to one-half terabyte (TB) of compressed user data. Each of these fits inside a single Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Mount Server with internal storage.
