SAP and Dell have collaborated to provide new cloud and in-memory computing offerings.
Through this collaboration, SAP applications will now be available for deployment via Dell’s VIS Next Generation Datacenter Platform, opening up new ways for customers to increase IT responsiveness and business efficiency, said Dell.
In addition, with Dell’s PowerEdge R910 now among the hardware platforms certified by SAP for running SAP In-Memory Computing technology, Dell customers can increase the availability and speed of business information, leading to insightful decision-making.
Dell is also now an SAP-certified provider of cloud services, and as an SAP-certified provider of hosting services, providing cloud-based delivery of SAP applications.
Running SAP applications on Dell cloud offerings help customers increase performance and efficiencies of scale without the overhead of traditional IT environments, said the company.
The combination of Dell’s PowerEdge R910 platform and SAP HANA allows users to conduct analytics, performance management and operations in a single system.
Dell Services also provides capabilities in support of SAP HANA, helping customers deploy SAP In-Memory Computing technology alongside the enterprise resource planning (ERP) application SAP ERP and SAP BusinessObjects analytic applications.
SAP global solutions president Sanjay Poonen said the announcement underscores their commitment to deliver enterprise applications via the cloud in cooperation with their leading partner ecosystem.
"Through this expanded cooperation with Dell, customers will benefit from our complementary cloud and in-memory offerings, enabling them to transform their businesses, flexibly and affordably," Poonen said.
