SAP and Hitachi Data Systems share many of their largest and most high-profile customers – in every major Geography and Market around the world. The Hitachi Companies have numerous partnerships with SAP ranging from the sale, integration and implementation of SAP solutions. Hitachi Data Systems and SAP work together to certify integrated offerings that provide our mutual customers with industry-leading availability, scalability and performance for their critical corporate information.
Hitachi has numerous SAP-certified solutions and integrations including SAP HANA, Hitachi Content Platform with SAP ILM (Information Lifecycle Management), and Hitachi Split Mirror Replication Manager. Hitachi offers solutions for SAP that comprise server, networking and storage in a single platform.
The newly certified Hitachi Converged Platform for SAP HANA helps organizations manage and analyze massive volumes of critical data with Hitachi's single, virtualized and scalable storage and data management infrastructure. Hitachi Converged Platform for SAP HANA combines Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS) 2000 enterprise class storage and Hitachi Compute Blade 2000 with SAP in-memory computing technology for a broad range of high-speed analytic capabilities. SAP's virtualization strategy spreads workloads across three tiers of client, application and database, which enables extended growth and flexibility.
Hitachi Converged Platform for SAP HANA is the newest addition to the Hitachi Data Systems portfolio of converged data center solutions that combine and optimize enterprise class storage systems and compute blades from Hitachi as well as standard network infrastructure components for a broad range of applications and cloud environments. Through quicker deployment, automation and scalability, the new solutions help organizations adopt cloud at their own pace and see predictable results with faster time to value.
About Hitachi Converged Platform for SAP HANA
Customers can now easily employ the Hitachi Content Platform for use with the information lifecycle management (ILM) solution from SAP to ensure end-to-end enforcement of data retention policies to better meet compliance requirements, while lowering operating costs.
In close alignment with its services oriented approach to storage, Hitachi Data Systems is providing the only multi-tier storage solution which allows customers to store and manage their active and archived data using a common and integrated platform that enables existing storage infrastructure and investments to be leveraged, and greatly reduces management and operational costs. To learn more:
Unlike other solutions which have a proprietary interface or require a third-party connector, the Hitachi Content Platform supports open standard protocols including WebDAV, HTTP, NFS, and CIFS, which makes integration for partners such as SAP simple, contributes to lower upfront costs, and also eases support burdens.
In addition to direct support for the new SAP ILM module, Hitachi Data Systems also works closely with other software partners to provide robust SAP archiving solutions. One example is Open Text, which enables archiving of unstructured SAP application data via its LiveLink Enterprise Archive (LEA) solution. Together with HCAP, OpenText provides an open, highly scalable active archive solution for both structured and unstructured SAP application data. To learn more:
Hitachi Data Systems will continue to act upon customer feedback as input to establish new opportunities for integration and unique value for our customers.
