Infotech Lead India: Cisco has introduced solutions for the SAP HANA platform built on the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS).
The Cisco UCS for SAP HANA solution allows customers to perform real-time data analytics and data warehousing in seconds, while laying the foundation to run SAP’s other core enterprise applications on SAP HANA in the future.
Leveraging Cisco UCS to power servers running SAP HANA, customers can utilize Cisco UCS’ 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.
