HP and SAP Launch Big Data Solution Based on SAP HANA as a Service

HP presents the HP As-a-Service Solution for SAP HANA, designed for organizations to analyze big data and start using insights in real time, without the need for significant investment to assemble a broad analytical framework. 
 
The offering integrates the SAP HANA license with HP hardware and ongoing management into a complete solution, delivered as a service. This model allows customers to avoid capital expenditures and lower the total cost of ownership as they pay a monthly subscription fee to get the complete solution.
 
“Today's market pressures create the need for organizations to know in real time what is happening with them, their customers and even the competition to remain competitive. When HP and SAP innovate together, we raise the bar on what's possible for our customers by providing real-time insights,” said Jules Beck, vice president of enterprise application services, HP.
 
The new solution runs in an HP managed cloud environment, either as a virtual managed private cloud or as a managed private cloud within an enterprise-class HP data center facility. It is enabled by SAP certified HP AppSystem for SAP HANA. 
 
The new solution is also powered by the HP Migration Factory for SAP HANA to provide the best possible migration. The services ensure that HP will plan, migrate, validate, secure and deliver mission-critical customer data to the SAP HANA platform, in services performed under SAP-certified methodology and validated with HP's global SAP certifications.
 
"SAP is extremely focused on the technology needs and business challenges of our mutual customers, and with HP as our strategic partner, we are delivering integrated solutions that enable them to become well-run companies," said Eric Johnson, vice president. Senior President of Technology and Database Solutions at SAP.
