ORLANDO, Fla. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 17, 2011 — Dell today announced its PowerEdge R910 platform has been certified by SAP AG to run SAP® In-Memory Appliance software (SAP HANA™), bringing real-time computing to joint customers around the world. Offering customers a powerful and flexible way to query and analyze large volumes of data with great speed, Dell customers running SAP HANA on PowerEdge R910 servers can gain real-time access to information and analytics to best address rapidly evolving market environments. The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® NOW, being held in Orlando, Fla., May 15-18, 2011.
Through accelerated access to operational and external data, SAP HANA analytics can allow organizations to better access and use databases that contain exponentially growing amounts of records and stored data. Utilizing this information in real-time enables organizations to make more informed planning and forecasting decisions.
SAP HANA utilizes SAP In-Memory Computing technology, which is designed to boost performance by storing processed data in the system’s Random-Access Memory (RAM) rather than in disks. The data source agnostic in-memory appliance helps customers analyze their transactional and analytical data from virtually any data source. Dell will use SAP HANA to help customers more effectively process operational data while simultaneously helping to reduce overall IT costs.
Additionally, Dell has received an updated certification of its M610 platform for delivery of SAP NetWeaver® Business Warehouse Accelerator (SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator) software utilizing Dell’s newest platforms. With its updated SAP certification, Dell can help customers improve query performance and lower operation costs for SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator software. Business users can benefit from immediate access to information using in-memory data compression and sophisticated data partitioning delivered on dedicated servers from Dell. Additionally, SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator can help customers preserve capital investment by complementing existing hardware and software, and reduce load times by eliminating adjustments and change runs.
