Servers and systems Software Data storage Networking HPE Pointnext Storage for SAP
A comprehensive portfolio of primary storage and data protection solutions for SAP, an integral part of your complete SAP/SAP HANA infrastructure.
The right storage is key to SAP HANA success
Storage is an essential part of SAP HANA infrastructure, and to meet the needs of SAP HANA, storage needs to be performant, and highly available and scalable. All-flash storage is the right way to go. Old school media can’t match its performance, efficiency, or TCO.
Storage for both SAP and SAP HANA
You should choose storage that can be used for SAP and SAP HANA to protect your investments. Make sure that the storage infrastructure you choose for your traditional SAP environments can be moved to SAP HANA.
Choose the leader in SAP and SAP HANA
Don’t go piecemeal. HPE has an unmatched portfolio of HANA storage solutions. Don’t go with fly-by-nights. HPE has deployed SAP solutions for three decades and SAP HANA solutions for seven years, since first availability. We have installed more of SAP and SAP HANA than anyone else in the industry. And we have the best all-flash storage platform certified for HANA.1 Choose the most comprensive portfolio and the unmatched SAP HANA experience of HPE to make your transition successful.
Performance
Storage has to keep up. Meet the performance objectives for your entire HANA infrastructure environment with highly performant all-flash storage for SAP HANA.
Availability
Meet your SAP availability objectives. Our all-flash storage offers excellent availability for SAP HANA: HPE Nimble and HPE 3PAR arrays offer six nines availability, and HPE XP7 storage offers 100% data availability or seven nines availability.
Efficiency
Get performance, scalability, and availability at a competitive TCO. 3PAR all-flash is the most efficient all-flash storage for SAP HANA.1
All-flash architecture
All-flash is the right storage infrastructure for HANA: it offers the high bandwidth and low latency to service a very wide range of IO, including the write-dominated, large IO patterns of SAP HANA. This helps to meet SAP HANA performance KPIs with a fraction of resources, reducing drive count, footprint, power and cooling.
Key components of SAP storage
Primary storage
All-flash storage is the right technology to meet the performance, availability, and scalability needs of SAP HANA. Spinning or HDD-based media will not keep up with performance or efficiency demands – and come with a higher TCO in the end.
Data protection
Data protection solutions help to mitigate disaster issues that arise. They should include snapshot-based backup technology, because traditional backup is too slow to keep up with SAP HANA. HPE has industry leading, integrated snapshot-based data protection.
Multi-tenancy
All-flash eliminates the need to deploy and maintain separate storage silos for different QoS levels. You can enhance QoS levels without service disruption, pre-planning, or the need to purchase separate arrays to support different service levels.
