Why exploiting SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems is the best option.
- Virtualization capabilities and unmatched performance.
- Power: over 6500 SAPS, double compared to an x86 processor.
- Up to 8 HANA instances on a single Enterprise Server.
- Architecture optimized for performance and in-memory transactions, up to 230GB/s per processor
- Integrated virtualization controlled by PowerVM that does not impact performance. Dynamic resource allocation (CPU and RAM), without having to restart the machine.
- PowerVM, since its creation, has not had any security flaws discovered.
- SAP competence center located in Montpellier to help migrate or create test environments.
- “Little-endian” environment that allows full in-memory data compatibility between Power and x86 environments
- More than 3,000 customers around the world using HANA on Power.
- Behind Cisco, and ahead of HP, which together represent more than half of server sales for HANA
- In 2018, IBM received the "Pinnacle Award" given by SAP in the "System Architecture" category.
