NEC Offerings for SAP HANA to Include Enterprise Storage Solutions
IRVING, Tex., Oct. 1 -- NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a leading technology integrator of advanced IT, communications and networking solutions, today announced that its offerings for SAP HANA tailored data center integration have expanded beyond enterprise servers to include NEC enterprise storage solutions. NEC’s M-Series storage solutions are now certified by SAP as an enterprise storage solution for the SAP HANA platform. Provided with documentation on best practices and supported by NEC, the NEC M-Series family of storage products is immediately available for customers to implement the storage needed for running SAP HANA. Customers can leverage their existing hardware and infrastructure components that are SAP-certified enterprise storage solutions for their SAP HANA-based environments, providing more choice for organizations even when working in heterogeneous environments.
Additionally, NEC’s clients can build upon NEC’s Nblock Enterprise Server to deliver advanced infrastructure functionality based on SAP HANA and fully supported by NEC.
“NEC has demonstrated a consistent commitment to enhance its Nblock solutions,” said Mark Dendinger, managing partner at 3V solutions for its master VAR relationship with SAP. “The addition of NEC’s M-Series as an SAP-certified enterprise storage solution for SAP HANA enables us to meet our clients’ needs by delivering new levels of functionality while increasing the service level of our hosted solution for deployments of SAP HANA.”
SAP HANA combines database, data processing, and application platform capabilities in-memory. The platform provides libraries for predictive, planning, text processing, spatial and business analytics. By providing advanced capabilities such as predictive text analytics, spatial processing and data virtualization on the same architecture, it further simplifies application development and processing across big-data sources and structures. This makes SAP HANA a highly suitable platform for building and deploying next-generation, real-time applications and analytics.
“The new SAP certification for our storage series joins our existing SAP certifications for our enterprise servers for SAP HANA,” said Hide Senta, VP, NEC Corporation of America. “This certification helps ensure that our clients receive the optimal system integration knowledge and support from NEC and can have the best possible experience with SAP HANA.”
