SAP
High performance SAP HANA® and NetWeaver® Certified platform
Consolidate all aspects of your SAP® landscapes using certified solutions that maintain mission critical availability and speed time to value.
With on-demand, linear scaling, and high performance for both random read/write and sequential storage operations, the hyperconverged infrastructure-based Nutanix Enterprise Cloud can simultaneously support transactional and analytical SAP workloads with terabytes of active data. It is certified for production SAP HANA and NetWeaver environments, including S/4HANA application servers and, if you’re not a SAP HANA customer yet, your existing RDBMS databases.
VIRTUALIZE SAP HANA ON NUTANIX
SAP landscapes, including HANA databases, are ideal candidates for virtualization in a web-scale private cloud environment. Learn how to gain benefits such as the ability to rapidly deploy and adapt to changing performance and data growth needs, gain insights into the whole infrastructure environment in one consolidated location for easier troubleshooting, and simplify day-2 operations so you can focus on applications and innovating to meet business needs.
Powerful data protection and high availability
Nutanix web-scale solutions ensure SAP landscapes are kept running and well protected with advanced capabilities.
Maximize Uptime
Ensure availability with application-consistent backups, simplified recovery, and non-disruptive operations.
Deliver Excellent Performance
Support SAP HANA instances and large analytical and transactional databases with terabytes of active data, without overprovisioning to maintain long-term performance.
Backup and Restore Easily
Take near-instantaneous local and remote application-consistent backups, and simplify application and database restores.
Choose Your Hypervisor
Run SAP Classic landscapes on your choice of virtualization environments, including AHV, vSphere, and Hyper-V.
Leverage Advanced Capabilities
Data integrity checks, tunable redundancy, data path redundancy, replication and more features provide robust data protection.
“We haven’t found any workload that doesn’t run better on the Nutanix platform. As a result, we are exiting the traditional SAN environment over time as we end- of-life our current platforms and tear out the Fibre Channel infrastructure. We plan to be a Nutanix-only shop going forward—I see no reason to use anything else.”
