Leading open source virtualization solution now
certified to run virtualized SAP HANA workloads, bringing
cost-effectiveness, high performance and scalability to enterprise
big data operations
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that Red Hat Virtualization now
supports the SAP HANA® platform, a market-leading in-memory data
and application development platform for running big data
workloads. Red Hat is now able to offer an operating system (Red
Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA) and hypervisor that are both
validated for use with SAP HANA environments, providing a level of
open standardization to organizations seeking greater choice of
virtualized solutions, operational efficiencies and cost reductions
in their datacenters.
A scalable, flexible, Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) powered
virtualization solution, Red Hat Virtualization provides an open,
easy to use, and more secure virtualization platform that can
handle diverse workloads, like those posed by big data applications
and analysis, without extensive modifications or custom hardware.
By now supporting SAP HANA deployments, Red Hat Virtualization
helps customers consolidate physical hardware to reduce IT expenses
without losing operating capacity or functionality. Additionally,
Red Hat Virtualization forms a solid foundation for innovative
technologies, like Linux containers and cloud computing, while
remaining easy to integrate with existing IT investments.
Because Red Hat Virtualization forms the basis for many of Red
Hat’s next-generation computing technologies, this capability
further enables customers to standardize on the Red Hat portfolio
for their SAP HANA deployments. This can help to extend the
flexibility of customer big data operations and provide more
options when it comes to scaling to address extreme computing
tasks.
Availability
Red Hat Virtualization support for SAP HANA workloads is
available today.
