SGI Introduces Unique Scale-out Solution for SAP HANA® that Protects Investments When Moving to Real-time Business
October 04 2016 - 9:00AM
SGI also surpasses 800 Terabyte (TB) milestone
for total scale-up systems running SAP HANA
Today, SGI (NASDAQ:SGI), a global leader in high-performance
solutions for compute, data analytics and data management,
announced that enterprises can now leverage the Intel-based SGI UV
300H server in a multi-node cluster (scale out) to run SAP®
Business Warehouse (SAP BW) on SAP HANA® or new SAP BW/4HANA.
Unique to SGI, the cluster nodes can later be reconfigured as
single-node systems with 1 to 32TB of shared memory (scale up) to
run SAP S/4HANA® and other real-time applications. SGI also
announced that deployments of the SGI UV 300H as a single-node
system provide in total over 800 Terabytes of in-memory computing
capacity to organizations running the SAP HANA platform. These
announcements reflect SGI’s broadening leadership in
high-performance data analytics and continuing innovation to
achieve greater insight and gain competitive advantage with SAP
HANA.
SGI UV 300H is now SAP-certified under general
availability in a clustered scale-out configuration to run SAP BW
on SAP HANA or SAP BW/4HANA, using four to sixteen 8-socket nodes
and up to 56 Terabytes of in-memory computing capacity. When
business lines wish to move to real-time analytics utilizing SAP
Business Suite on SAP HANA, SAP Bank Analyzer, SAP S/4HANA Finance,
or other SAP S/4HANA applications, the clustered systems can be
fully repurposed to form single-node systems with 4 to 32 sockets.
By avoiding the need to “rip and replace” multi-node clusters when
single-node systems are required, IT organizations can enjoy
considerable cost savings by protecting investments and reduce time
to solution.
More than 100 single-node SGI UV 300H systems have
been installed in organizations worldwide to provide data analytics
in real time with SAP HANA and enable business lines to know when,
where and how customers are buying without delay; view inventories,
supply chains or financials with up-to-the-second accuracy; and
spot market changes early and adjust with precision. These SGI
systems deliver in total over 800 Terabytes of in-memory computing
capacity – reflecting customer capacity growth in excess of 300%
over the past twelve months.
