HP today introduced the HP As-a-Service Solution for SAP HANA®,  a solution that allows organizations to
analyze big data and unlock real-time insight-without the burden of a
significant upfront capital investment. 

The HP As-a-Service Solution for SAP HANA bundles the SAP HANA
software license along with hardware and ongoing management into a complete
solution provided in a cost-effective, as-a-service model. The as-a-service
model allows clients to avoid capital expenditure and lower the total cost of
ownership-clients simply pay a monthly subscription fee for the total solution.

Combining HP’s deep expertise in information management and
analytics with the real-time platform of SAP, HP clients may harness the
benefits of in-memory computing and analytics to rapidly analyze and make
decisions on significant amounts of data at a cost and pace that makes sense
for their business.

<i>”Today’s market
pressures create the need for companies to know in real time what is going on
with their enterprise, their clients and even their competitors, so they can
stay competitive,” said Jules Beck, vice president, Enterprise Application
Services, HP. ”When HP and SAP innovate together, we raise the bar on what is
possible for our clients by providing real-time insights.” </i>

The new solution runs in an HP Managed Cloud environment,
either as a managed virtual private cloud or a managed private cloud, within a regionalized,
enterprise-class HP data center facility. It is powered by the SAP-certified HP
AppSystem for SAP HANA.&nbsp;

The new solution also is enabled by the HP Migration Factory
for SAP HANA to provide best-in-class migration. These migration services
ensure HP will plan, migrate, validate, secure and deliver clients’ mission-critical
data onto the SAP HANA platform. All migration services are performed under SAP-certified
methodology and validated with HP’s global SAP certifications to successfully
design, build, integrate and run SAP systems globally.

<i>”SAP is laser-focused on our joint clients’ business
challenges and technology needs, and with HP as our strategic partner we are
delivering integrated solutions that enable them to become best-run businesses,”
said Eric Johnson, senior vice president, SAP Database and Technology
Solutions.&nbsp;”</i><i>This
new offering is part of SAP’s </i><i>HANA Enterprise Cloud</i><i> strategy to offer mission-critical end-to-end
managed cloud services to its customers, both directly and through its valued
partners such as HP</i>. <i>HP As-a-Service Solution for SAP
HANA is a great example of the unique value both companies bring to
consistently exceed our clients’ expectations to accelerate innovation with
minimal disruption.”</i>
