Highlights
Scale SAP HANA on Demand
Scale-out capabilities, combined with
high-performance EMC storage and
the balanced resources of the Cisco
Unified Computing System (Cisco
UCS), enable users to get more
performance from their SAP HANA
implementations.
This solution scales to up to 16
servers with 16 terabytes (TB) of
working space.
The Cisco and EMC solution makes
it easy to add more computing and
storage building blocks as demand
increases.
You can scale further to up to 40
blade and rack servers with up to 80
TB of capacity through the SAP HANA
Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI)
model.
Deploy Infrastructure Faster
Built-in automation enables
configurations to be deployed quickly,
easily, and accurately.
Handle Big Data
Cisco UCS, combined with EMC
VNX5400 storage systems, provides
persistent storage for SAP HANA
and real-time data generated during
