Cisco Unified Computing System(Cisco UCS) blades with EMC VNX 5300 unified storage system have now validated to run SAP’s HANA business software.
The certification will enable customers to transform their business by harnessing the power of information to make real-time business decisions, said Cisco.
Cisco and EMC’s joint go-to-market activities include sales collaboration, channel partner enablement, collaborative technical services and support, integrated professional services, and marketing.
Cisco UCS is an integrated system that is designed to optimise compute, networking, storage access, virtualisation and management while VNX storage delivers end-to-end data integrity, multiple RAID options, and proactive global sparing and diagnostics.
VNX also optimises application performance that span the set of enterprise applications, as well as the SAP HANA platform.
EMC Global Solutions Group senior vice president Prasad Rampalli said the company has partnered with SAP to deliver an application that offers scalability, availability and performance for SAP HANA customers.
"Today we are launching an "application-aware" SAP HANA infrastructure which addresses mission critical requirements for IT to accelerate their adoption of SAP HANA in Enterprise," said Rampalli.
Cisco Data Center Business Group senior vice president and general manager David Yen said, "SAP’s HANA solution combined with EMC unified storage and Cisco’s easy to manage, highly-scalable UCS architecture delivers a highly innovative and agile infrastructure to meet the demanding performance needs of real-time analytics."
