Increase the agility of your SAP landscapes

Today’s organizations face greater, more dynamic competitive pressures than ever before. Companies must become more agile, which means their core systems – the SAP landscapes – must become more agile. However, it is a delicate balance protecting these environments from interruption today while preparing for the needs of tomorrow. NetApp helps customers build their data fabric so that they can connect their tried and true on-premise infrastructure to the cloud allowing them to take advantage of the best of the cloud when they are ready.

10 reasons SAP applications belong on NetApp Optimize SAP in the cloud

Simplify SAP HANA operations

Backing up SAP databases is a lengthy task that can degrade the performance of your production SAP HANA system, but cutting corners is out of the question. If data inconsistency of any kind occurs, you want to restore your SAP database quickly. NetApp makes it simple to back up SAP HANA data in minutes instead of hours, while minimizing performance impact on production systems. Then, seamlessly use backup data for fast SAP system copy operations. We make it simple to protect against future disasters while optimizing today's workflows.

Accelerate your SAP HANA projects

Traditional SAP lifecycle management often uses time-consuming and error-prone manual processes that can delay responses to business requirements. NetApp solutions for SAP HANA can help you shorten development cycles with instantaneous cloning, provision and prototype systems in minutes rather than days, and streamline management through best-in-class integration with SAP tools such as SAP Landscape Management (LaMa).
