An integrated solution like hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which brings together compute, storage and networking in one package, would appeal to an SAP customer looking to simplify infrastructure management and to scale up as it grows.
Nutanix, through Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, brings together private cloud performance and control with the flexibility of public cloud to deliver SAP HANA and SAP NetWeaver landscapes.
Using Nutanix’s own Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) also reduces the total cost of ownership as it won’t require additional licensing fees.

Keeping SAP Systems Online
According to SAPinsider’s Benchmark Report Cybersecurity Threats and Challenges to SAP Systems 2024, keeping SAP systems online has been a priority for organizations and the growing complexity of SAP landscapes, including the deployment and integration of cloud-based solutions, has made increased availability even more important.
The report found 26% of organizations said the pressure of keeping critical systems and operations online was one of its top factors in driving strategy and plans for cybersecurity for SAP systems. It also found 27% of larger organizations were most concerned about keeping systems and operations online, as well as 26% of smaller organizations.
