NEC launches solutions for simplifying the installation of SAP HANA(R)

Tokyo, Japan, August 18, 2015 -NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced the launch of its "SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration Solutions (NEC Storage)," which are designed to simplify the installation of SAP HANA(R) in-memory database software.

This solution is a combination of the NEC's SAP HANA appliance server, the "NEC High-Performance Appliance for SAP HANA," and four models from the NEC M Series of storage products (*).

All of the four models' storage have been certified by SAP for the SAP HANA Enterprise Storage. Operation verification and evaluation of the connection to the SAP HANA appliance server are also completed prior to delivery. With this solution, customers can eliminate the burdensome work of satisfying all the performance and availability requirements set by SAP in the construction of a SAP HANA environment, thereby drastically shortening the installation time.

"We have seen rapidly increasing demand from enterprise customers for SAP HANA as a big data processing platform," said Hiroyuki Asaga, General Manager, Partners' Platform Division, NEC Corporation. "The new solution, which combines our SAP HANA appliance server and storage products that have been certified for SAP HANA Enterprise Storage, will simplify the installation of SAP HANA and enable more customers to benefit from the high speed in-memory processing."
