However, the provision of these functions places massive demands on the scalability and availability of the IT infrastructure. All of this must be realized against the backdrop of constantly changing business requirements.

Thousands of companies across a wide range of industries have chosen IBM Power systems to run SAP Hana. Customers who switched from x86 to IBM Power systems can now provision Hana instances faster, scale them as needed, and increase capacity in increments of 0.01 processor cores and
Customize 1 GB memory.

In addition, planned and unplanned downtime has been reduced to almost zero. One customer said:

"In the past, if we needed a large SAP Hana system, we had to buy, install and configure new x86 appliances. Today, we can simply spin up new virtualized systems as needed, making the process of provisioning large Hana production systems up to 20 times faster - a big improvement."
