Discussing hyperconverged infrastructure and platforms were Alexander Thoma of Nutanix, Roland Goll and Jannes Driesch of Lenovo, and analyst Carlo Velten of Crisp Research and Bas Raayman of Nutanix.
Lenovo System x and SAP have been working together for years to deliver innovative IT solutions to joint customers. Already with the market availability of the first SAP in-memory solution in 2006, Lenovo started to deliver in-memory systems for SAP customers.
Hyperconvergent systems as the basis for enterprise clouds - this alternative to the classic data center infrastructure is still largely unknown in the German-speaking SAP community. Patrick D. Cowden, Vice President Central Europe & Emerging Markets at Nutanix, wants to change that.
Why and how does the cloud paradigm need to be adopted by existing SAP customers? Few existing SAP customers are prepared for the public cloud. Cost, complexity and legal risks are difficult to manage. So how can the balancing act between the need for more agile IT and control in their own data center be achieved? The Nutanix concept of the enterprise cloud provides the answer.
