SAP-Solution: Nutanix

In this interview, Jörg Niopek, Business Development Manager SAP Infrastructure at Fujitsu, and Lawrence Wilcox, Director Strategic Alliances at Nutanix, talk about scalability, agility and cost reduction in the SAP environment.

Many events have moved to digital because of COVID-19, including Sapphire Now Converge and Susecon Digital. Virtual customer conferences are important, especially for SAP customers.

E-3 Exclusive Interview with Dr. Markus Pleier, Director Systems Engineering at Nutanix. Nutanix has set out to revolutionize the way we look at IT architecture and modernize operational IT infrastructure. This automation and harmonization brings entirely new, comprehensive and sustainable degrees of freedom to SAP's existing customers.

Many application managers in the SAP environment continue to swear by bare metal as the ultimate for SAP environments. And they would be right if hyperconverged infrastructures (HCI) were only about virtualization. But it is about much more.

There are many concepts in the digital transformation. SAP's existing customers have years of experience in operations and need not so much visions, but concrete answers for a future IT architecture. Nutanix delivers the necessary concepts for the SAP community, report Peter Goldbrunner and Markus Pleier.

SAP's existing customers are moving in the direction of S/4 Hana. A few are almost there. Others are still searching, evaluating and planning. For all of them, there are fundamental decisions to be made: Cloud, on-prem or Hyper Converged Infrastructure? The Round Table is an orientation and a guide to action.

Swiss IT infrastructure service provider BNC Business Network Communications has partnered with Nutanix to offer customers new options for running their IT.

Chris Kaddaras has been appointed vice president and head of EMEA at Nutanix.

Existing SAP customers can run NetWeaver on the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform and Acropolis Hypervisor.

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.
