How To Simplify Running SAP Hana

[former_member593601]

SAP HANA is typically a complex piece of software but its complexity is due to the amount of tasks it handles for a business. When we look at simplification, one tends to think that in order to simplify things, we might need to remove certain parts of a SAP install in order to make it more compact and streamlined to fit the needs of a particular business. However, SAP has other ideas in mind when they think about simplification. The idea that SAP has when it comes to simplification is something known as hyperconvergence and the actual details of the matter are quite exciting to get into.

Hyperconvergence and SAP

Hyperconvergence is a term that refers to the encapsulation of storage, network processes and processing into a single unit which can then be scaled to suit the demands of the business. At the forefront of hyperconvergence is the use of cloud processing and cloud servers to create applications that businesses can utilize to aid in managing most parts of their economic inputs and outputs. SAP HANA is what businesses that have such a need for Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) defer towards, since HANA is fully cloud compatible. What HCI tries to do is to merge the traditional SAP HANA deployment with something new and fresh in the face of greater demand by users within the SAP community.

How Hyperconvergence Affects Users

Companies such as Nutanix now offer a user-friendly method of setting up HCI's that SAP HANA can make use of. The benefit of this is that the company gets to retain its efficiency and scalability while at the same time having an easy solution at hand for introducing HCI into its business processing model. By implementing HCI, a business can seek to maintain its operation standards while at the same time tightening its efficiency and reducing the management overhead needed to obtain these results. This also aids users that have businesses that require a constant need for scalability in their processing, storage and network demands. Since the HCI is a dedicated single hub, the amount of time spent managing the SAP network is reduced as the amount of deployments are reduced as well, making it a much simpler system from both the user and the system administrator's perspective.

Enterprise Management through Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Nutanix Enterprise Cloud is an offering for commercial users that can be utilized to bring a level of order to a chaotic world. By using hyperconvergence to create a simplified architecture for the system, this architecture brings together networking, storage, processing, and even virtualization, and makes them easy to deploy at the click of a single button. This enables admins to perform routine system management and updates without having to bring down the entire system to do so. Additionally, remote management of a casino news site allows for control over the system from anywhere that can be connected to the cloud network. Additionally, the single-interface system makes things even easier for users, ensuring that they don't need to wade through dozens of screens just to accomplish a simple task. Recommendations via the machine-learning system can anticipate the future needs of an organization and prompt network administrators pre-emptively to look at upgrade paths well before the system requires them, keeping the efficiency level of the whole operation optimal.

Hyperconvergence and the Future of Enterprise SAP

While not every business is going to need HCI incorporated into their data use model, it's a useful enough technology for firms to at least look into what it offers. For the right company, it could lead to a simplification of operations by tying all the disparate sources of data and processing under one single dedicated system. Having a single hub for the storage, processing and transfer of data makes things easier on the overall system. Distributed resources are important in certain situations, but ensuring that all the necessary processing pieces are properly linked together makes for a tighter, more efficient system overall. HCI is an attempt to create efficiency in those systems that are traditionally siloed by turning them into hubs of data instead of remotely available locations.
