How All-flash Storage Can Accelerate SAP Performance
Deploying SAP on traditional storage often leads to complex, inefficient, and costly operational models. Many existing storage solutions are based on old, slow, and inefficient disk storage, or non-optimised hybrid storage systems, and mostly deployed in silos. The resulting architectures are too expensive, suffer from poor performance, and/or have significant downtime windows. As a result, they’re unsuitable for the consolidation of business-critical applications and databases.
On the other hand, running business-critical applications and databases on all-flash storage provides an immediate and powerful performance transformation for traditional SAP and SAP HANA. In addition, SAP users also get the ability to run various mixed workloads on the same infrastructure, which breaks down silo barriers while introducing a whole host of operational, management, and disaster recovery benefits. These benefits will ultimately transform IT and modernise SAP through reduced risk and cost and greater resources for innovation.
