Customers to Benefit from Integration of Hitachi’s Products and Services With SAP HANA®; Signed Global OEM Agreement
Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, Hitachi), Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, and SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), market leader in enterprise application software, today announced an expansion of their worldwide alliance based on a global original equipment manufacturer (global OEM) agreement that introduces plans to include breakthrough power technology of SAP HANA®, delivered by HDS. The collaboration focuses on providing future technology innovation and combined sales and marketing activities to customers worldwide. With this agreement, the companies will extend further integration in areas such as cloud computing, the SAP® Real-Time Data Platform and high-performance enterprise computing. Hitachi plans to build on it’s vision for social innovation, industries, and big data expertise with SAP HANA.
Mr. Marrut Manistitya, Managing Director of Thailand and Myanmar, Hitachi Data Systems Pte Ltd, said that this global OEM agreement enables HDS to bundle a more complete Enterprise Data Center solution for SAP NetWeaver® Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW) on SAP HANA, and is the first OEM agreement for SAP NetWeaver on SAP HANA. The tighter integration will allow customers to make purchases that consist of a unified computing platform, software and managed services from HDS. It is envisioned that customers can benefit from a platform that scales without affecting performance or adding needless complexity.
The global collaboration is designed to bring customers from SAP, Hitachi and HDS a more cohesive solution with a focus on SAP HANA, storage virtualization, cloud computing, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and information life-cycle management (ILM) solutions. The parties expect that customers will be able to achieve maximum value from SAP and Hitachi solutions, including lower implementation and operational costs, higher availability and increased enterprise-class disaster tolerance.
Mr. Liher Urbizu, Managing Director, SAP Indochina said SAP and Hitachi have had a solid partnership for over two decades, and we are pleased to announce the expansion of our collaboration, especially on high performance SAP HANA platforms. Today’s announcement underscores our commitment to co-innovating with our partners to help businesses in Indochina remove complexity and run simpler. Through our expanded collaboration, we envision that customers will be able to gain significant advantage with SAP HANA, our in-memory computing platform for real-time businesses.
Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) for SAP HANA provides 5x more data load than other offerings, with proven transactional and analytical performance for customers.
"While we are most certainly thrilled with this announcement, it's our joint customers who have the most to gain as a result. HDS is now able to offer a tightly integrated Enterprise Data Center solution that delivers a 5x performance increase over competitive offerings, while minimizing the data center footprint and resource requirements. This increased collaboration with SAP is expected to also result in greater OPEX and CAPEX efficiencies for customers, and sets the stage for future joint innovation between the two companies,” added Mr. Marrut.
Leading customers in various industries, including insurance, consumer products and retail, as well as online marketplaces, now can accelerate the power of SAP HANA on Hitachi UCP. Pre-configured software and hardware reduces implementation time, while rapid data loading and fast analytics are key to a successful engagement with an online marketplace.
“The alliance intends to provide customers with tightly integrated, innovative solutions and reduced time to market, while minimizing migration costs. We are sure that with our combined expertise and commitment to customer delight, we will be able to achieve what we aim to,” Mr. Marrut concluded.
