OREANDA-NEWS. June 06, 2011. Fujitsu Australia & New Zealand, a leading provider of ICT business solutions, today announced that in a new collaboration with SAP AG, Fujitsu infrastructure customers can now quickly analyse high levels of transactional business data in real time.

Fujitsu’s certified and optimised servers, storage and network infrastructure have now been validated by SAP AG for use with the SAP ® In-Memory Appliance software (SAP HANA™), a flexible, multipurpose, data source agnostic, in-memory appliance.

SAP HANA provides enterprises with instant insight into their business operations, delivering improved system performance and lowering operational risks. The software also dramatically improves speed by analysing data within server memory, rather than offloading it to disk-based systems.

Fujitsu is among the first vendors to provide a validated platform configuration to run SAP HANA and thus provide customers with a reliable, optimised and scalable infrastructure built on its high performance PRIMERGY RX600 and RX900 rack servers, ETERNUS storage and network solutions.

Fujitsu provides an end-to-end HANA solution, from complete hardware provisioning to integration of the HANA appliance in the customer data centre, as well as developing and supporting the applications built on HANA using SAP BusinessObjects solutions. Comprehensive services also provide customers with both proactive and reactive 24x7 support, defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs), a dedicated technical account manager and regular system health checks through Fujitsu Solution Contract for SAP HANA infrastructure.

SAP itself uses Fujitsu infrastructure, among others, to run SAP HANA in its own data centres.

Les Smith, Solutions Manager SAP EPM, Business Analytics and HANA at Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand said: “We recognise that businesses need the ability to make vital choices at the speed of thought – because windows of opportunity do not stay open for long. Previous tools could not process data sufficiently quickly to support real time decision making. With SAP HANA running on and supported by Fujitsu, customers will have unparalleled insight into data, whatever the size of organisation. ”
