Dell EMC and Intel® deliver proven performance and reduced complexity across your SAP environments.Over time SAP environments can become large, fragmented and costly to maintain. Unless of course you have a dynamic, optimised and intelligent infrastructure to run your applications on. Faced with the need to migrate to SAP HANA, organisations are having to modernise their infrastructure and workout which deployment model, on premise, private cloud, public cloud or hybrid cloud is best suited to their applications.

Companies also need to decide whether they wish to go with a brand-new S/4HANA implementation, a conversion from an existing ECC to S/4HANA, or else migrate their existing underlying databases to SAP HANA databases.

Reducing costs, from implementation to appliance.

As a general rule, the smaller the size of your required appliances across your SAP landscape, the lower your setup

and running costs will be. Streamlined data also reduces migration times, which frees up time and resources. And, with

controlled data growth, you preclude the need for memory upgrades and no longer have to worry about running out of

space. Less data, after Rightsizing, helps increase data access response times and appliance refresh expectancies.

Rightsize your SAP data.Every successful endpoint has a critical beginning. Without effective data management, the benefits of migrating to SAP HANA can be reduced or nullified. Our HANA data analysis service enables Rightsizing4 of your SAP data prior to migration, streamlining data management, speeding-up the process and saving costs.

The reassurance of developing your intelligent blueprint for migration with the global #1…Dell EMC, together with Intel® and SUSE, provides the infrastructure foundation, technical guidance and proven blueprint for migrating to SAP S/4HANA ranging from expert advice, architectural design to a variety of deployment options that include on-premises, off-premises cloud, and hybrid environments. The results are powerful solutions running on Intel® architecture that deliver breakthrough performance optimised for the real world.

We have an extensive track record of helping customers before, during and after their migration. Here is just one of the Dell EMC customer success stories.

Global enterprise Wihuri builds a reliable, cost-effective SAP S/4HANA environment on Dell EMC infrastructure and increases the speed of reporting by 100 times and up to an 87% reduction in database recovery time.

Endress+Hauser SAP HANA Migration

The Benefits

Migration to SAP HANA supported by Dell EMC’s standardised platform for planned transition to SAP S/4HANA unlocked new innovation opportunities for Endress+Hauser, increased performance by a welcome 30% and reduced their total operating costs.

The Solution

Dell EMC, working together with the IT department of Endress+Hauser, was able to transfer the entire mainframe workload for 9,500 SAP users by implementing a solution consisting of 46 Dell EMC PowerEdge R930 servers equipped with E7 v4 series Intel® Xeon®

processors with up to 24 cores per processor, Dell EMC VMAX3 Enterprise storage arrays, VMware vCloud Suite Advanced, VMware SRM (Site Recovery Manager) Enterprise, and SUSE Linux Enterprise for SAP Applications.

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R930 servers are divided into two configuration types, one with 1.5 TB main memory and one with 3 TB. The entire x86-based SAP and non-SAP environment consists of around 110 VMware ESXi Hosts and approximately 1,600 virtual machines.

“Dell EMC carried out the migration project with an

established team and a single point of contact while meeting all

of the deadlines and budgetary requirements for the project,

complete with Implementation Services, Support, and Dell

Financial Services.”

Ralf Straub, Director Operations at Endress+Hauser InfoServe GmbH+Co.

Deployment and consulting assistance when needed.Deployment services begin with System-level Deployment for hardware, storage and networking – resulting in 91% less effort, faster deployments and significant savings. Timing will vary depending on the customer’s requirements and the level of complexity of their environment. Once the hardware is installed, the Software Integration takes from 1 to 2- weeks. Active System Manager, if required, is delivered within that 1 to 2-week timeframe. The Accelerator is a fixed time engagement that’s delivered in 2-weeks.

Software Integration provides a high-value deployment extension to help customers rapidly integrate and configure required software within a customer’s environment. This enables customers to move quickly from install to production-ready – without the risk, worries or delays often associated with new technologies.

Benefit from the best practice of the Dell EMC migration to SAP HANA.When it came to seizing back control of basic analytics and reporting, Dell EMC also had to migrate to SAP HANA. 16,000 resources were driving Business Management and Analytics approaches and 80% of time was being spent on data movement, instead of using that precious time to analyse the data for true business insights.

Dell EMC made the move by trusting in Intel® architecture-based standards and the results speak for themselves.10
