IBM has introduced a line of Power Systems servers designed to help adopters of SAP Hana in-memory database management system to quickly process big data workloads.
“The commodity servers used today by many organizations are increasingly stretched to their limits by new workloads, in the cloud or on premises,” Doug Balog, IBM Power Systems general manager, said Monday.
“New IBM Power System Solution Editions for SAP HANA are tailored to deliver enterprise-class capabilities to clients’ growing core systems reliability expectations.”
The company plans to make the Power Systems available in two configurations to enable clients to maintain different sizes of data repositories.
The first product will be used with the SAP Business Warehouse tool for 512-gigabyte databases, while the second offering will be tailored for 1-terabyte data platforms.
