HP and SAP announced their agreement for HP Enterprise
Services to provide cloud-based delivery of SAP applications that enable
enterprises to deploy applications.
The combination of these solutions will empower
enterprise customers to dramatically increase the availability and speed of
business information, leading to faster and more insightful decision making.
In collaboration with SAP, HP is empowering clients to
dramatically increase the availability and speed of business information via
the cloud, paving a flexible path toward future growth,” said Eric Clark, vice
president, Enterprise Application Services, HP Enterprise Services.
The first SAP application to be delivered by HP
Enterprise Services via its cloud platform is the SAP Customer Relationship
Management (SAP CRM) rapid-deployment solution, which can enhance the
productivity of enterprise sales, marketing and service professionals.
Delivered via HP Enterprise Services’ commercial data
centers around the globe, the SAP CRM rapid-deployment solution brings together
software and services that provide essential CRM functionality, quickly and
affordably, while helping clients reduce risk. Clients are provided secure
processing capacity with security and privacy policies that can rapidly adjust
to meet each client’s specific needs.
HP
bundles the necessary infrastructure, platform and application services in an
as-a-service model, enabling clients to pay on a per-seat basis for what they
need to run the applications and processes.
SAP Rapid Deployment solutions offer enterprises a
ready-to-use combination of software, predefined services and preconfigured
content at a fixed price. These solutions can be deployed much more quickly
than traditional methods often in as little as eight weeks.
Through expanded cloud delivery options via HP, we can
provide global users with secure, reliable access to essential business
applications while helping companies contain hardware and management costs,”
said Kevin Ichhpurani, senior vice president, Ecosystem and Channels, SAP.
HP recently announced
HP VirtualSystem for VMware, a highly optimized, turnkey solution that gives
organizations a virtualized infrastructure that speeds implementation and
provides a foundation for cloud computing.
As virtualization has gained adoption, multitier network
architectures, virtual sprawl, inflexible storage, unpredictable workloads and
security concerns have increased complexity and limited broad deployment.
