Reduce SAP HANA TCO with SAP HANA NSE, Intel Optane, & Pure Storage

SAP HANA’s data tiering solution, Native Storage Extension (NSE), supports S/4HANA and allows you to move up to 80% of HANA data into a warm data tier. Housing this data outside of in-memory HANA, generally reduces costs by a similar percentage!

But traditionally such savings also came with a stiff performance penalty when you bring that warm data back into HANA for processing. No More.

Pure Storage has partnered with Intel to integrate their new Optane SSD memory into our FlashArray solutions for SAP. Optane dramatically reduces the latency associated your data’s return trip to HANA. With Optane SSD, aka DirectMemory™ Cache from Pure Storage, your users will not notice any difference compared to leaving their entire dataset in-memory. But your IT budget will love you. Think of all you can do with the savings!
