coexistence of current SAP and new HANA instances

• Resiliency• Unsurpassed RAS of enterprise

Power Systems servers for mission critical SAP applications

• Performance and scalability• POWER8 has double the

memory/core ratio of Intel and highest throughput per core

Open Source Databases

“By 2018, more than 70% of new in-house applications will be

developed on an OSDBMS

and… 50% of existing commercial RDBMS instances will have been converted or will be in

process.”
