Yes what does @CanopyCloudGuy think about that?

EMC IT talked about entire BPC on HANA project only took 2 1/2 months from start to Prod!!

Out of the box 99.9% availability with VMware HA

I am a big fan of snapshots for Hana because it allows you roll back after an unsuccessful patch install. Huge headache until now

live migration (vMotion) of 512GB virtual Hana instance in under 10min

EMC IT had data retrieval activities improvements greater than 400% running BPC on Virtualized #HANA

Also Hana service providers need virtualized hana

Virtualizing #SAPHANA allows Service Providers the flexibility, scalability and efficiency they need to provide a profitable HEC offering to their clients.

Every Service Provider and Systems Integrator we've engaged in a #HEC discussion immediately asks about virtualizing #SAPHANA - it's critical to the way SPs do business. Standardized, reusable infrastructure sized to fit the client's needs.

For more details on the benefits #EMC IT has gained running Virtualized SAP HANA, please read:

Some folks thought there would be issues with Performance when Virtualizing SAP HANA - are there? I hear no.

If @matthewtheurer is near his twitter, maybe he can tell us why virtualizing #SAPHANA is important to @Virtustream ?

In fact, SAP Ken Tsai says, "We're happy to say that in the tests we have seen, by and large if the customer follows the deployment guidance – one single VM in the preconfigured and certified appliance – the performance is very close to the bare metal..."

@sylvie75015 He follows that up by saying,"The performance tradeoff is not significant."

@CStreubert snapshots will change big time with #DSSD and virtualization

#EMC IT has visions of continuing to leverage Virtualized #HANA for downstream SAP applications planned for migration to #SAP HANA, both in OLAP and OLTP applications.

Considering the improvements #SAPHANA delivers - reports generated 300x faster - would you really notice if your reporting was 270x faster instead because of virtualization? :-)

Here's a consolidation of some of the content with several links to blogs about Virtualized #HANA http://scn.sap.com/blogs/SylvieEMC/2014/05/06/customers-can-now-gain-the-combined-benefits-of-in-memory-computing-with-virtualization

Virtualizing #SAP #HANA with #VMware like #EMC IT did allows for reduced infrastructure demand and thus cost management.

You can follow the EMC IT SAP HANA deployment @PutitonHANA for some real-time thoughts, advice, best-practices, and have questions answered! In real-time of course! @ReidTechBoston

Virtualizing #SAPHANA allows for a more efficient HA model. Instead of typical #HANA 1+1 HA, use #VMware HA, and save on costs for standby resources while still enjoying 99.9% availability!

@virtualwonton EMC IT Says, "By implementing a storage-based replication strategy to support zero data loss Disaster Recovery solutions, we foresee further management of costs with a reduced compute footprint in the DR instances".

EMC IT's @ReidTechBOS says, "We have increased capacity of #SAP #HANA 5X without growing headcount, are experiencing 99.9% uptime, can deploy new SAP HANA instances in minutes and are realizing significant OPEX and CAPEX reductions." What's better?

Lots of updates and new innovation ahead, we've only begun our journey!

Welcome @ReidTechBos - What does the future hold for #EMC IT and Virtualized #SAP #HANA - especially now with SAP's support, not to mention the EMC Data Protection support for all HANA deployments!

First things first, BW on HANA of course!

Looking to expand Suite on #HANA for CRM in up in running in Dev landscapes now. Perhaps a few other SAP core Apps too as they go GA.

And what benefits to you expect from expanding Suite on #HANA for CRM?

@ReidTechBOS What benefits do you expect from expansion? Customers are asking about ROI - sounds like you are getting them.

Would be all about performance for Enabling our Sales Organization. Has to perform at the speed of business!

@ReidTechBOS #EMC Data Domain provides the backup for #SAP Landscape - tell us about that. Benefits of Data Protection - critical strategy. @DanTheBackupMan

Log Volumes, Data Volumes, Config Files have to be in synch and protects, #DataDomain core component to protect all 3 for restore point.

Also can be scheduled or done via Ad Hoc to provide Check Point / Restore Prior to patching.

@henrikwagner73 and @it360eu talking #EMCElect & #SAPMentors collaboration & joint engagement on #theCube

Fabulous interview on #theCube @emcworld https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbwAn4D9GLo

Where is Sanjay when you need him

They know how to balance risk and innovation to delivery value to the Business! #onestepahead

#saphana with EMC was great news. if you look at this and the DSSD with SAP and EMC looks very strong

The partnership makes sense helping innovate faster for SAP clients

What is the plan for #SapphireNOW

@CrowdCaptain EMC's SAP Team will be there in force, and #EMC IT will be talking about their Virtualized #SAP ERP & #HANA environments. We are meeting with customers & partners onsite, and should have a stellar social media program.

What does @it360eu think?

#SAPPosse will be at #SAPPHIRENOW in force

lots of questions from clients today on Virtual HANA to drive simplicity of adoption

the reason why is clear -- 72% of all beer production is managed through #SAP

I just interviewed David Goulden and he was so excited about the EMC SAP relationship

The federation is smoking hot

Pat summarized well: improved SLAs, faster time-to-market and lower TCO @it360eu

Lots of customers are looking to leverage their existing virtualization strategy - and now they can by leveraging VMware vSphere 5.5 with #SAP #HANA adoption. #EMC IT has seen Improvements in data retrieval activities have been greater than 400%,

@BillRMcDermott at Joe Tucci's keynote yesterday was stellar. He was larger than life, and definitely pumped about our relationship.

what does @dvellante think?
