VxRail is one of the first HCI platforms and the first VMware-based HCI to achieve certification to run SAP HANA, SAP’s in-memory database management system. SAP uses VxRail persistent memory to support the application and its use cases.

Customers benefit from running SAP HANA on VxRail because of the system’s automation and ease of deployment, flexibility to offer the right mix of components, and scalability to ensure future requirements are met. Customers can start fast with automation and full life cycle management to quickly support their HANA implementation using VxRail P Series nodes. VxRail is fully certified as a part of the Dell Ready Solution for SAP v1.5 release.

VxRail is best for SAP HANA because it is:

• Fast—Automation, ease of deployment, and ease of management ensure that customers are up and running quickly.
• Flexible—Systems can be configured to meet specific needs with build-to-order VxRail on PowerEdge.
• Powerful—A rich mix of components delivers performance, density, and power efficiency for both transactional process and analytics.
• Scalable—Customers can get increased power and performance without rip‑and‑replace system upgrades.
