SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications is the first enterprise Linux optimized for Intel Optane DC persistent memory with SAP HANA workloads
SUSE, a pioneer in open source software, today announced support for Intel Optane DC persistent memory with SAP HANA®.
Running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, SAP HANA users can now take advantage of high-capacity Intel Optane DC persistent memory in the data center.
Users can optimize their workloads by moving and maintaining larger amounts of data closer to the processor and minimizing the higher latency of fetching data from system storage during maintenance.
Support for Intel Optane DC persistent memory, currently available in beta from multiple cloud service providers and hardware vendors, is another way SUSE is helping customers transform their IT infrastructures to reduce costs, deliver higher performance and compete more efficiently.
“Persistent memory technology will spark new applications for data access and storage,” said Thomas Di Giacomo, SUSE CTO.
“By offering a fully supported solution built on Intel Optane DC persistent memory, businesses can take greater advantage of the performance of SAP HANA. SUSE continues to partner with companies like SAP and Intel to serve customers worldwide who are looking to fuel growth by transforming their IT infrastructure. It is their needs that drive the direction of our innovation,” Thomas added.
New class of memory and storage technology
Alper Ilkbahar, Vice President and General Manager of the Non-volatile Memory and Storage Solutions Group at Intel, asserted that Intel Optane DC persistent memory represents a new class of memory and storage technology architected specifically for data center usage.
According to him, this new memory class is designed to enable cost-effective, large-capacity in-memory database solutions, help provide greater system uptime and faster recovery after power cycles, and deliver higher-performance cloud-scale applications.
Alper continued, “By working together with SUSE and SAP to bring this transformative technology to our customers, we can help enable them to take advantage of a whole new generation of applications and services that can deliver revolutionary capabilities for the datacentric era.”
Commenting on the partnership, Martin Heisig, SAP HANA Technology Innovation Network, said that the ability to deliver persistent memory for SAP HANA is a significant milestone in their ongoing relationship with SUSE and Intel.
He added, “The SAP Digital Core is built on the concept of simplifying the infrastructure for increased productivity and real-time insights.”
Nice Update, very helpful and very easy to understand a post.
