systems:
§
Discovery: Ensuring management tools constantly reflect
the most current state of Vblock Systems.
§
Identification: Enabling the converged system view.
§
Validation: Providing system assurance.
§
Health
Monitoring: Expediting diagnosis and
remediation.
§
Logging: Promoting rapid troubleshooting.
§
Open
API: Simplifying integration
o
The
software is delivered pre-installed on all new Vblock Systems, and includes:

NEW: Specialized System for SAP HANA
o
SAP HANA
on Vblock Systems is officially certified for SAP HANA 1.0 SPS5
§
Primary
target: HANA Market. IBM and HP are key
players. There is an excellent
opportunity to capture significant share during the market transition to HANA.
§
Block
based solutions for scale-out deployments (4 and 8 node base configurations based
on Cisco UCS and EMC VNX)
§
Comprehensive
cooperative support agreement with SAP extending VCE’s single support to ease
deployment & on-going operations
o
VCE
differentiation
§
Avoidance
of file system bottlenecks of GPFS and NFS - eliminating the high overhead and
cost associated with the need to copy and move data between nodes
§
Faster
recovery times – alleviate node-based arrangement that consumes significant CPU
resources, but also consumes bandwidth on the interconnect fabric between nodes
§
Powerful
storage API - configure the system to rapidly offload CPU-intensive I/O operations
to the storage system controllers, allowing the SAP HANA system to allocate all
available resources to manipulating in-memory data
-
