Hewlett Packard and SAP have presented at the end of the Sapphire Now conference in Orlando, a community project to reduce the hardware requirements for processing large amounts of data clearly and Big Data applications, thereby making more efficient at the same time. "Octopus Project" combines HP's server technology with SAP's HANA in-memory database.
IBM EX5 server
family for SAP HANA
The main
advantage of the prototype shown is that it triples the memory size of a
single, scalable server for complex, data-intensive workloads. The system uses
16 CPUs from Intel's Xeon E7 processor family (also known as Ivy Bridge-EX) and
supports up to 12 TB of storage in a server unit. Currently apply industry-wide
as the standard 4 TB.
As with most new
enterprise technologies - whether hardware or cloud solutions - the goal is to
improve business processes by facilitating the establishment and the processing
time is reduced. Project Kraken is aimed at a variety of vertical sectors of
Government, health and finance to trading. Possible scenarios are Customer
Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), supply chain
management (SCM) and data analysis.
"Show with
Project Kraken HP and SAP how customers can carry out a performance boost,
while simultaneously simplifying the management of the infrastructure,"
said Vihsal Sikka, CTO and CEO of SAP. "It shows how large companies can
have their enterprise applications, including SAP Business Suite, with growing
amounts of data in a shorter run time. This offer will change the database
market fundamentally and permanently. "
The server
prototype was shown this week at the Now Sapphire. But neither HP nor SAP
commented on them when the system is on the market for data analysis.
