q.beyond is a provider of cloud services, SAP applications, and IoT technologies to enterprises, with an emphasis on integration. More than 1,100 professionals help SMEs with digitization.

Today, SAP transformation is a big IT topic for small and midsize enterprises, as support for SAP ECC 6.0 will end in 2027. For many q.beyond customers, switching from the classic SAP ERP to S/4HANA means replacing legacy hardware systems, moving to the cloud, and setting up new processes and operating models to complete the transformation.

NetApp flash performance, ONTAP data management, including Snapshot^™ technology, and close integration with SAP are important elements of the q.beyond private cloud. q.beyond can efficiently manage and protect hundreds of SAP HANA instances.

Individual files or entire file systems are backed up as an image in seconds using NetApp Snapshot technology. These copies can be restored quickly, without having to restore database dumps. Because SAP systems can be copied and cloned at lightning speed, q.beyond can massively accelerate SAP dev/test and QA processes.
