Whether you’ll need cloud storage for application testing and development, disaster recovery, or for shared files, our proven track record of public cloud and hybrid cloud storage services will give you the best blueprint for your SAP. 

Laying the foundation for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud 

When you’re looking to build a new enterprise cloud, you need a strong foundation. And after 20 years of innovation partnership, SAP knew NetApp was the right infrastructure partner to support the launch of HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC). 

Together, we built HEC’s foundation with our trusted solutions: 

  • NetApp AFF, for speed, efficiency, and reliability
  • NetApp ONTAP, for seamless data management
  • Azure NetApp Files, for scalability and flexibility that accelerate customer paths to cloud readiness

If SAP trusts NetApp to lay the foundation for SAP cloud services, why wouldn’t you?

The right tools to manage data in the cloud  

If you’re renovating your IT infrastructure, you want a team of trusted architects to work with the best tools and design software ever created. When it comes to data management, NetApp is your lead architect. We have the best-in-class tools to simplify SAP management and enhance data protection. 

When Dutch SAP service provider myBrand needed to expand its customer base and service portfolio, NetApp pulled MetroCluster out of the SAP cloud solutions toolbelt. Combined with support from Fujitsu, myBrand used MetroCluster to save on TCO and reach new levels of efficiency.
