On this week\u2019s Conversations in the Cloud, we are joined by Sim Upadhyayula, Senior Director of Solutions Enablement at Supermicro. In his role, Sim works with various enterprises and service providers to understand their data center needs and identify solutions. Sim discusses Supermicro\u2019s newly available Intel\xae Select Solutions for SAP HANA and its benefit to end customers, as well as their on-going collaboration with Intel.\n\nSupermicro has been working with Intel since 1993, and their continued adoption of Intel technologies helps customers to maximize business outcomes. Supermicro strives to be on the leading edge of new technologies and deeply values standards for long term performance and availability of systems. \n\nSim views Intel\xae Select Solutions for SAP HANA as part of the next generation of data center integration. Using Intel\xae Optane\u2122 DC Persistent Memory in the solution enables large-scale memory for data persistence, which is ideal for the SAP HANA platform. Users can expect shortened SAP database restart times, a smaller footprint, and lower cost so they can do more with less.\n\nIntel\xae Select Solutions for SAP HANA simplifies deployment by offering pre-tested and verified hardware designed together by Intel, SAP and Supermicro. Sim emphasizes that a pre-validated solution removes the hassle of scoping and shortens the deployment cycle, both important time-savers for customers. He also touches on the underlying components shared by all emerging technologies from AI to multi-cloud.\n\nFor more information on Supermicro, visit www.supermicro.com.
