Additionally, company’s clients can build upon company’s Nblock Enterprise Server to deliver advanced infrastructure functionality based on HANA and fully supported by the company.

“NEC has demonstrated a consistent commitment to enhance its Nblock solutions,” said Mark Dendinger, managing partner, 3V solutions (for its master VAR relationship with SAP). “The addition of NEC’s M-Series as an SAP-certified enterprise storage solution for SAP HANA enables us to meet our clients’ needs by delivering new levels of functionality while increasing the service level of our hosted solution for deployments of SAP HANA.“

SAP HANA combines database, data processing, and application platform capabilities in-memory. The platform provides libraries for predictive, planning, text processing, spatial and business analytics. By providing advanced capabilities such as predictive text analytics, spatial processing and data virtualization on the same architecture, it further simplifies application development and processing across big-data sources and structures. This makes SAP HANA a suitable platform for building and deploying next-generation, real-time applications and analytics.

“The new SAP certification for our storage series joins our existing SAP certifications for our enterprise servers for SAP HANA,” said Hide Senta, VP, NEC Corporation of America. “This certification helps ensure that our clients receive the optimal system integration knowledge and support from NEC and can have the best possible experience with SAP HANA.“
