With IBM Power Systems and PowerVM virtualization, we can

provision resources much more efficiently. Today, we can simply spin

up new logical partitions as and when needed, making the process of

provisioning new SAP HANA systems up to 20 times faster

Scale SAP HANA affordably

• Get cloud like economics on-premises with

flexible pay-per-use models

• Allocate the precise capacity you need with

granular allocations – 0.01 core, 1 GB

• Deploy in a hybrid cloud environment with

choices of off-prem cloud – Power Virtual

Server, IBM Cloud or SAP HEC

Using Power Systems the cost for HANA landscape just drops by 50%

• DRAM2 is presented as PMEM device

• DRAM2 region is initialized with Main
