A. Customer Success and MomentumNine out of the Ten customers referenced during SAP’s Keynotes are current Cisco UCS Customers
B. S/4HANA is Lean and Agile10x Smaller Footprint – meaning less Hardware and much lower TCO. OLTP/OLAP Combo with Optimizations
C. Simple Path S/4 adoptionSoH was first introduced in late 2013. The upgrade path(s) are becoming more clear

A. Increased focus on HadoopStronger more defined integrations from SAP into Hadoop. Take-out Cost, Take-out Complexity
B. VMware via Controlled AvailabilityJust because there were no major announcements made by VMware doesn’t mean the virtualization story was not there
Controlled Availability vs General Availability vs Ramp-up. Things to know and keep in Mind
C. Simple with all 26 Industry Releases. Power of OLTP/OLAP ComboThe Simple portfolio is starting to come into focus (Finance, Logistics, etc.)
Real-world use cases made possible by OLTP/OLAP combo. Simulations and Predictive Analytics on the fly
This does NOT replace the need for a Next Generation EDW (powered by HANA essentially stand alone)
