A blog about experiences with SAP and Pure Storage with occasional golf, beer and bourbon
SAP typically creates and maintains an organization’s most critical data. But with the SAP mandate that your most critical SAP application, your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), must run on SAP S/4 HANA (powered by the SAP HANA database) by end the of 2027, it’s even more important than ever to have a fast, reliable and performant storage solution to meet your businesses growing needs.
I spent a good chunk of my career implementing SAP for numerous business processes across manufacturing, finance, services, and sales for a large storage company up here near Boston. I’ve spent the last five years at Pure Storage taking the knowledge I gained in running SAP to help customers understand how their infrastructure choices can help simplify their SAP platform. I’m happy to now take those experiences and put together a set of demo’s using SAP and Pure to show the possible. My first demo will be something every SAP customer has to go through – a system refresh of their IT environments with production data. Its a breeze with Pure Storage snapshots, especially with VMware vVols! I hope you enjoy and don’t hesitate to reach out with feedback!
Pure Storage ActiveDR is the perfect complement to SAP HANA system replication so you know your ERP is well protected in the event of a crisis.
Pure complements SAP’s new “RISE with SAP” subscription-based offering to help make your journey to the public cloud smoother and more cost-efficient.
Having run major SAP implementations and platforms in the past, I thought I’d share my perspective on how storage snapshots can help in an everyday SAP landscape.
