EMC, SAP to boost IT infrastructure needs

ATLANTA: EMC Corporation today announced its plans to invest in new EMC SAP solutions center, to help customers derive more value out of their investments in SAP applications, at the SAPPHIRE '07 Atlanta, SAP's international customer conference.

EMC said in a statement that it would also invest in Adaptive Computing certification for several EMC platforms and ongoing adaptive solutions testing, and enhance collaboration with SAP Consulting to jointly address customer infrastructure requirements.

Customers are demanding ways to lower TCO throughout their IT infrastructure while improving efficiency. The EMC SAP Solutions Center would help achieve increased speed of upgrades, and improved recoverability and security of information on SAP applications. EMC is committed to continued Adaptive Computing certification of platforms as technology refreshes as well as developing and testing solutions across entire the entire EMC portfolio with SAP applications, an EMC statement said.

This would help our customers reduce complexity, drive down operating costs, and maximize their current technology resulting in an increasingly flexible infrastructure to unlock the value of their SAP information, EMC statement added.

"EMC information infrastructure solutions for SAP applications helps customers accelerate and increase ROI across SAP application lifecycles. Today's announcement is the first of many that address EMC's continued investment in ensuring mutual customers can maximize its IT investments," said Chuck Hollis, vice president, Technology Alliances, EMC.

EMC and SAP have worked together for more than 10 years on technology projects and two vendors are continuing to collaborate to serve mutual customers. By jointly addressing the infrastructure requirements of a customer, EMC and SAP remove obstacles and risk resulting in faster upgrade implementation.
