By Bio-IT World Staff

May 17, 2016 | Dell and SAP announced a collaboration this morning to help customers optimize SAP solution environments running on clouds; deploy IoT enabled solutions; build on specialized healthcare applications; and streamline data migration and analytics with Dell’s world-class services.

In 2015, Dell opened the Dell Global SAP Center of Excellence enabling the two companies to work more closely to solve customer challenges related to data insights.

This month, Dell will be the first to offer customers the newly packaged SAP HANA Edge edition, advanced version and SAP Predictive Analytics, available on Dell server platforms in North America. Dell plans to offer a fully integrated appliance, the Dell Validated System for SAP HANA Edge, globally in the third quarter. The appliance speeds turnaround time for new reports and regardless of the source, data is synchronized to dramatically reduce the cost of gaining business insights. The Dell Validated System for SAP HANA Edge includes SAP’s predictive analytics libraries native to SAP HANA, SAP Predictive Analytics with advanced data modeler capabilities, and services from Dell to deliver rapid time to value. Additionally, Dell helps customers deploy, implement, migrate, support and train with Dell ProDeploy, ProSupport and custom service offerings.

Dell recently launched the Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions Partner Program to help customers find the best technologies for IoT solutions. As part of this program, Dell and SAP are collaborating to develop a broad range of end-to-end solutions with SAP HANA, IoT client for SAP HANA, and transaction availability for remote sites solution, working in connection with Dell Edge Gateways for industries spanning oil and gas to retail.

Leveraging the Dell and SAP collaboration in IoT, Dell today announced a new IoT development that includes SAP HANA and Cloudera Hadoop. This purpose-built architecture brings together Dell Edge Gateway technology with leading SAP applications and Cloudera tools, allowing customers to more easily gather and deploy information from sensors, and turn that information into actionable insights.
