Abstract: On October 12, 2017, at the Hangzhou Yunqi Conference, Li Jin, Vice President of Alibaba Cloud, made a major announcement of "Deep in the Cloud", announcing that Alibaba Cloud ECS cloud server has passed the SAP HANA certification. This marks the combination of Alibaba Cloud's elastic computing products and SAP products, taking advantage of both parties' advantages in big data and artificial intelligence to make enterprise solutions more "smart" and create more promising value.
SAP HANA is an in-memory computing platform that supports both on-premise and cloud deployment models, helping customers accelerate business processes, enable smarter business operations, and simplify IT environments. By providing the foundational platform for all of our customers' data needs, SAP HANA removes the burden of maintaining separate legacy systems and siloed data. In this way, customers can energize and make smarter business decisions in the new era of the digital economy.
Passing the SAP HANA certification means that enterprise users can deploy and run critical business systems based on the SAP HANA platform on Alibaba Cloud with confidence.
SAP HANA certification is one of the most difficult certifications in the field of cloud servers. The key lies in the professionalism of its related tests and the rigor of performance requirements. From the perspective of performance, this test set requires hundreds of performance test cases, covering almost All OLAP/OLTP scenarios.
This test set not only requires the test results of each use case on the cloud server to be compared with the physical machine, but also requires that the performance loss be controlled within a certain range, and at the same time, it is not allowed to increase the performance by increasing the CPU. What is more challenging is that the performance indicators of hundreds of test cases must meet very demanding requirements, which is undoubtedly very challenging in the field of virtualization research and development, and the Alibaba Cloud platform can meet the standards, which proves that Alibaba Cloud is in the virtualization technology. leading edge in the field.
Alibaba Cloud ECS enterprise-level cloud server products include a total of 21 instance families, providing services for 207 enterprise application scenarios. Enterprise-class instances feature stable performance and exclusive resources. The certified instance type ecs.se1.14xlarge belongs to the ECS enterprise-class memory instance family SE1. The specific configuration is: 56 vCPU (Intel Xeon E5-2682v4 2.5GHz) 480GB memory. At present, the instance can be purchased in all regions.
In order to meet more and higher-end HANA user scenarios, Alibaba Cloud continues to promote the certification of larger-scale instances. It is expected to launch larger-scale instances with 1T and 2T memory capacity by the end of the year. At the same time, Alibaba Cloud is working closely with SAP to launch the Alibaba Cloud platform certified by SAP NetWeaver as soon as possible.
According to the latest market research data released by the international research organization IDC, Alibaba Cloud's market share in China's IaaS market in 2016 has reached 40.67%, surpassing the combined size of the second to eighth market followers and occupying an absolute market share in China's public cloud computing market. Dominant position, 34% of China's top 500 enterprises are customers of Alibaba Cloud. In the digital transformation of enterprises, customers use ECS large-memory instances and SAP HANA platform to analyze a business data that would have taken several hours to complete, shorten the time. It can be completed in just a few seconds, which is thousands or even tens of thousands of times faster than the original analysis speed, thus helping its customers to flexibly adjust the resource deployment of internal business.
