Hybrid Cloud is nothing new, certainly not in the land of marketing and buzzword bingo, but Hybrid Cloud in an appliance form factor that focuses solely on "high value workloads" is certainly something that is elusive.
The preview announcement, made at SAP TechEd by Sven Denecken (SVP, SAP S/4 HANA) described an industry partnership to bring a fully managed hybrid experience to customers that run SAP workloads.
With the 2025 deadline approaching, customers migration journeys are under way to S/4 HANA, and with these journeys comes infrastructure questions and choices. The position that Dell Technologies and our partners are taking is that customers' consumption of these technologies shouldn't be a "cloud OR..." question; rather it's a "cloud AND..." question. This consumption model provides great flexibility as to where workloads are run, and enables workload mobility and management based on an SLA - not based on a location.
The Kinetic Hybrid Cloud for SAP is brought to you by Deloitte, Dell Technologies and Intel. This simple diagram shows the Unified Operations and workflow integration that Deloitte and Dell Technologies bring to SAP workloads across multiple datacenter instances.
Dell Boomi provides integration of data sources and applications outside of the SAP Application ecosystem; SAP has intelligent integration points within the SAP Application ecosystem; Deloitte brings Hybrid Cloud Management to the horizontal suite of deployment solutions; and Dell EMC brings complete infrastructure management for the on-premises infrastructure components.
All of this is managed under one SLA, one price, and a single engagement model through Dell Technologies and Deloitte.
I'm really excited about this combination of companies, technologies and people. This is only the beginning - and I'll share much more when able to.
