NetApp, an Intelligent Data Infrastructure company; Broadcom; and Kochasoft, a provider of enterprise solutions, have announced a collaboration with Equinix, the world’s digital infrastructure company, on a new service offering for SAP S/4HANA & SAP Legacy Workloads running on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). As SAP customers determine how to deal with the upcoming expiration of maintenance support for previous versions of SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), they need an infrastructure modernisation solution that is cost-effective, resilient and secure. SAP customers currently running or planning to move to S/4HANA have a path to move to a hosted virtualised managed services environment running VCF and NetApp ONTAP to optimize cost, efficiency and security.

When modernising workloads that power their most important business operations, customers need to be assured that the underlying data and infrastructure will meet new demands for performance and scale without disruptions. The new NetApp and Equinix service offering for SAP workloads gives customers a managed solutions environment combining VCF private Cloud infrastructure with intelligent data infrastructure from NetApp. Kochasoft enables customers to reduce risk and accelerate time-to-value in their move to Equinix, empowering SAP users to confidently plan and execute their journey to a managed SAP environment. By combining extensive SAP expertise with proven delivery methodologies, Kochasoft ensures enterprises not only modernize with agility but also achieve reliable outcomes and long-term operational success.

“This new service offering brings the power of NetApp ONTAP to SAP applications on VMware Cloud Foundation, enabling customers to build intelligent data infrastructure that delivers proven performance, reliability and security,” said Dallas Olson, Chief Commercial Officer, NetApp. “Often, technology teams find that their data environments evolved beyond recognition after multiple instances of upgrades and expansions. As they approach their next major IT shift, they have an opportunity to build intelligence into their infrastructure to unify their data across environments and strengthen cyber resilience to drive business outcomes.”

“As businesses modernise their most critical workloads, like those running on SAP applications, they need reliable and secure infrastructure that can meet the evolving demands of those applications,” said Brian Stein, Senior VP, Infrastructure Products and Services, Equinix. “By collaborating with NetApp to host SAP applications in VMware Cloud Foundation environments, our customers have greater flexibility and control. With our managed solutions offerings, customers are empowered to accelerate transformation that drives meaningful business outcomes.”
