SAN JOSE, Calif. – October 13, 2015 – Nutanix, the next-generation enterprise computing company, today announced a global partnership with SAP (NYSE: SAP) that enables customers to leverage the Nutanix web-scale infrastructure solution to run their business-critical SAP® applications. These include enterprise resource management (ERP), business warehouse, customer relationship management (CRM) and more. The Nutanix Xtreme Computing Platform (XCP), a leading hyperconverged infrastructure solution certified for SAP applications, is now on the supported hardware list for the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform.
Nutanix XCP is now ready to run SAP enterprise applications on a wide range of high-performance platforms, including VMware vSphere, that can dramatically simplify the deployment, management and scaling of datacenter infrastructure.
