Virtustream, an SAP partner, today announced that it will participate at
SAPPHIRE NOW® and ASUG Annual Conference, May 7-9 in Orlando, Florida,
in booth #2034. Virtustream, a Dell Technologies business, will
showcase its market-leading cloud solutions designed to help businesses

The managed applications portfolio expansion includes support for SAP
Convergent Mediation solution by DigitalRoute, for both SAP HANA®
Enterprise Cloud and Virtustream Enterprise Cloud. Additionally, SAP
Data Hub and a new managed anti-malware solution designed to extend
anti-virus and malware protection into applications running on the SAP
NetWeaver® stack are available via Virtustream Enterprise
Cloud.

These new managed solutions are available today and build on
Virtustream’s years of expertise helping customers migrate and manage
their enterprise resource planning (ERP) landscapes in the cloud.

Virtustream is exhibiting at SAPPHIRE NOW to demonstrate how customers
can simplify the process of moving to SAP S/4HANA, as well as how to
condense timelines and reduce costs for migrating mission-critical ERP
systems to the cloud.

Virtustream offers customers data management and archiving solutions,
including fully automating SAP landscape deployments, from the virtual
machine (VM) to the application layer, such as automating compliance
checks and simplifying monitoring, security and encryption, as well as
other services configurations.

“We offer SAP customers a comprehensive approach for the planning,
migration, integration and optimization of their mission-critical
applications in the cloud,” said Deepak Patil, senior vice president,
Cloud Platform and Services, Virtustream. “With our expertise and new
enhanced services, we can help customers on their IT modernization
journey to reduce their time-to-cloud and improve application
performance.”

Highlights of Virtustream’s new and expanded offerings include the
following:

Expanded Data Migration Offerings

  • Pre-migration Data Analyses and Archiving Services: These services
    keep customers’ database footprint as small as possible, reducing the
    associated costs with database licensees, infrastructure-related costs
    and work to protect business continuity objectives.
  • Ongoing Data Management: The new service helps customers prioritize
    vast amounts of data and better apply data management techniques, such
    as archiving and off-loading, in conjunction with an SAP S/4HANA
    deployment.
  • Data Translation: As customers consider various data translation
    scenarios for managing data within SAP S/4HANA, Virtustream announced
    an SAP Data Hub offering last year at SAPPHIRE 2018 and has since
    earned an Innovation Award for its turnkey deployment of the solution.

Expanded Platform Support for SAP Applications

  • Refreshed Compute Node Offerings for SAP HANA: Virtustream has updated
    its range of offerings to feature the latest Dell EMC platforms
    leveraging Intel SkyLake processors, with more flexible compute and
    memory footprints. Expanded portfolio coverage includes SAP Data Hub,
    Anti-Virus protection services for SAP NetWeaver, and SAP Convergent
    Mediation solution by DigitalRoute.
  • Automated Full Stack Provisioning for SAP solutions: Virtustream is
    extending its application-level automation capabilities to include
    one-touch provisioning of full SAP application stacks, with embedded
    standards deployed for optimal runtime on SAP HANA.
  • Security Posture: SAP S/4HANA makes use of SAP Fiori®,
    the latest user experience from SAP utilizing a role-based,
    consumer-grade user experience. Virtustream offers an antivirus
    scanning solution specifically designed for SAP Fiori applications,
    allowing customers to extend protection into the application layer.

SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference are the world’s premier business
technology event and largest SAP customer-run conference, offering
