SAP is the trusted provider of ERP, finance, and supply chain applications that run much of the world’s critical operations. However, many organizations have data that is spread across SAP, non-SAP, cloud, and on-premises systems, which hinders performance and usability. In this post, we will explain how SUSE and Denodo, working together, create a powerful foundation for SAP, one that enables organizations to unlock its full potential.
SUSE, the Foundation
SUSE provides SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, a premier operating system for SAP. This SAP-certified operating system provides up to 99.999% uptime and improves automation performance across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. SUSE offers enterprise-grade Linux solutions that are specifically optimized for accommodating the most demanding of SAP workloads.
Denodo, Unifying the Data
The Denodo Platform leverages a logical data management strategy, enabled by data virtualization, to connect distributed data in real time, without requiring data to first be replicated into a common repository. It establishes a unified data layer that connects SAP and non-SAP systems, eliminating data silos, to enable the most effective decisions and the most efficient operations. Leveraging the Denodo Platform to unify the data, enterprises can reduce the need for traditional, batch-oriented data integration approaches, such as extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes. By establishing a virtual layer above the physical data sources, this logical approach also facilitates cloud migrations and data infrastructure modernizations. The Denodo Platform is fully certified on SUSE Linux, bringing the operating system and the logical platform together to form a strong solution for SAP.
SUSE and Denodo
SUSE and Denodo provide organizations with the power to unlock the full power of their SAP environments. Organizations can simplify their deployments and operations, while establishing secure, well-automated, and highly flexible data management infrastructure, one that lets business users put all of their data to work, regardless of where the source data resides.
The integration of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, the Denodo Platform, and SAP can lead to faster procurement decisions, reduced costs, and seamless SAP and non-SAP system integration. Business users gain access to trusted, real-time data, for enhanced agility and a more collaborative, data-driven culture.
For SAP, Denodo and SUSE enable:
-
- Improved Overall System Responsiveness. The infrastructure is optimized, providing real-time data access across distributed data sources.
- Simplified Operations, with automated deployments, streamlined patching, and centralized data access.
- Real-Time Dashboards and Reporting. Enabled without data duplication, these powerful features support faster, better decisions, enhanced agility, and operational excellence.
- Enhanced Data Governance and Data Security. SUSE facilitates compliance and enables robust security via Common Criteria EAL 4+ and SLSA 4, while the Denodo Platform enables real-time data governance and access control across all applicable platforms, without requiring data to be copied. Working together, the Denodo Platform and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications provide unmatched enterprise and supply-chain protection.
- Scalability and Flexibility. SUSE and Denodo technology is cloud-agnostic and modular, and provide full support for SAP-certified best practices. They are both seamlessly adaptable as technology, compliance, or business needs evolve.
Moving Forward
By integrating SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications with the Denodo Platform, organizations can unlock the full potential of their SAP environments. This powerful SUSE/Denodo foundation enables organizations to gain real-time insights across SAP and non-SAP systems, with the speed, security, and scalability needed in today’s demanding data landscape.
