These engineers have demonstrated their abilities in this new technology, passing demanding, process-oriented exams and are now certified as application associates for SAP HANA.

Deploying SAP applications with more choice, confidence, consistency in the cloud
New HP Enterprise Cloud Services for SAP applications offer an end-to-end suite of cloud-based services that enable clients to make the best decisions for their organizations related to deploying production versions of SAP applications. These new services are a full and integrated continuum of advisory, transformation and management services that help ensure a customer's journey to the cloud is addressed at every step.

HP Enterprise Cloud Services for SAP applications include:

• Application transformation services that provide the tools and proven methodologies to move and/or transform SAP applications to a cloud-based model. Integration services enable SAP applications -- whether run in a cloud-based model, traditional data center environment, on a client's premises, with a business partner or with mobile applications -- to integrate with legacy applications.
• Deployment automation for customers who want to move their production portfolio of SAP solutions to a managed application model. HP provides all the services to support and maintain SAP applications in a cloud-based model with service levels and costs that are competitive in the IT industry.
• HP Enterprise Cloud Services - Virtual Private Cloud offers an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for clients who want to move to a delivery model that focuses on lowering their overall total cost of ownership and provides the flexibility to move into a pay-per-usage capacity model, based on their demand cycles.
• SAP Applications Platform as a Service (APaaS) provides customers with application management support and maintenance, including support of configurations, interfaces and master data.

HP manages the entire IaaS stack with an enterprise-class service level agreement (SLA) that provides industry-leading high availability and the option for HP to manage the entire cloud stack. This includes management, monitoring and operations of the IT landscape from the infrastructure servers, storage, security and network up to and including the Basis application layer. The application management layer (also called Applications as a Service) completes the ecosystem and is integrated on top of the HP Enterprise Cloud Services - Virtual Private Cloud.

HP Enterprise Cloud Services for SAP applications is a comprehensive, consumption-based, end-to-end approach for the delivery of an SAP solution-based cloud ecosystem. It offers clients high availability and the ability to scale to need, including a wide range of database and migration services to speed return on their investment.
