Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts and business leaders!
Today, we're excited to dive into a game-changing solution that's revolutionizing the way companies approach their digital transformations: SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, customer data center option (RISE PE-CDC) with Dell Technologies. Yep, you read that right—it's a mouthful, but trust us, it's worth every syllable.
Now, picture this: you're a company looking to embrace the wonders of the cloud, but you're hesitant because of those pesky high costs, rigid models, and the loss of control that can often accompany cloud transformation. Well, fear not! RISE PE-CDC is here to save the day, giving you all the perks of SAP's RISE strategy while sidestepping those pitfalls associated with traditional hyperscaler models. So, what's the big deal with RISE PE-CDC, you ask? Well, let us break it down for you.
RISE PE-CDC is like getting the best of both worlds in one neat package. With RISE PE-CDC, you can tap into SAP's innovation, embrace a cloud consumption model, and gear up for future-proof development—all while steering clear of those daunting migrations and sky-high costs.
But wait, there's more! By teaming up with Dell Technologies, RISE PE-CDC guarantees you the world's most modern and optimized data management platform. We're talking about documented cost savings of up to 30% or more, increased business performance, and lower risk—all thanks to Dell’s top-notch end-to-end stack, from compute to storage, including cybersecurity and protection.
Need some real-life examples? Look no further than one of our public sector clients in EMEA South, who recently jumped on the RISE PE-CDC bandwagon and reaped some serious benefits. Think seamless integration of existing non-SAP applications, boosted automation, improved efficiency, and a holistic view of performance—all leading to more agile decision-making and reduced costs.
But perhaps the cherry on top with regard to this solution is the promise of future support and innovation that it offers. With SAP RISE PE-CDC, enjoy ongoing support and cutting-edge advancements from both SAP and Dell Technology APEX—all while keeping your data assets safe and sound in your preferred data center.
Now, let's talk about scalability and flexibility, shall we? RISE PE-CDC blows traditional hyperscaler options out of the water, offering certified platforms that can handle even the largest HANA systems. Plus, with the new RISE Database as a Service (DBaaS) offering, scalability reaches new heights, catering to both HANA and non-HANA based applications.
And here's the kicker: integration is a breeze. RISE PE-CDC seamlessly connects with SAP's Cloud-native applications, ensuring fast and secure communication between your co-location and other SAP data centers—no hassle, no fuss.
But what about customization? Glad you asked! RISE PE-CDC offers a higher degree of flexibility compared to public cloud options and hyperscaler models, all while reaping the benefits of SAP S/4HANA's enhanced capabilities.
And let's not forget about security. With Dell's top-notch data protection capabilities and cyber vault, your data couldn't be safer. Plus, running RISE in a data center controlled by your organization means you're in the driver's seat when it comes to compliance and regulatory concerns.
So, what's the bottom line? RISE PE-CDC can accelerate your digital transformation journey, simplifying infrastructure and ensuring commonality between Edge, Core, and Cloud applications. Plus, with Dell's validated designs for AI and Edge, you'll be speeding towards success in no time.
And the best part? RISE PE-CDC reduces the need for extensive training, allowing you to adopt a Cloud consumption model without breaking a sweat. It's like having your cake and eating it too—SaaS, fully managed by SAP, so you can focus on what matters most: your core business.
In conclusion, as companies shift towards Cloud-centric strategies and embrace new agile business models, RISE PE-CDC is emerging as the ultimate solution for faster time to value, bringing benefits to SAP customers without sacrificing control, flexibility, or compliance. So why wait? Dive into the future with RISE PE-CDC and Dell Technologies, and unlock a world of possibilities.
