SAP HANA on VMware Production Environments

To empower customers to innovate, simplify and move toward a software-defined data center architecture, SAP AG and VMware announced on May 06,2014, that the SAP HANA platform on VMware vSphere® 5.5 for production use has been released to customers. By combining the power of SAP HANA with VMware vSphere 5.5, a foundational component of VMware vCloud® Suite, you can innovate and simplify their data centers by achieving faster time-to-value, higher service levels and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
