HP Enterprise Services today announced new services that allow clients to quickly and cost-effectively access development and sandbox environments for the SAP® ERP application via a virtual private cloud.
For many companies, SAP ERP is integral to the business. As new software features and functionality become available, IT managers are challenged to assess them without disrupting existing environments.
The HP Enterprise Cloud Services for SAP Development and Sandbox Solution combine infrastructure, software and services to provide quick access to SAP ERP 6.0 via a virtual private cloud. As a result, clients can perform prototyping to assess the software’s new functionality and determine how it can benefit their current SAP production environments.
“Many enterprises have limited capital to invest in incremental compute capacity for application development projects,” said Marshal Correia, Director, Enterprise Services, HP India. “The new HP Enterprise Cloud Services for SAP Development and Sandbox Solution give clients quick, cost-effective access to evaluate new SAP ERP application features and determine how those features can improve their business operations.”
Clients access and pay for what they need, when they need it
HP delivers these services from secure commercial data centers around the globe, where processing capacities can respond to changes in client demands and testing volumes.
With pay-per-instance per-month pricing options, clients have the flexibility to choose their most cost-efficient option. Clients also have ready access to the functionalities they require without having to make a capital investment to stage a development or evaluation environment.
