We chose Red Hat because our tests showed that it was the most technically proven, stable, and user-friendly operating system. For instance, we can use Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA on a server with 80 CPUs without experiencing any issues.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions provides an easy-to-use and reliable foundation for SAP HANA. Once you’ve installed it, it just runs. Installing new server instances is very straightforward. We know we can easily build a sandbox environment to explore any big changes coming in new versions of HANA. [With Red Hat Satellite] we can bundle all our server instances, whether or not they’re hosted on HANA, and install updates across all of them at the same time. It’s very fast.
Metalloinvest
Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions is the best option as the basis for the SAP landscape that we provide and support for Metalloinvest, because it establishes a fault-tolerant, high-performance infrastructure. We’re also looking at adding private cloud and network automation capabilities in the future, and Red Hat’s solutions and roadmap provide a plan for innovative new business initiatives.

We prefer open source and open standards over proprietary technologies, and we’ve had a positive experience using open source platforms on IBM hardware for many years. Both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and IBM POWER9 are based on open standards. During the testing phase, we found that the simulated response times for SAP HANA were around 20-50% faster, depending on the transaction. Now that the system has gone live, we’re achieving 30% faster database transactions.
