1.7 Build to order
You can do a
build to order
(also called
a la carte
) configuration by using the IBM
Configurator for e-business (e-config). With it, you specify each configuration feature that you
want on the system.
This method is the only configuration method for the Power E850C servers.
1.8 IBM Power Systems Solution Editions
The available IBM Solution Editions are described in the next sections.
1.8.1 IBM Power Systems Solution Editions for SAP HANA
IBM POWER8 servers are the ideal platform for running your SAP S/4HANA environment
whether on premises or in a hybrid cloud environment. Power Systems Solution Edition for
SAP HANA offers a competitively priced POWER8 server that is preconfigured to support the
deployment of SAP HANA, SAP's in-memory database. This configuration acts as an
optimized starter configuration that can be further customized for specific uses or anticipated
growth and virtualization. The high performance of the POWER8 system, including 8-way
multi-threading and high memory bandwidth, is ideal for fast in-memory processing such as
with SAP HANA. This system results in strong price/performance results, with low total cost of
ownership (TCO) and less complexity than competitive platforms. NVMe PCIe flash adapter
for HANA on Power is also being introduced on the E850C and provides IT departments with
faster data load, reduced maintenance downtime, and enhanced service levels.
