Google's X4 machine types are purpose-built to handle demanding requirements of SAP HANA dataprocessing, to support OLAP workloads and emulate cloud-native infrastructure.
Scaling SAP HANA systems with CPU and memory limitations can cause a business to upgrade to larger scale-up machines or multiple machines, eating up resources and causing downtime.
The X4 machine family is available in 16TB, 24TB and 32TB memory configurations with “standard sizing” SAP certification and scalability options.
The Google Cloud X4 machine family gains power and scale through hardware and software optimisations, and integrates with Google Cloud Hyperdisk providing high performance storage and resilient block storage.
X4 machines have a 99.95% Compute Engine Memory-Optimised Single Instance SLA and Hyperdisk, ensuring rapid SAP HANA rehydration, minimising downtime and maximising application business process uptime.
Titanium technology shifts networking and storage functions from the machine’s CPU to specialised hardware, allowing the machine’s CPU to focus on running SAP HANA applications, enhancing performance and simplifying management.
X4 machines inherit Google Cloud's robust security features, including encryption of data in transit and at rest as well as compliance with industry standards and regulations with support for Google Cloud’s Assured Workloads.
Google Cloud offers a seamless migration experience for X4, empowering SAP customers to choose between direct (BYOL) deployment model or RISE with SAP.
Google Cloud's X4 machines are cost-effective and provide a simple cloud-native experience for businesses to unleash the power of their SAP S/4HANA deployments and drive digital transformation.
The 24TB X4 machines and Hyperdisk storage are helping Deloitte, which has seen its data growth climb, raise the ceiling on its future data growth potential and look to improve performance.
