Designed for faster and non-disruptive move to RISE with SAP
For over half a century, enterprises have used IBM's infrastructure to host their mission-critical SAP systems for round-the-clock operations and safeguarding sensitive business data. As the next step to help accelerate their move to Cloud ERP, IBM and SAP have launched new hyperscaler option for SAP Cloud ERP Private, using the RISE with SAP methodology.
