Ongekende serviceniveaus en lagere transactiekosten met nieuwe HP XML
Accelerator
AMSTELVEEN, 14 mei 2009 - HP introduceert een server-based oplossing
die zakelijke transacties die gebruik maken van de SAP NetWeaver®
Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) technologie, versnelt. De
oplossing verlaagt de technologiekosten van het datacenter tot de
supply chain door tot wel 700% verbetering; te leveren in latentie,
ofwel de tijd die nodig is om een XML bericht te verwerken.(1) De
oplossing levert bovendien tot wel 400% verhoging van productie, ofwel
het volume van het aantal verwerkte berichten.(1)
De nieuwe HP XML Accelarator is door het versneld mappen van XML
berichten van 7 tot 15 megabytes een belangrijke succesfactor voor
retailers, fabrikanten en andere bedrijven in een omgeving met veel
transacties. Voor deze klanten is het snel verwerken van zakelijke
transacties namelijk cruciaal om supply-chain efficiëntie te
realiseren en klanttevredenheid te vergroten.
De HP XML Accelerator kan bijvoorbeeld transportbedrijven helpen te
voorkomen dat transportbanden moeten vertragen door te zorgen dat
bijhorende datacollectie net zo snel plaats vindt als de activiteiten
zelf. Ook telecom providers kunnen profiteren van de HP XML oplossing
omdat het helpt klanten sneller aan te sluiten op hun netwerk. De
verbetering in beide situaties wordt tot stand gebracht door XML
transacties die komen kijken bij bedrijfsprocessen, sneller te
verwerken.
De HP XML Accelerator wordt in juli verwacht en zal wereldwijd
beschikbaar zijn. Prijsinformatie is beschikbaar via HP
accountmanagers en/of HP´s preferred partners.
Meer informatie over de HP XML Accelerator voor gebruik met SAP
NetWeaver PI is beschikbaar op www.hp.com/go/SAP/xmlaccelerator.

As the industry's only server-based XML accelerator designed to
support SAP® solution-based landscapes, the new HP Extensible Markup
Language (XML) Accelerator for use with SAP NetWeaver PI creates a
more efficient, high-performance business process. It does this by
significantly speeding up the execution of mapping programs within SAP
NetWeaver PI, and, as a result, the latency is reduced, driving faster
business value.
The HP solution lowers technology costs from the data center to the
supply chain by delivering up to a 700 percent improvement in latency,
or the length of time it takes to process a single XML message.(1) It
also provides up to a 400 percent increase in throughput, or the
volume of messages processed.(1)
This improved, predictable performance allows customers to better
handle high volume and large messages. As a result, new high-value SAP
solution-based projects can be implemented quickly to increase
efficiencies.
For example, food and beverage companies can deploy new applications
such as smart vending machines, Internet-enabled vending units that
can save the companies money on servicing their machines by reducing
costs associated with fuel, repairs, inventory and transportation.
Alternatively, utility companies can handle the increased XML traffic
from smart metering, which improves efficiency and service by reading
meters several times a day rather than once a month.
"SAP customers initiating new business processes or applications
require accelerated deployment of SAP NetWeaver PI," said Ralf
Lindenlaub, senior director, SAP NetWeaver Platform Services, Center
of Excellence, SAP AG. "Working closely with HP, we've found that the
HP XML Accelerator for use with SAP NetWeaver PI enhances business
process communication."
The HP XML Accelerator includes an HP ProLiant DL580 server running
SuSE Linux integrated with a LSI(TM) Networking Tarari® Content
Processor, a dedicated XML acceleration technology. Management
software and tools to configure the XML landscape are included to
increase the velocity of information communicated between the SAP
application and other applications. Built-in HP runtime mapper and
HP XML converter software modules automate the XML communications
process.
"Our SAP customers need a flexible and efficient messaging
infrastructure that moves at the pace of their business," said Jim
Jackson, vice president of marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP.
"In an environment where even one second can impact business, the HP
XML Accelerator for use with SAP NetWeaver PI enhances XML
communications to help customers improve business processes and,
ultimately, their bottom line."
