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.

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."

The HP XML Accelerator is expected to be available worldwide in July. Pricing information is available from local HP representatives.
