The initial setup is very easy. We deployed this in two days, including installation, system setup, firmware upgrades, configuration, and network connection. By the next day, we were already deploying virtual machines. We initially began with the Blade system. As the migration to SAP HANA approached, it seemed prudent to upgrade our hardware. Consequently, we facilitated their transition from the Blade system to Synergy. Subsequently, we collaborated closely with the SAP consultancy company to oversee the migration process, ensuring seamless integration of all workloads and sub-environments. We have four people working on the deployment, including a project manager, two specialists, and one tech support.

The composable infrastructure allows you to build and stack a lot of shared capacity to create a package solution. Bandwidth possibilities for connecting are great and composability allows you to work with the compute nodes to choose phone panels and devices. Orchestrating automations is easy because you can connect to other tools with the REST API and automate components. The solution is written in simple nodes so it can be used for many things. The blade server has great performance.
