HPE infrastructure for SAP: overview
Many companies keep SAP on-premise for data residency, latency or cost reasons. The infrastructure under SAP HANA has to be sized and configured for it, and the people who install the hardware should understand what runs on top. We combine both: HPE infrastructure from an HPE Partner, and the SAP Basis team that installs and runs the SAP systems on it.
Who it is for
- Companies keeping SAP on-premise for data residency or cost reasons

How FCC supports HPE infrastructure for SAP
Farrenio Cloud Control watches the host layer (CPU, memory, disk) together with SAP HANA and the SAP application, so capacity problems on the hardware are visible before users feel them.
HPE infrastructure for SAP: frequently asked questions
Is Farrenio an HPE partner?
Yes. Farrenio is an HPE Partner and delivers Hewlett Packard Enterprise infrastructure for SAP landscapes.
Do I need certified hardware for SAP HANA?
SAP supports SAP HANA in production on certified appliances or on certified components under the Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI) approach. We size and configure within SAP's support rules.
Can you combine on-premise and cloud?
Yes. A common pattern is production on-premise and non-production or disaster recovery in the cloud. As an HPE Partner and AWS Authorized Reseller, we can design either side.
Can you also take over SAP Basis support on the new hardware?
Yes. Many clients combine the infrastructure project with our SAP Basis managed service, so one team owns the whole stack.
Do you work remotely or on site?
Most SAP Basis work is delivered remotely over secure connections, and we come on site when a project needs it. Our base is in Corbeanca, Ilfov, near Bucharest, and we work with companies across Romania and Europe.
How is the work priced?
We quote after a short landscape review: a fixed price for clearly defined projects, or a monthly fee for managed services, based on the number of systems and the service level you need.
