New HP XML Accelerator achieves unmatched service levels, lowers transaction costs for maximum business impact
Dubai, UAE: May 28, 2009 - HP today announced a first-of-its-kind server-based solution designed to dramatically speed business transactions within the SAP NetWeaver® Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) technology.
By speeding the mapping of XML messages sized from 7 to 15 megabytes, the new HP XML Accelerator can be a key element of success for retailers, manufacturers and other enterprises in high-transaction industries. For customers such as these, the rapid processing of business transactions is critical to driving supply-chain efficiencies and improving customer satisfaction.
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. 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.
"SAP customers initiating new business processes or applications require accelerated deployment of SAP NetWeaver PI," said Sergio Maccotta, Managing Director, SAP Middle East & North Africa (MENA). "Working closely with HP, we have found that the HP XML Accelerator for use with SAP NetWeaver PI enhances business process communication."
"Our SAP customers need a flexible and efficient messaging infrastructure that moves at the pace of their business," said Ryan D'souza, BCS Business Unit Manager, HP Middle East. "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."
