CIO's are finding themselves at the end of their technological rope he said. Delayed buying decision, have left them with geriatric server, storage and networking infrastructure.
WFTCloud has developed a Private Cloud Solution specifically for SAP that aims to meet those needs. Created collaboratively with SAP and leading vendors in this field, this private cloud solution for SAP can dramatically shorten the time to provision new SAP landscapes from days to hours. What’s more, because it is run in the cloud, the solution can reduce costs while improving scalability, flexibility and recovery of systems.

WFT executed more than 10+ implementations of vBlock SAP Private cloud in the industry.

"The vBlock platform from VCE is a great example of achieving higher performance for SAP at a lower cost," he said.
