SALT LAKE CITY, May 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fusion-io
(NYSE: FIO) today announced that its all-flash Fusion ION
Accelerator version 2.3 is now certified by SAP as an enterprise
storage solution for the SAP HANA® platform. Using Fusion ION
Accelerator with SAP HANA helps customers maximize mission- and
business-critical application performance for data-intensive
workloads. This certification enables Fusion-io to participate in
SAP's program for SAP HANA-tailored data center integration using
its certified solution. Through participation in the program,
customers can leverage their existing hardware and infrastructure
components for their SAP HANA-based environments, providing further
choice for organizations even when working in heterogeneous
environments.
Powered by Fusion ioMemory, Fusion ION Accelerator delivers the
reliability, breakthrough performance, and high-availability
standards required for mission-critical use cases of SAP
HANA. Advances in mobile, cloud
and big-data technologies require companies to analyze data, make
decisions and innovate faster. SAP HANA converges database and application
platform capabilities in memory to transform transactions and
analytics so businesses can operate in real time. Fusion ION
Accelerator easily integrates with IT architectures as a supported,
reliable and highly available shared storage environment for
customers seeking to add a flash performance tier for their
deployments of SAP HANA.
Fusion ION Accelerator is a record-breaking, all-flash storage

storage solutions for SAP HANA. We
are thrilled at this latest key technology accomplishment."
Fusion ioMemory increases transactional database performance and

and better SAN utilization. Fusion ION Accelerator delivers
