Accenture has partnered with Intel to provide Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory to its SAP HANA clients. In this episode, we talk with Jolie LeBlanc, Business Strategy Manager in the Semiconductor Practice at Accenture Strategy, about the partnership, the challenges and opportunities Accenture clients face with their in-memory databases, and how Intel® OptaneTM DC persistent memory can help. As one of the first system integrators with a comprehensive understanding of how to use and manage this new technology, Accenture has a unique perspective on how SAP HANA users can capitalize on this new technology category.

The challenge many SAP HANA users face is that the ever-increasing database size drives up infrastructure costs and/or restricts users from keeping all relevant working data sets in their SAP HANA in-memory database – which limits the value users can derive from it. This is where Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory comes in.

Based on Accenture’s testing, LeBlanc describes the benefits of persistent memory for SAP HANA users, including the potential for several large data sets to fit into memory rather than storage. Accenture clients can now process data faster to achieve faster business insights. And due to persistence, there is less waiting for data loading.
