To meet the growing demand for locally hosted cloud services in South Africa, SAP Africa in partnership with Dimension Data have announced the launch of an SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (SAP HEC) service, offering the market real-time technology capabilities enabled by SAP HANA - SAP's in-memory platform - available through a consumption-based cloud model.
The launch in Africa follows other successful events across the globe including Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, Russia, The Netherlands and the USA. This is the first cloud service of its kind in South Africa specifically designed to support both local and multinational customers for whom hosting data off-shore is problematic.
