Running SAP HANA is undoubtedly a sound business decision, but not enough thought is given to the platform being run on. Most people think of the infrastructure as a box to be added to the hardware pool. But not all platforms are born equal.

IBM’s Power Systems bring to the table a radically different approach to the way SAP HANA is being used. There are significant benefits in the flexibility, cost of operation and the performance delivered by the IBM solution, as well as future options for growth compared to the traditional x86 servers.

This free webinar goes in depth, detailing the ways in which the Power architecture delivers benefits across the board.

Benefits of Running SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems

Rapid Deployment. Flexible Frameworks. Blazing Performance. 

Though much is made of the potential of Deep learning, architecting and deploying a Deep Learning platform is a daunting proposition, especially when trying to leverage the latest GPUs and I/O technologies. 

By attending this webinar, you'll learn about: 

• Implementation Hurdles - We'll provide an overview of avoidable hurdles associated with why Deep Learning initiatives, especially with newer accelerated (GPU) architectures. 
• Comparing Common Frameworks - We'll compare and contrast popular Deep Learning architecture(s) and tools might be useful for your organization, to assist you in choosing the one that's most appropriate. 
• Performance Considerations - Explore the unprecedented Deep Learning performance gains that are possible, utilizing POWER8 with NVLink, along with the NVIDIA P100 GPU.

Deploy Deep Learning rapidly, with IBM GPU Accelerated Systems

According to IDC, only IBM Power Systems servers are designed specifically to work with data-intensive workloads such as SAP HANA. 

Organizations that have the most to gain using SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems are:

• Businesses with SAP HANA appliances due for a refresh
• Organizations on commodity architecture moving to SAP HANA
• Businesses with a traditional database and SAP applications on IBM Power Systems
• Businesses on IBM Power Systems that currently do not have SAP

This webinar featuring IDC Research Analyst Peter Rutten's details the findings and how using IBM Power Systems can reduce migration risks and broaden your options for a hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Join IBM, NVIDIA, and Google to explore Distributed Deep Learning.  

Beyond prototypes, organizations looking to put Deep Learning into production need AI infrastructures than can reliably keep pace with the speed of their businesses. Distributed Deep Learning extends training across multiple nodes, thereby enabling implementations with considerably more scale and performance than was possible with a single node.This session will explore Distributed Deep Learning concepts, with an emphasis on how these concepts can be applied to solve real-world problems. 

By attending this webinar, you'll learn about:

• Introduction to Distributed Deep Learning – We’ll kick off the session with an overview of what distributed Deep Learning is and why it matters.
• Distributed Approaches - We'll compare various approaches to distributed training: model- and data parallelism, parameter servers, asynchronous and synchronous training, and graph replication approaches.
• Performance Breakthroughs – We’ll explore the unprecedented Deep Learning performance gains that are possible, by combining POWER8 with NVLink, along with the NVIDIA P100 GPU and the latest Distributed TensorFlow builds.

Best practices in Deep Learning implementations

To meet growing demand for a flexible shopping experience, Coop Group wanted to offer click-and-collect services. To support changing shopping styles, Coop Group expanded its business model, using near real-time insight into orders and inventory to increase customer satisfaction. Based on this experience, Coop Group chose to migrate its SAP HANA systems to the IBM Power Systems platform, to improve capacity, scalability and performance.

Improve Customer Satisfaction with More Flexible & Convenient Shopping Services

Bosch relies on Power Systems for the scalability & reliability needed to run SAP HANA, allowing quick reaction to changing client demands.

AI is one of the most significant disruptors coming to all industries, but as interesting as it sounds, there is little clarity into how it works and what it can deliver.

Most organisations are considering using it, but don’t know where to start. The first step is always the most important. 

We’d like to help remove the uncertainty and empower you to be the agent of change.

Our webinar, explains how AI can benefit your business, the common ways you can implement it, as well as the unique way in which IBM PowerAI allows you to quickly get started from concept to production.
