Case Study: Cloud4com achieves high-performance SAP HANA-as-a-service and regional IaaS leadership with NetApp

Stay Ahead of the Pack with NetApp for SAP HANA in the Cloud and Data Fabric

Cloud4com, a leading Czech infrastructure-as-a-service provider, needed to move beyond basic cloud backups to offer high‑performance, low‑latency services—specifically SAP HANA as a service—while meeting strict performance and uptime SLAs to win larger enterprise customers. The challenge was to deliver SAP HANA on demand alongside existing block/file storage, virtual backup, and multitenant cloud services without sacrificing scalability or robustness.

Cloud4com built the service on NetApp technology—EF560 all‑flash arrays for SAP HANA plus FAS2000 systems with ONTAP, SANtricity and partner ALEF—ensuring each server had low‑latency flash access and secure multitenancy. The result: a market‑leading SAP HANA IaaS offering, more than 500 TB of NetApp storage, stronger enterprise wins, expanded backup and hybrid‑cloud capabilities, and a clear competitive advantage in the region.
