By now you may know that NEC offers a highly secure, federally compliant Infrastructure as a Service offering, hosted on NEC Nblock™ technology inside Iron Mountain’s federal government compliant data center in Pennsylvania.
What you may not know is that NEC now provides customers with an extremely secure, private, Cloud-based SAP HANA® service solution. Simply put, NEC’s IaaS solution is based on NEC’s Nblocktm technology, combined with the high security, federally compliant environment in Iron Mountain’s data center.
SAP HANA is the in-memory computing platform that delivers super-fast data crunching, more intelligence, and simplified IT environments – whether deployed on premise or in the cloud. By providing a solid foundation for all the organization’s data needs, SAP HANA also allows you to run live, with speedy data access, and without having to maintain separate legacy systems. Translation? Crunching volumes of Big Data in a SAP HANA application no longer takes hours, but rather minutes or seconds.
Now, NEC customers who are migrating to SAP HANA and have a need for highly secure data can have a single-tenant and fully managed private cloud-hosted environment with a 100% dedicated rack, solidly built on NEC’s Nblock converged infrastructure technology. All of this is hosted within an SAP HANA-certified and FISMA-compliant environment, providing one of the most hack-proof data storage, extremely high availability and secure operations platforms available today.
NEC’s Single-Source Solution for Security, Reliability and Compliance
Since SAP HANA is an in-memory platform designed to make the processing of large data volumes much faster and more efficient, NEC engineers developed an infrastructure as a service (#IaaS) blueprint specifically designed to address resource-intensive SAP HANA needs, for a true turnkey service to enterprise customers, government clients and partners.
As an SAP-certified Provider of Hosting Services, as well as Operations Services for the SAP HANA platform and Application Management Services, NEC uses a professional delivery model based on best practices for mission-critical SAP applications.

Forbes has reported that 2016 spending on public cloud IaaS hardware and software will reach $38 billion, and projected to grow to $173 billion in 2026.
These organizational responses measure more than just an IT trend. They reflect a movement toward flexibility and high security data, and the growing need for an endlessly scalable, cost effective and completely reliable IT infrastructure solution.
