The storage as part of the appliance has some significant advantages: 1. Rapid and instantaneous deployment (preinstalled hardware and minimal configuration and integration effort) 2.Optimal performance configuration through highly integrated hardware and software setup: Only a dedicated storage subsystem can provide desired exclusive access, reliability and repeatable response times for the InfoCube indexing process. 3. Reduced cost of operation (minimized and centralized maintenance) * 3.Support only involves SAP and the HW partner, not a third party 3.
