And that is what we want to show in our presentation and in the hands-on sessions at this year“s SAP TechEd conference,“ said Stoeckler. „Our strength is to react quickly to the changing needs of our clients. We are among the few data management specialists providing a link to Apache Hadoop since 2010.“ This pursuit was recognized by Gartner, as DataVard was positioned on Gartner“s June 15, 2015 „Magic Quadrant for Structured Data and Archiving and Application Retirement.“ Gartner analysts positioned DataVard the furthest for completeness of vision in the Niche Players Quadrant.

DataVard was positioned in Gartner“s Magic Quadrant as Visionary for its Data Management Suite OutBoard™.

This enables companies to reduce database volume by 40% to 50%, boost the performance of their SAP systems and simultaneously save operating costs. The solution can be linked among others, particularly to every SAP-certified database management system, SAP IQ software or Apache Hadoop, or data- or cloud-based storage systems. In addition the housekeeping tool DataVard OutBoard™ ERNA automatically eliminates unnecessary and temporary data and thus contributes to the continuous optimization of size and performance of SAP systems.
