I did not have this with my past employer who expected me to always be available and even made me feel guilty for taking maternity leave.

My managers have always been very supportive. I was able to take advantage of the maternity leave program, part-time return to work programs, and vacation to care for my newborn. One of the biggest reasons woman leave the workforce is because they cannot balance caring for children and delivering on their career.

微软计划与企业软件提供商SAP签署云合作协议，联手抗衡亚马逊
在过去几年里，微软和SAP在云领域一直有合作，SAP的企业软件和服务也已经在微软的Azure上实现了运行，它在2014年曾宣布，SAP将有一批企业应用是Azure专有的。今日，微软和SAP的合作又前进了一步，他们宣布将推出新的企业产品。
Azure上的新产品SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud能让客户在微软的云端运行SAP S/4HANA。两家公司承诺，客户能够同时享用两家公司的优势产品，包括Azure智能化、可靠的云端（以及其他云服务），以及SAP的应用管理以及产品经验。微软和SAP声称，可口可乐、好市多以及Columbia Sportswear等大牌公司都是自己的客户，这些客户都非常看好这次新合作，因为它能驱动双方的云战略。
另外，两家公司还宣布，Azure上的S/4HANA将被会被用内部运营。SAP表示它会把数十个企业系统移动到Azure上，包括SAP S/4Hana等。微软表示目前正在革新自己的内部系统，它会把Azure上传统的SAP财务应用换成SAP S/4HANA Central Finance，另外它还想将SAP S/4HANA与Azure的人工智能以及分析服务相连接，这样可以使财务报告更加精准，决策更加高效。
一直以来，微软都在吸引更多软件公司来使用Azure上的产品，并试图挑战亚马逊AWS的地位，和SAP的合作只是这项战略的一部分。亚马逊在这块市场中仍然占据主要地位，它的AWS提供了100多种不同的服务。

没有赶上云计算的大潮，老牌公司 IBM 和 SAP 合作探索数字化商业之路
编者按：随着从金融到医疗保健行业的公司都在加速走向数字化，数据驱动的业务转型也正在加快步伐。但是现有的 IT 基础设施在努力跟上时代步伐的过程中依然艰辛。IBM曾是史上最伟大的公司之一，但它不是云计算领域最伟大的公司。SAP是史上最大的应用公司，但它在云领域没有取得一席之地。最近 SAP HANA 与 IBM 的 Power Systems 进行了“联姻”，这会拯救它们吗？本文首发于 MIT Technology Review Custom。
2013年，只有5%的数据是有价值的，但是到2020年，这一比例会翻一番，因为公司将新的数据源带入了新领域，而新兴的大数据分析功能可以将这些数据转化为有用的信息。事实上，根据IBM商业价值协会和牛津大学的合作研究发现，80%的CEO会根据数据得到的见解来指导决策，而积极参与分析的公司表现优于他们的竞争对手和同行的3.6倍之多。
尽管新数字时代对于那些处理复杂数据查询的公司有明显的竞争优势，但许多公司发现，他们现有的系统和IT基础设施面对所有这些数据的压力都慢慢屈服，并且不足以满足其更新的业务需求。他们需要一个从底层进行优化的平台，以实时处理大量数据的分析，并可提供当前变革速度下所需的灵活性和扩展性。
IBM-SAP联盟全球SAP解决方案执行官 Brian Burke 说：“数据量和查询的复杂性已经成为业务的绊脚石。从客户的角度来看，这真的是一场完美的风暴。”
为分析和事务提供支持
渐渐地，我们可以在下一代平台中找到解决方案，用于处理繁多的现代数字业务。SAP HANA的内存关系数据库技术和应用平台，加上IBM 的Power Systems的软件和硬件服务，可提供高级分析操作所需的高速度和优秀数据管理，甚至指出灵活、按需的容量，轻松满足不断变化的企业需求，适应持续的业务波动。
SAP HANA利用内存方法为大规模、多样化的数据集提供显著的速度优势，同样也非常适用于高级分析或作为运行诸如金融系统和客户关系管理（CRM）这样的任务关键型、事务型应用程序的平台。自从HANA在2010年首次推出以来，其采用率显著增长。美国SAP用户协会（Americas’ SAP User’s Group）调查的大约45%的受访者在2015年使用了该项技术，高于一年前的40%。根据ASUG的调查显示，在使用了SAP HANA的受访者中，23%的公司正在进行额外的项目，22%的公司计划和批准了一个或多个计划，还有31%的公司正在筹备项目，但并未提供资金。
随着越来越多的SAP HANA部署涉及24/ 7运作，企业们正在寻求一种心安理得，它来自于在可以提供可扩展性和弹性的平台上部署其关键任务系统。IBM的Burke认为，随着系统越来越复杂，数据集趋势越来越大，这样的信任水平在基于Intel x86的基础架构限制之内很难实现。
他说：“现在，你在HANA上运行事务型和任务关键型系统，你必须有一个可靠成熟的系统，不限制于它的大小。而x86的商品世界中也存在很多限制。” 他还补充道，SAP HANA 和 IBM Power Systems的结合——基于两家公司的合作伙伴关系——解决了这些问题，提供了充分利用SAP HANA解决方案所需的灵活性、弹性和性能。
IBM Power Systems for SAP HANA以多种方式兑现了其灵活性的承诺。首先，虚拟化由箱子提供支持，允许在单个的IBM Power Systems服务器上整合多个SAP HANA虚拟机，包括生产和非生产工作负载以及在系统故障时使用的虚拟系统。这种方法减少了资本支出，并确保资本没有限制。
通过动态容量大小和负载平衡等标准功能，企业可以轻松地适应IBM Power Systems for SAP HANA的环境，从而面对不断变化的业务需求和不同的业务负载。它们甚至可以将未使用的容量从生产环境重新分配到其他用途，例如开发或用户验收测试。
在弹性方面，IBM Power Systems的默认架构支持一系列企业级的可靠性功能，包括可在系统出现故障时实现高效故障转移的开箱虚拟化。还有其标准：主动警告企业的问题，以便他们可以在故障发生前启动纠正措施。
性能也是一个大问题，这不仅仅是关于分析或物联网应用程序，还有在欺诈检测或运输和物流等领域，正在迁移到SAP HANA上的任务关键型、事务型系统。IBM Power Systems提供了x86架构的四倍内存带宽，这有利于内存密集型SAP HANA操作，每个Power System处理器内核最多可以执行八个并发线程，而x86平台每个内核只有两个线程。
此外，Power Systems提供了另一优势，得益于其更大的处理器缓存。该功能确保数据连续反馈到可用的处理器，并导致其敏捷化响应能力对于大规模实时事务处理非常重要。
合作伙伴关系正在升温
这种优势组合使得IBM Power System成为博世集团即将推出的SAP HANA实施计划的最佳平台。作为全球巨头，博世集团是SAP最大的使用商之一，运行着整个应用程序组合，广泛涉足于消费品、工业技术、移动解决方案以及能源和建筑产品等行业。SAP的AIX和Linux服务器服务高级经理Erik Thorwirth说：“随着SAP的战略方向转向SAP HANA内存技术，博世计划继续跟进，并最终将其在企业资源计划（ERP）和数据仓库等领域的核心SAP应用程序与物联网应用程序一起迁移到新平台。”
由于面向过渡的SAP应用程序的广度和多样性，博世认为IBM Power Systems系列已经是其现有的SAP应用平台最好的匹配。博世的AIX和Linux高级专家Volker Fischer说：“该公司在IBM Power Systems现有的专业知识，加上平台的可扩展性和对虚拟化的内置支持，使组织能够快速部署新系统，而不需要额外的硬件或手动操作。”
Fischer解释道：“复制系统的功能只是其中一个关键特性，因为我们将把这样大量和多样化的系统组合转移到SAP HANA平台。它部署更简单，更高效，而我们的管理工作负载也会下降。”
组合平台的虚拟化功能也将轻松适应不断变化的工作负载，这在现代ERP领域会越来越重要。Thorwirth说：“我们期望未来的SAP HANA系统在规模上比传统的ERP系统更加具有变化性”。他解释：“使用SAP HANA/IBM Power Systems范例，我们无需进入数据中心并加载更多的物理内存。我们可以利用虚拟化来创建大型构建模块，这些构建模块可以根据工作负载的需要缩减或增长。”
博世可以得到的另一个好处是IBM和SAP的围绕数字化转型的合作。两个公司正以多种方式通力合作，例如在德国瓦尔多夫和加利福尼亚的帕洛阿尔托合作开发资源，以寻求共享的产品路线图。他们还提供一体化的服务和支持，确保用户不管有硬件或软件的问题都可以找到一个联系点。他们也致力于为IBM Power Systems for SAP HANA的创新而努力，尤其是在云、认知计算、客户体验和行业特定路线图等领域。
随着博世这类公司走上了数字化转型的道路，他们需要准备迎接挫折和坎坷。凭借其已有适应于现代业务转变的性能、内置弹性和灵活性，IBM Power Systems 与SAP HANA合作会是帮助企业达成目标，实现长久成功的一种选择。
