HPE CSUR Update Service for SAP HANA
HPE Lifecycle Services
Service overview
Keeping your HPE Solutions for SAP HANA® running at peak performance is critical. But maintaining the overall health and versioning of the HPE Solutions for SAP HANA infrastructure — servers, storage, and networking — as well as their associated firmware and drivers, can be daunting. The HPE CSUR Update Service for SAP HANA is a one-time technical service that provides a remote review and implementation of the available updates to drivers, firmware, and select management software for your HPE Solutions for SAP HANA. This update service takes into account the relevant revision interdependencies of the HPE Solutions for SAP HANA components.
Updates to HPE Solutions for SAP HANA are periodically necessary to keep your system up to date and are intended to help prevent issues caused by known problems and enable you to obtain product enhancements as they are made available. Specialized technical resources from Hewlett Packard Enterprise will perform the identified in-scope updates remotely, working with your organization to determine the appropriate schedule and implementation with the goal of reducing disruption to your IT environment.
