What is the value in partnering with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP)? In an interview at the recent Hana Haus Meetup in Palo Alto, CA, John Furrier, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, asked Simon Bain, CEO of cloud search and security solutions provider SearchYourCloud, Inc., about SearchYourCloud’s relationship with SAP SE and partnering with HCP.

HCP is a stable platform

Bain explained that SearchYourCloud has a close relationship with HCP and now embeds HCP into its product.

“We are trusting someone else’s platform for our customers, and we have to know it’s there,” he said. And in over two years using HCP, neither SearchYourCloud nor their customers have had issues with downtime.

HCP is ‘blindingly’ fast

“The reason we came onto HANA is because it is a blindingly fast database,” said Bain, who described how the SearchYourCloud team has performed speed tests where they have searched 2.6 Tb of data in 2/10 of a nanosecond. “We could only do that with HANA,” he said.

Asked by Furrier to talk about the coolest thing he’s working on right now, Bain revealed how SearchYourCloud is working on a project that will give the “ability for people inside Office365 to have all their stuff encrypted and have it controlled by HCP in the backend.”

Overall, Bain is extremely happy with his experience as an HCP partner. “The vibe in the channel is really good; they put us in front of customers, and they help us with the customers,” he said.
