serviceability) characteristics to support mission

critical SAP applications

PerformanceHighest throughput per core and core/memory

bandwidth to deliver faster business results, up to

2x Intel-based alternatives

Competitive Cost

Best infrastructure to achieve scalability,

response time and throughput requirements

– Additional headroom for peak workload

due to virtualization capabilities

Reliable infrastructure for enterprise

applications

Risk-free sizing and implementation

– Dynamically adjust sizing to

changing requirements

– Grow number of systems and sizes

on demand while project advances

TCA: competitive to x86

TCO: better than x86

Solitaire Analyst ReportSAP HANA on IBM POWER

Deploy SAP applications in as little as 1/3 the time, compared to Intel x86 infrastructure“The optimizations built into the POWER platforms augment provisioning, testing, and other factors to produce agility that averages as little as 36.3% of those required by other platforms …”

Actual production cost variance on IBM POWER server is 9 times more accurate compared to Intel x86

“The large majority of IBM SAP HANA quotations show a smaller variance between the initial sizing and the actual deployment than other vendors, with the average variance for IBM being only 2.86%. This accurate sizing and cost projection provides the organization with a

significant advantage in budget compliance ”

What is SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC)?

SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is a private cloud offering by SAP. It allows

customers and partners to deploy HANA application, SAP ERP, CRM, SAP BW

etc. in their private cloud, which is fully managed and supported by SAP.

SUSE + IBM Power System

• One Source – Multiple TargetsPortability and Development with Linux on Power

• SAP HANA on SUSE Linux Enterprise

for IBM Power Systems

• Big Data Analytics & AI

Porting Linux applications to Power Systems is quick and easyLeverage a larger ecosystem of Linux applications

Most applications port with a simple recompile and test

• 95% of Linux on x86 applications written in C/C++ port to Linux on Power

with no source code change, just a simple recompile and test1

– Canonical reported an average of 250 open source applications ported

per day on Ubuntu. 95% of the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS compiled software ported

with a simple recompile and test

• 100% of hardware agnostic Linux on x86 applications written in scripting

(Java) or interpretive languages will run as is with no changes2

• IBM is committed to further simplifying porting and development

on Linux on Power

– Embrace open standards and partner with open communities such as

OpenPOWER, OpenStack, Ubuntu, and Cloud Foundry

– New tooling and function such as BlueMix

– Provide easier means to build apps leveraging existing code in the open

communities

1. Includes C/C++ and other compiled languages. Assumes 16 hours of dedicated time and prior experience with the application code and its dependencies (e.g. language, libraries, web application, database) and that dependencies already

ported and installed. Assumes no platform or device specific dependencies.

2. Interpretive languages include PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, Java, etc. Assumes 8 hours of dedicated time and prior experience with the application code and its dependencies (e.g. language, libraries, web application, database) and that

dependencies already ported and installed. Assumes no platform or device specific dependencies.
