virtualization capabilities for SAP HANA

• Deploy multiple SAP HANA databases in separate virtual

machines sharing a single physical server

• Available for non-productive implementations (test,

development, training)

• No additional SAP certification required – based on single-

node server configurations that SAP has already certified

HP ProLiant DL980 G7 PREMA ArchitectureOptimized for Virtual Workloads

NUMA Architecture

• Optimized for large scale up architectures

• Originally developed for HP Integrity servers including Superdome (32 processors)

• Optimized for consolidation with virtualization

• Workloads small enough for one processor get direct access to RAM (XXS and XS VM templates)

• Workloads small enough for two processors use QPI Island (low latency – S VM template)

• Behaves like a server within a server

Advanced HA Features

• Redundant system fabric delivers greater resiliency with redundant data paths,

dynamic routing, and rapid recovery

• VM Isolation – errors with on VM do not impact other VMs on same server

Future


Issues solved with SAP HANA future stateCurrent HANA 2.0

Each SAP application has its own

database with a substantial amount

of duplicate data

All SAP applications use a common

database eliminating duplicate data

and realizing significant cost

savings for data storage

Data must be copied between

databases to keep them

synchronized

Any change made by any

application is automatically visible to

all other applications, eliminating the

need to synchronize data

Data is often represented in different

ways in the various databases

necessitating solutions like MDM

All data is stored in a single

database increasing accuracy and

eliminating the need for

transformation and/or cleansing


Challenges introduced with SAP HANA future

stateChallenge HP Solution

Need for high performance due to

increased workload for database

compared to traditional

architectures

High performance disk array and

clustered fileservers offload work

from SAP HANA servers and

modular design ensures that IO

performance matches increases in

CPU and RAM capacity

Failure of the HANA database

causes failure across the entire SAP

landscape

Improved and more flexible

application failover due to true

shared filesystem

Increased requirement for disaster

tolerant architectures

SAP System Replication forms the

basis for metropolitan and distance

disaster tolerant architectures

Top 5 Market Differentiators

Market Differentiators for HP

1. Equipment designed to work together - No third-party dependencies

HP utilizes HP computing, networking and storage equipment that is designed to work together and reduces support complexity.

A single HP technician can solve any question related to hardware, where competition needs to send several people.

2. Performance proven by BW-EML Benchmark

HP has the only certified result in the Enhanced Mixed Load Benchmark (EML) using SAP HANA as the database server.

3. Disaster tolerance and recovery solution ready to go

HP was first to the market with a scale-out solution involving mirroring with second site. The solution is tested and validated with

SAP and already certified at time of release of this competitive analysis.

4. One-stop support services in close cooperation with SAP

HP offers one-stop support services closely aligned with SAP. HP also handles support for servers and storage in one single team.

So it is a seamless process and HP is able to manage all support directly.

5. Long and lasting relationship and experience with SAP

HP has a straight forward strategy for in-memory computing with SAP, with a long experience with Business Warehouse

Accelerator (BWA) and now with SAP HANA (using the same concepts: blades and SAN storage).

For a long time HP has been a trusted SAP hardware partner.
