What is In-Memory Computing? In-memory computing moves data and information sources from remote databases into local memory so that results of analyses and transaction are available immediately
• Answer Any Question Immediately – Factor x100.000 Faster Analytics
• Access Current and Complete Information – Real-Time Access to Transactional Data
• Discover Deeper Insights – Eliminate aggregation to interrogate granular data
• Manage Large Data Volumes Cost Effectively – Groundbreaking In Memory HW Innovations

SAP HANA Scale-out • Simple
– No SAN required because of IBM’s General Parallel File System – Expand database by adding nodes with GPFS – One part number ordering for each node (stand-alone or scale-out)
• Seamless – Highly Available through IBM GPFS (HA)
• Optimizes system availability – Intelligent Cluster integrated packaging and assembly
• Speeds installation and deployment • Reduces implementation risk
– Installation and managed services • Speeds installation • Ensures skills transfer • Simplifies on-going maintenance
• Scalable – Scale to 56 TB and larger using IBM GPFS*
• Supports large database requirements – Validated by SAP
• 4 Node x3690 X5 and x3950 X5 • 16 Node x3950 X5 with HA*

GPFS: A Scalable File-‐system for Shared Nothing Architectures
Key Ideas: • Locality • Write Affinity • Metablocks • Pipelined replicaDon • Distributed recovery
Cluster: thousands of nodes, fast reliable communicaDon, common admin domain. Shared disk: all data and metadata on disk accessible from any node, coordinated by distributed lock service. Parallel: data and metadata flow to/from all nodes from/to all disks in parallel; files striped across all disks.

SAP HANA Appliance – Scale Out with High Availability
30
GPFS Hightlights • GPFS is a scalable, robust high performance file system with enterprise features • GPFS provides performance advantages with todays SAP HANA standalone solutions
(no need for additional hardware like disks, SSD, flash memory, SAN adapters to parallelize data access for performance)
• GPFS provides non-disruptive upgrade paths on standalone and scaleout solutions • The IBM Workload Optimized Solutions for SAP HANA are based on local storage devices
clustered with GPFS – no need for high performance storage attachments • A Shared Nothing Cluster (SNC) based on GPFS will provide the capabilities to support High
Availability and Disaster Recovery in a scaleout environment: – N-way pipelined replication
– Metablocks
– Write Affinity
– Locality Awareness • GPFS-FPO has been proven in High Performance Computing large cluster
implementations, with striped data on shared local disks, and large numbers of parallel data streams
• Public GPFS Wiki
31
Disaster Recovery
• Discuss RTO and RPO requirements: – RTO – Recovery Time Objective: duration of time and a service level within which a
business process must be restored
– RPO: Recovery Point Objective: maximum tolerable period in which data might be lost
• What is the distance between the two datacenter locations? – Only if the distance (and latency) allows, a synchronous replication solution is helpful
Campus and metro setup will work synchronously Several hundred or thousand kilometers require asynchronous solutions

IBM SAP HANA Highlights
• IBM is in the leading position with SAP HANA and PoC projects (over 50% market share).
• The SAP AG itself in Walldorf developed SAP HANA software on IBM x3950 X5 systems and is due to the development activities for HANA even the largest customer for IBM System x-based HANA systems.
• IBM HANA offerings are developed with the active participation of our IBM SAP HANA development team, which is working closely with the development teams of SAP.
• Simple, Seamless, Scalable ! The IBM SAP HANA solution has no single point of failure !
• The first 16TB cluster that SAP has certified, consisted of IBM System x servers.
• The first cluster of 100TB SAP, presented at SAPPHIRE 2012, consisted of 100 IBM x3850 servers Size L, now it was extended to 150TB.
• GPFS - The main differentiators in the market for IBM SAP HANA solutions The IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) was originally developed to meet the availability requirements
of the media industry and the high-performance computing requirements of the natural sciences and has developed since its market introduction in 1997 for more and more applications.

Why IBM for your HANA Implementation
• IBM uses the same base building blocks from standalone servers to scale-out - Less Complex • IBM doesn't require external storage and no cluttery full mesh connections between compute and storage nodes. No
need to reconnect LUNs to standby nodes - all covered by GPFS-FPO under the hood – Lower Cost • IBM's solution can easily grow - just hook up a new node to the 10GbE/1GbE Ethernet, expand the shared file
system, and make it available to the SAP HANA database Simple – Less Management • IBM supports seamless growth from 2 sockets to 4 and 8 sockets and scale-out –
Less complex, performance @ best TCO • IBM's solution is certified for up to 16x nodes - and can even grow beyond of that – Lower Risk • IBM offers 'SLES for SAP Applications' with SUSE 3 year priority support and extended long term support -
Lower Risk • IBM includes the newest HDD and flash drive technology offering the best performance and capacity –
Performance @ best TCO • IBM provides the complete infrastructure for system management, monitoring, system backup & restore –
Lower Risk, Lower Cost • IBM provides installation, maintenance, and business services to accompany customers from initial assessment
workshops, through Proof of Concepts, and finally to production – Lower Risk, Lower Cost
