Im Backend Bereich sind signifikante Verbesserungen der Ladezeiten zu erreichen.

Hierbei muss allerdings differenziert werden in welchem Maße ein Prozess des Ladevorgangs auf dem Datenbankserver selbst ausgeführt wird und ob es z.B. aufgrund von User Exits (Kundenerweiterungen) in den Transformationen zu einer Verlagerung auf den Applikationsserver kommt.

Performance Improvement Backend


The right mix of technologies + In memory: approx 10 times faster (Any DB becomes faster if you run it in memory)

+ column orientation for analytics: 100 times faster (disk based Sybase IQ is approx 100 times faster than traditional DB)

+ optimization for the Intel E7 Cache structure (tests on E5 show approx 20% less performance)

+ high throughput low latency network interconnects  Cisco provides extreme high throughput + extreme low latency


•  In memory make only read faster

(Transactions have still be written to storage to become persistent)

•  Transactional applications need row store

(“traditional” databases are already row based)

 On-line transactions will not be much faster

 However: •  Real-time business intelligence instead the truth of yesterday

•  No need to transload data from ECC and CRM to BW

•  Fast ad-hoc analytics on source data

•  Best of both worlds: two databases under one hood


•  Delivered like a instant soup: power up, add license, consume •  Not meant to fit to individual customer datacenter standards:

Only Intel E7 CPUs and Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 Switches and storage, even the rack is a part of the appliance No 3rd party tools are supported on HANA nodes (only on your own risk)

•  not an island but an alien in most datacenter’s •  No resource sharing with other applications, no multi-tenant

Server, Network and Storage resources are dedicated for SAP HANA one Appliance per productive HANA System (SID)

•  only QA and DEV can share the same server (with sufficient resources). •  As soon the appliance is handed over to the customer it has to be

maintained and patched like any SAP system •  Cisco remote HANA Operation Service offering

With Intel® Xeon® Processors


•  Only non-Production deployments on certified scale-up single hardware

•  Maximum 256 GB per HANA (the technical limit of VMware 5)

•  No over provisioning for memory and/or CPU

•  No support for VMware HA solutions (Vmotion)

•  No mix of HANA and 3rd party SW on same server (for example BW app servers and BW HANA DB on same server in dedicated VMs)

•  In general SAP see no benefit from running HANA on VM, they just support it as an alternative to multi-SID setups

UCS HA Advantages •  Stateless blades can replace a failed one in minutes -> OS, profiles

and all data are in UCS Manager and Storage level

•  Real-time monitoring without additional software, through UCS Manager

•  NFS offers high availability possibilities, without hanging the whole landscape (risk of clustered file system)

•  HA is not just about failing blades: every component in the solution is HA (blades, storage, network)

•  Failing storage ports can be repaired in minutes, as Unified Fabric can allocate any port to do any job on the fly

•  Exceptional HA features on the storage side, extended by in-house knowledge of standard storage systems

  Unified computing reduce # components to be managed, consume energy and possibly fail

  Very large scale HANA across multiple without increasing IO latency (single hop)

  Stateless Computing make Servers freely interchangeable

  Service profiles enable move of appliance between datacenter without heavy scripting

  Servers in 2nd datacenter used for Dev/QA
