HANA is a database with in-memory performance capabilities.

For SAP and their customers, it is a revolutionary platform.

Most deployments since launch, have been as a dedicated Appliance.

Appliance – pre-engineered combination of network, storage, compute.

Tailored Datacenter Integration offers flexible deployment.

IT centers would like to integrate HANA onto infrastructure and capacity they may already own. TDI allows for this.

Quick background, What is SAP HANA, TDI?


TDI Customer Benefits

Leverages existing storage and network investment in people, process and equipment:

Reduces hardware and operational costs by reusing existing hardware components and operation processes

Can optimize time-to-value by using existing IT Management processes for SAP HANA implementations

Provides more flexibility in hardware vendor selection and leverages their existing ecosystem

This gives you an advantage when you have existing enterprise storage and/or Cisco networking capacity.


Multiple potential use cases:

• Utilize existing datacenter SAN

• Multiple HANA production systems (hosting, cloud)

• Utilize existing datacenter 10GB network

• Run SAP HANA together with other applications on shared infrastructure

Appliance TDI

Pre-Engineered, Optimized, Pre-Certified solution with Delivery and Reactive Support Services

Customer owns Engineering, Certification/Validation, Delivery and all Support coordination activities

All specified components are required to maintain certification

Customer replaces “appliance” storage and/or network with pre-validated Enterprise Storage or Network

SAP or Cisco first point of contact for solution support

Customer owns solution support. SAP & Cisco provide component-level support

Customer adopts new life cycle management capabilities for appliance

Customer leverages existing storage investment in people, process and equipment

Installed by Cisco or validated partner

Installed by SAP HANA Certified self or SAP HANA Certified installation partner

Note: TDI Network is in ramp. Must be accepted by SAP & Cisco


Rules and Responsibilities with SAP HANA TDI

• Server: Only servers listed in the SAP HANA Product Availability Matrix are supported.

• Storage: All storage devices must have successfully passed the hardware certification for SAP HANA. A list of storage resources certified for SAP HANA TDI can be found http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-48516.

• SAP HANA Installation: SAP Certified Technology Specialists must perform the installation. Cisco is certified to perform these installations.

• Customer: The SAP HANA TDI solution is owned and supported by the customer, end to end, including design, implementation, certification, and support. Cisco and its partners can help you through any or all of these phases with Cisco Advanced Services for SAP HANA TDI

RDBMS

SAP App

SAP transactions are processedNew sales orders, customer/supplierChanges in company data is collectedSAP update process sends commits for these data changes to RDBMSNetwork I/O as App communicates with DB

SAP App

Network

SAP transactions are processed, queries are run. In many use cases, SAP is near real-time synchronizing various business data into HANANetwork I/O as App and synch processes are continuously refreshing data

Data commits are issued to memory

HANA also has data calculation engines. This means data changes will occur at this layer and issue commits without delay from the AppHANA logs these commits in memory to diskStorage I/O is generated, lots of it.HANA continuously logs data changes occurring in memory. Also, every 300 seconds, it is writing a server memory image to disk



• Utilize existing datacenter SAN

• Multiple HANA production systems (hosting, cloud)

• Utilize existing datacenter 10GB network
