SAP HANA: A New Kind of Architecture• Primary persistence
• Resides in memory
• Holds contents of tables (data and undo log)
• Transaction log• Tracks all changes
• Gets written to disk when full or transaction commits
• Uses sequential writes (1 MB block size)
• Save point• Stores complete image of in-memory database
• Updates regularly (default: every 5 minutes)
• Uses random writes (variable block sizes)

Disaster Tolerance Configuration• Production SAP HANA storage replicated to second side
• Non-production storage installed at second side
• Service profiles communicate with associated storage• Production to production storage, non-production to non-production storage
• Switch over time• Shutdown of non-production system (hard: 1 minute, graceful: 2-15 minutes)
• Import and activate production configuration: 5-15 minutes
• Boot all operating systems: 3 minutes
