With IBM Power Systems and PowerVM virtualization, we can
provision resources much more efficiently. Today, we can simply spin
up new logical partitions as and when needed, making the process of
provisioning new SAP HANA systems up to 20 times faster

Scale SAP HANA affordably
• Get cloud like economics on-premises with
flexible pay-per-use models
• Allocate the precise capacity you need with
granular allocations – 0.01 core, 1 GB
• Deploy in a hybrid cloud environment with
choices of off-prem cloud – Power Virtual
Server, IBM Cloud or SAP HEC
Using Power Systems the cost for HANA landscape just drops by 50%

• DRAM is split into two regions DRAM1

• DRAM2 is presented as PMEM device
• DRAM2 region is initialized with Main
region when it is added for the first time
• Data written from DRAM2 to data volume
after delta merge (creates new main)
• Changes to database continuously
logged to Log volume
• Restart of HANA or Linux do not require
