SAP HANA Evolution Story A Continuous Journey Towards Openness …
Four years ago, SAP embarked on a HANA journey using the appliance delivery model
– SAP HANA Appliance: Pre-engineered in-memory appliance that combines pre-installed HANA software components with pre-configured, SAP-certified hardware delivered by SAP’s leading partners
In 2013, SAP introduced HANA tailored data center integration delivery model (SAP HANA TDI)
– SAP HANA TDI: An alternative delivery model providing more choice to customers by allowing them to leverage their existing hardware components and operational processes to build their own HANA deployment infrastructure

SAP HANA TDI Phases
SAP HANA TDI was delivered in 4 phases with each phase further opening up HANA deployment
infrastructure: SAP HANA TDI Phase 1: Shared Enterprise Storage was first introduced in 2013 to allow customers to leverage their existing
enterprise storage for SAP HANA deployments. As of today, most of the major enterprise storage vendors have certified their
solutions for SAP HANA, providing customers with a variety of choices for designing their HANA storage landscape.
– With the HANA TDI shared storage approach, customers can combine any supported HANA compute server (either from HANA on Intel Xeon E7
Appliances site or from HANA on Intel Xeon E5 Entry-level Systems site) with the storage solution shown on the Certified HANA Enterprise
Storage site to maximize their IT landscape efficiency
SAP HANA TDI Phase 2: Shared Enterprise Networking shortly followed in 2014 to define requirements, reference architecture,
and best practices for SAP HANA networking. HANA TDI enables customers to leverage the existing networking infrastructure
and network components in their data center, such as routers, bridges, and switches for HANA cluster inter-node and cross-site
communication.
SAP HANA TDI Phase 3: Introduction of entry-level HANA E5 systems (announced with HANA SPS09) provides the more price-
sensitive customers with a new choice for HANA compute nodes based on Intel Xeon E5 commodity hardware
– Check the following site: HANA on Intel Xeon E5 Entry-level Systems for an up-to-date list of supported hardware vendors and configurations
SAP HANA TDI Phase 4: Introduction to SAP HANA, version for IBM Power Systems provides the customers who have
standardized in their data centers on IBM Power Systems with an option to leverage existing infrastructure for an easier SAP
HANA integration into their data center.
– Starting with SPS11, SAP HANA on IBM Power 8 systems is available in General Availability. (See 2188482 - SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems:
Allowed Hardware for an up-to-date list of system configurations supported with HANA on Power).

SAP HANA TDI Process
Steps to set up an SAP HANA infrastructure using the TDI approach
© 2016 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 25Public
1) Determine the size of your future SAP HANA system
SAP Quick Sizer tool is a quick and easy way for customers to
determine the CPU, memory, and SAPS requirements for running
their workloads on SAP HANA.
Consider involving SAP Active Global Support for IT landscape
planning
2) Check the offerings of SAP‘s HANA Hardware Partners
See the Certified SAP HANA Hardware Directory site
3) Order your SAP HANA server hardware
If you decided to follow the TDI approach, please note:
– You do not need to order the local disks/integrated storage - these are only
required for appliances
– If you want your SAP HANA system to boot from SAN, additional Fibre
Channel adapters are allowed
4) Check the offerings of certified storage vendors
Select one from the list of certified storage families
If your prefered storage is not yet on the list, contact the vendor on
their plans to get certified
5) Set up your SAP HANA hardware infrastructure
Make yourself familiar with SAP HANA’s IO patterns and the impact
of SAP’s data throughput KPIs during daily SAP HANA operation
Configure the storage system following the vendor’s directions and
recommendations
– Ask your storage vendor for a copy of their Configuration Guide
for SAP HANA
Optional [1] Check the data throughput and the latency times using
HWCCT
– SAP’s KPIs are listed in the tool documentation
Contact your storage vendor if the KPIs are not met
6) Install SAP HANA software
Make sure that only certified persons do the SAP HANA installation
See SAP’s installation guides and related SAP notes at
help.sap.com
7) Go Live
Consider involving SAP Active Global Support to perform a HANA
Go-Live Check prior to going productive
Going Live with SAP HANA TDIHigh-level Process
1 Running the HWCCT tests to check if the TDI setup really fulfills KPIs is not mandatory at all, but recommended. AGS would conduct such tests, anyway, in the course of their HANA Go-Live
service which they offer to all customers with Enterprise Support contract. If customers do conduct HWCCT tests, we expect them to compare the test results with our KPIs (which are published
inside the HWCCT docu in SAP Note 1943937) on their own.
