SAP HANA TDITAILORED DATACENTER INTEGRATION WITH EMC

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

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

WHY THE CONCERN?COMPARING – I/O BEHAVIOR SAP/RDBMS AND SAP/HANA

Compute

Network

Storage

RDBMS

SAP App

SAP transactions are processed

New sales orders, customer/supplier

Changes in company data is collected

SAP update process sends commits

for these data changes to RDBMS

Network I/O as App communicates

with DB

RDBMS commits to disk the new data

Database files are written

Logs are written for rollback

Storage I/O as DB server writes to disk

Network

Database tables and log volumes are

updated

SAP App

Network

SAP transactions are processed,

queries are run. In many use cases,

SAP is near real-time synchronizing

various business data into HANA

Network 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 App

HANA logs these commits in memory

to disk

Storage 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

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
