WHY SAP HANA? NEW AND ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY

WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IN HANA


HANA BUSINESS FUNCTION LIBRARIES (BFL) FOR ACCELERATION

 For data-intensive applications, ~90% of runtime is spent on transferring data between the database and application server

è Large data volume transferred è Processing only on Application Server

è Optimized processing directly on HANA Platform with BFLs è Minimal data transfer (result only)


WHY IS STORAGE RELEVANT WHEN I HAVE AN IN-MEMORY DATABASE ?


WHY DOES HANA NEED ALL FLASH STORAGE ?


SAP HANA – RECOVERY FROM ALL FLASH STORAGE Failover Recovery: Host Auto-Failover

•  Storage array integration required (file access and fencing)

•  Pure’s Storage Arrays are fully integrated!


Data reduction  Used 500GB TPC-H Data

 Data Reduction across Data volumes is – 1.9 to 2.3:1 with 100% column store

•  Data in column tables can have a two-fold compression:

•  Dictionary compression •  Advanced compression

•  Row stores are not compressed on SAP HANA®

Data reduction increases as row store size increases.

SAP HANA – Dynamic Tiering (DT)

•  Data Temperature Concept

•  Reduce hardware (memory) and license cost

•  Increase SAP HANA adoption rate

•  Easy setup and maintenance


SAP HANA DT - Performance

•  Comparison Oracle vs SAP HANA: ~13.9x better performance*

•  Overall Performance (25 HANA/75 DT)

10.42x SAP HANA vs. Oracle


MODERNISING SAP ECC TODAY - WHY AND HOW ?


Current Constraints •  SAP People Costs High

•  System Copy Very Slow

•  Data Centre and Power Costs Increasing

Data reduction – continued  Comparison of a 10 TB ERP Production System , 7TB of ERP Quality System and 2 TB of ERP Development system deployed on Pure Storage FlashArray//m vs. Legacy Storage

On Pure Storage FlashArray//m with 4:1 data reduction the SAP ERP 3 systems will be

reduced to 4.75 TB

•  Most important post-refresh activity, which converts the logical system name from the source system name to the target system name

•  Longest running process which increases the overall system copy process duration

BDLS

On Pure Storage FlashArray//m , the process is extremely fast and it needs no tuning or optimizations.


•  Tables were created with MKPF structure. •  Each table had 100 million records with 66 GB in size •  Set the BDLS commit to 10000 •  Increased from 1 table to 10 tables with 10 background jobs totaling 660 GB
