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 Appliance vs TDI

Comparison Between the Appliance and the TDI Delivery Model for SAP HANA


SAP HANA Tailored Data Center IntegrationComparison with Appliance Delivery Model

Compared to the appliance delivery, SAP HANA TDI is an additional approach providing you with more flexibility

to fulfill your needs of integrating SAP HANA in your data center.

Appliance Delivery Model SAP HANA TDI Approach

Hardware

Selection

• Little flexibility only

• Customer can choose between different appliance

vendors

• No possibility to replace certain components by HW

already used in customers’ DC

• Save IT budget and existing investments

• Use preferred storage

• Use preferred network components

• A choice of compute server processor (Intel Xeon E5, E7 CPU,

IBM Power 8 CPU)

Implementation

Effort

• Low for customer

• Preconfigured HW plus preinstalled SW

• Only HW is delivered

• Installation to be done by customer (incl. OS)

• Extensive documentation (guides, SAP notes) available

Safeguarding /

Solution

Validation

• Done together by SAP and HW Partner

• SAP HANA Going-Live check offered by SAP AGS

• Self-managed infrastructure tests possible

• SAP HANA HW Configuration Check Tool

Support • Fully provided by SAP • Individual support agreement(s) with HW partner(s) required

OS Service

Contract• Appliance vendor is reseller of OS provider’s service contract • Customer to care for getting the OS provider’s service contract

SAP HANA TDI Process

Steps to set up an SAP HANA infrastructure using the TDI approach


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.
