HOW?

From:• One DB per application• Point-to-point integration (e.g. ETL)• Long running queries, e.g. in batch mode

To:• One DB per landscape• No integration necessary• Real time execution

SAP HANA BenefitsAccelerated Analytics

Deliver faster insight and manage ‘big data’ No anticipation of data aggregation and query pre-compilation

New Applications and Business Processes Transform “offline” transactions to real-time interaction Improve quality and agility of business

Logical and physical Simplification Ideally, one consistent data model for OLTP and OLAP No data transformation (ETL)

IBM Broad Flexibility for HANA on POWER Stack

• Protect existing customer investments–Unique PowerVM advantages: Virtualization out of the Box–TDI like approach re-use existing IT assets and operational patterns–More granular and flexible memory increments possible

• Leverage POWER performance and scalability for SAP Business Suite–Significant Power SMT throughput advantages versus Intel x86

– in-box co-existence with established SAP landscape using AIX, IBM i

13

• Intended for mission critical 7X24 Enterprise customer operations

–Not an Appliance, running on traditional Power7+ and Power8 servers

–Best Reliable, Available, Serviceable (RAS) in the market

HANA - Sizing• SAP has published extensive guidelines and data on sizing HANA

systems. Refer to:

• http://scn.sap.com/community/hana-in-memory/blog/2013/01/17/sap-hana-sizing–http://www.saphana.com/docs/DOC-2114–https://cookbook.experiencesaphana.com/bw/deploying-bw-on-hana/preparation/plan-and-purchase-hana-system/

• IBM has adopted those guidelines into our regular SAP Sizing guidelines and processes

SAP HANA on IBM POWER – Customer Value• Intended for mission critical 7 x 24 Enterprise operations

1. Not an Appliance; Infrastructure Integration2. Highest Reliable, Available, Serviceable (RAS) in the market3. Can be integrated into and tailored to a Power customer’s environment (>=P7+ support),

on Power8 servers in production, on Power7+ for non-prod environments4. On-demand capacity

• Protect existing customer investments1. Unique PowerVM advantages: Virtualization out of the Box2. TDI like approach re-use existing IT assets and operational patterns3. Create LPAR from existing, instead of purchasing a dedicated appliance4. More granular and flexible memory increments possible

• Leverage POWER performance and scalability for SAP Business Suite1. Significant Power SMT throughput advantages versus Intel x86 (approx. 2,0x +)

2. Value: fewer cores, fewer footprints, lower energy and space and lower operating costs

3. in-box co-existence with established SAP landscape using AIX, IBM i
