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?

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

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

Compute

Network

Storage

RDBMS

SAP App

SAP transactions are processedNew sales orders, customer/supplierChanges in company data is collectedSAP update process sends commits for these data changes to RDBMSNetwork I/O as App communicates with DB

RDBMS commits to disk the new dataDatabase files are writtenLogs 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 dataData 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 diskStorage 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

CISCO HANA PORTFOLIO

Scale Economics: UCS chassis and fabric cost half as much in enterprise and cloud scale deployments *

Operational efficiency: Add capacity 77% faster with 67% fewer configuration steps **

• Cloud Readiness: Instant compatibility across Cisco’s ecosystem of Service Provider / Cloud Power partners

• Management simplicity: Single orchestration interface across four pillars (compute, network, storage, multi-instance)

• Consistency: Single family of building blocks across appliance, TDI and cloud deployment models
