Safe Harbor Statement

The content and commentary in this presentation and associated webinar is intended to be accurate and directionally representative of SAP's Best Practices and Product Strategy. There is however a degree of subjectivity in any effort to interpret SAP from a sizing and capacity planning perspective.

Therefore, it is strongly encouraged to request a "HANA Technical Academy" Briefing and Workshop with SAP, Cisco, and your preferred Storage Vendor at the SAP Co-Innovation Lab (COIL) or the SAP Competency Center:

Spend 1-2 Days with true SAP Subject Matter Experts

Latest Product Roadmaps and Solution Planning with SAP and your End-to-End SAP Technology vendors

Hands-on with HANA (Several Technical Scenarios including HA/DR, Hadoop, ILM, and Security Integrations)

Locations: Palo Alto (California, USA), São Paulo (Brazil), Waldorf (Germany), Moscow (Russia), Bangalore (India), Shanghai (China), Singapore, and Tokyo (Japan).

1. Cisco Offers a Complete Portfolio for SAP HANAAppliances, TDI, Non-Production. From Entry Level Intel E5 solutions to 8-socket Intel E7 single-node options and Scale Out Clustering solutions. Important: SAP HANA rules are only required for Production

2. Why SAP’s Vision requires Integrated Infrastructure and thus TDI

3. A Closer Look at Tailored Data Center Integration (TDI) at CiscoCisco’s Approach to SAP and specifically HANA via both the Appliance and TDI model. Technical Documentation and new Cisco Validated Designs

4. Additional Resources and DocumentationShow SAP Experience on Cisco Build and Price portal – Solutions, Sample Configurations, Supporting Documentation

Today’s Agenda – Deploying HANA via TDI


Cisco offers a Complete Portfolio for HANA – Appliance & TDI Scale-up to 8-socket before you Scale-out | Analytics at 2+TB | Transactional/Suite (SoH) at 6TB

C460 M4

(2-4s Appliance Workhorse. 80+% SoH)

B200 M3/M4*

(2s TDI Workhorse on Intel E5 – 80+% SoH)

B460 M4

(4s TDI Workhorse for SoH and Scale-out)

C880 M4

(8s Analytics Workhorse)

(~10% of SoH-classic)

Then Scale-out!

Scale-up80+% of SoH-classic

fits into 2-4 socket

Compute Nodes

Analytics80+% fits into 2-7TB

Clusters (1-8 Nodes)

* NEW! Mainly for HANA via TDI, Cisco also certified the

B260M4 (2s x E7) and the C220/C240M4 (2s x E5)

Single-Node EDW

Architecture only

advised for low/slow

growth scenarios


A Closer Look at the End-to-End Application Architecture for S4HANA

* Denotes Limited ‘Data Aging’ Capabilities Today

* SAP Best Practice is still classic archiving (via the ADK) for OLTP/Transactional


Why SAP’s S4HANA Vision requires Integrated InfrastructureA Closer Look at the ‘On-Premise’ portion of the S4HANA Architecture Requirements


SAP’s S4HANA Vision Requires Integrated Infrastructure…… Run SAP on UCS Integrated Infrastructure with HANA via TDI

SAP Production (Analytics on HANA)

• 4+ Node Scale-out Cluster

SAP Production (Suite on HANA)

• 2+ Node Scale-up HA Cluster

SAP Production (Non-HANA)

• SAP and SAP Related Workloads

Non-SAP Related Workloads

• VDI, SharePoint, Exchange, etc.

Storage Pools for HANA Persistence

Run Production, Non-Production, HANA, and Non-HANA workloads together with Logical Isolation

Agenda


SAP HANA Platform Deployment Models

• Cisco servers, network, and storage are SAP-certified together in a pre-configured set-up

• SAP HANA software is installed by Cisco

• The appliance is installed and supported by SAP and Cisco

• All infrastructure is dedicated to a single HANA system

SAP Certified HANA Appliance Model

Advantages:

• Standard Designed

• Validated Solution

• SAP Certified

• Fast Deployment

• Single Support Contact

Risks

• Nonstandard Components

• Nonstandard Implementation

• Under-used Resources

Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI) Model

• Storage is certified separately

• Customer and partners integrate SAP-certified components and SAP HANA software on-site

• Customer is responsible for validation and support of the configuration

• Infrastructure can be shared with non-HANA workloads.

Advantages:

• Design Flexibility

• Standardized Components

• Use Existing Skills and Procedures

Risks:

• Extended Design & Implementation

• Doesn’t Work
