The Dell Validated Design for SAP HANA TDI with PowerStore reduces hardware and operational costs, lower risks by integrating SAP HANA into existing data center operational processes, and increases server and network vendor selection. Customers can:
- Integrate SAP HANA into an existing data center.
- Choose between the following storage protocols and connectivity options for the SAP HANA nodes:
- NAS: Shared file system (NAS/NFS)
- SAN: Fibre Channel (FC SAN)
- Use their existing operational processes, skills, and tools, thus avoiding the significant risks and costs that are associated with operational change.
- Use the performance and scale benefits of PowerStore systems to obtain real-time insights across the business.
- Use NVMe storage class memory (SCM) and solid-state device (SSD) drives for the SAP HANA persistence, reducing SAP HANA startup, host autofailover, and backup times.
- Expect storage efficiencies and capacity savings with PowerStore always-on inline data reductions such as zero detectcompression, and deduplication.
- Transition easily from an appliance-based model to the PowerStore-based TDI architecture while relying on Dell Technologies Professional Services to minimize risk.
