With SAP HANA TDI Phase 5, SAP introduced workload-driven SAP HANA system sizing. This sizing method uses requirements for specific customer workloads to determine the type and number of processors that are required to run SAP HANA. Customers can use the SAP HANA Quick Sizer tool and reports to determine the optimal memory sizes, number and type of CPUs, and number and type of disks for their SAP HANA environment, and then communicate the results to Dell Technologies.
For more information, see Quick Sizer. If you need help with sizing your SAP system, consult with your Dell Technologies sales representative.
Note: For S5416 servers, SAP expert sizing is required. Consult with your SAP representative for details.
With S5000 series solutions for SAP HANA, you can use any certified SAP HANA Enterprise Storage solution as external storage for SAP HANA. Your sales representative can help you identify the best solution for the specific workload and environment.
All S5000 series servers are shipped with two 480 GB SSDs that can be used for a local operating system as an alternative to the boot from SAN option.
