Document purpose

  • Before the SAP HANA TDI deployment model was available, customers who used the appliance model experienced the following limitations:

    • Limited choice of servers, networks, and storage
    • Little knowledge and control of the critical components in the  SAP HANA appliance
    • Inability to use existing data center infrastructure and operational procedures, resulting in higher infrastructure startup costs
    • Fixed sizes for SAP HANA server and storage capacities, leading to higher
      costs from lack of capacity and inability to respond rapidly to
      unexpected growth demands

    This guide describes a solution that uses SAP HANA in a TDI deployment scenario on Dell EMC Unity enterprise storage systems. This solution reduces hardware and operational costs, lowers risks, and increases server and network vendor flexibility.

    The guide provides configuration recommendations that are based on SAP requirements for high availability and on the performance tests and results that are required to meet the SAP key performance indicators (KPIs) for SAP HANA TDI.
