PowerEdge MX for SAP HANA TDI solutions
The Dell EMC PowerEdge MX platform is the latest hardware implemented for Dell EMC solutions for SAP HANA TDI deployments. Dell EMC PowerEdge MX servers can be used in SAP HANA scale-out TDI and SAP HANA scale-up (single-node) TDI deployments, including virtual configurations.
PowerEdge MX is a modular blade-based platform that integrates servers, storage, networking, and management into a single chassis that is designed for maximum density, efficiency, and manageability. As a unified, high-performance, kinetic data center infrastructure, PowerEdge MX provides the agility, resiliency, and efficiency to optimize a wide variety of traditional and new emerging data center workloads and applications. Its responsive design provides the innovation and longevity that organizations of all sizes need for their IT and digital business transformations. For more information, see the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX page on the Dell EMC website.
For configuration recommendations and a demonstration of how the PowerEdge MX infrastructure can help consolidate hardware requirements and simplify the implementation of an SAP HANA scale-out solution, see Appendix A: Designing and implementing an SAP HANA scale-out landscape using the PowerEdge MX platform.
