Sometimes superpowers come later in life, whether for a superhero or an application platform.
1. Context of Cisco and MapR for SAP HANA
2. Defining the Solution – bringing Cisco, MapR, and SAP together
3. Cisco IT implementation of joint solution
4. A peek behind the covers for storage resilience
5. Where do we go from here?
What are we talking about today?

Setting The Context:Cisco and MapR for SAP HANA Production Deployments

Modern platform scaling enables you to match the compute and storage to the applicationTraditional applications (like SAP HANA) may not make this easyAin’t nobody got time for that
Last time we talked…

What if…
Your scalable storage and compute platform provided industry-standard access methods like NFS
Existing applications like SAP HANA could plug right in with no recoding
New applications, including the Hadoop ecosystem, could live side by side with traditional applications

With Cisco UCS(Unified Computing System)and MapR’s Converged Data Platform…
Your infrastructure can do just that.
Amazing but true.
(Tell me more?)

• Single disk failure• local RAID5 configuration prevents failure of the storage pool• simply replace single disk, raid controller rebuilds automatically
• Multiple disk failure• if two disks of the same raid group fail, the storage pool is lost• MapR takes care of re-replicating lost containers on other storage pools
• Node failure• all lost containers will be re-replicated among the cluster
• immediately (if "minreplication" value is undershot) or after 1 hour
