Challenges for customers starting to run SAP
HANA
Vast requirements on physical infrastructure− Infrastructure requirements larger than traditional SAP environment
− Large memory demand
− High CPU requirements
Limited flexibility− Restrictions on virtualization
− Limitations on scalability (specially using virtualization)
− Sizing challenges due to physical boundaries
TCO challenges− Low system utilization
− High management cost
− Maintaining availability
− Unpredictable growth

Current HANA limitations IBM Power Systems
SAP BW on HANA on Power− Maximum 4800GB memory per single HANA partition
− Core to memory ratio at 50 GB/core on E870 and E880, 32 GB/core for other systems
SAP BS on HANA on Power and S/4 HANA− Maximum 9 TB memory per single HANA partition
− Core to memory ratio at 96 GB/core
Restrictions impacts only productive HANA systems.
These limitations can be removed by running an official SAP exceptional
process.

The Power Portfolio has the flexibility to Scale-
Up and Scale-Out
SAP HANA Scale-Up− Minimal data center footprint
− One server, one operating system to
update, patch, upgrade
− One host to operate, manage, and provide
− power supply
SAP HANA Scale-Out− Provides more HW flexibility and requires
less
− initial investment
− Need more space and power in data center
− Operational/management costs will be
much higher
− Requires more upfront knowledge about
data, applications, and hardware

First HANA on POWER Winback from Lenovo x86
About Hamm Reno Group: Hamm Reno Group is the largest shoe retailer in Europe with more than 750 stores and is represented in 20 countries. Hamm Reno Group has both top brands as well as a wide assortment of fashionable footwear for the whole family in its portfolio.http://www.hr-group.de/
Background and business needs:Hamm Reno Group has been a long time IBM Power customer running traditional SAP workload on Power. As early as 2012, they installed SAP HANA on two IBM X5 SAP HANA appliances. When their SAP HANA appliances lease was expiring in November 2015 they started looking for a new solution. As they were informed of SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems in March 2015, and the upcoming Ramp Up program for SAP HANA on Power Systems, they became highly interested in this offering. The IBM team seized the opportunity to integrate and migrate their SAP Business Warehouse (BW) SAP HANA installation based on x86 Lenovo to IBM POWER8 which is the main platform for Hamm Reno Group’s SAP workload.The solution addressed Hamm Reno Group’s concerns on the lack of flexibility and virtualization with SAP HANA on the current platform. The SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) not being supported for SAP BW on Power and the lack of official support for Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for ERP on Linux on Power (LoP) didn’t inhibited Hamm Reno Group to go in production with SAP HANA on Power Systems.
Solution:• 1 x S822L Power Server for production SAP HANA instance (SAP HANA DB: 320 GB, 10 cores)• 1 x S824 Power Server fully virtualized for Test and Development SAP HANA (256 GB) + additional SAP workload (ERP, HCM, SRM)• Existing V5000 with HDD and SSD integrated with POWER8 servers for data and logs • SUSE Linux SLES 11 SP3 and TSM for ERP backup solution. Hamm Reno Group is the first customer to use TSM for ERP on LoP
Benefits of the solution for Hamm Reno Group:• Virtualized SAP HANA workload providing both flexibility and scalability while optimizing system utilization and reducing infrastructure and related
costs. • Homogeneous POWER8 infrastructure for complete SAP landscape

CTAC first MSP/CSP to acquire Power System E870 and Storwize V7000 for SAP HANA TDI infrastructure
About CTAC:CTAC is an ICT Solution Provider developing and implementing industry-tailored solutions for their customers’ business processes in a variety of markets. The comprehensive industry-specific solutions for retail, wholesale, real estate and charity, among others, were developed in collaboration with customers, based on standard software from market leaders such as SAP, Microsoft and other well-known technology suppliers.CTAC has been a SAP and Microsoft Gold Partner for many years.CTAC has been complementing industry-specific composed solutions with a full service package, ranging from business consultancy to managed services, and software development to innovative services such as mobility, in-memory computing and cloud for over 20 years. Headquartered in Hertogenbosch, in the Netherlands, CTAC also operates in Belgium and France. http://www.ctac.nl/
Background and business needs:CTAC offers a range of solutions based on SAP software through their cloud hosting environment. Before the announcement of HANA TDI (Tailored Datacenter Integration), CTAC could only offer static x86 appliances. Thus, they explored the option of building a SAP TDI environment for SAP HANA workloads. In order to host this environment, CTAC was looking for a cost effective platform to deliver the requested performance, scalability and availability.
Solution: CTAC decided to build the new SAP HANA TDI cloud based on a solution running IBM Power Systems and Storwize V7000 storage to meet their requirements. They will host virtualized SAP HANA environments running SUSE Linux on IBM Power E870 Systems. Storage requirements for SAP HANA TDI will be delivered by IBM V7000 systems using a combination of SSD and SAS disk drives. Management tooling include IBM PowerVC and Spectrum Virtualize to efficiently run and monitor the environment. For the initial set-up CTAC acquired two 40-Core, 3TB Memory E870 Power Systems each with 42TB of V7000 storage.
POWER8 & V7000 WIN!
Industry: IT Solutions Provider
Winning Solution:2 x E870 Power Systems 40-Core, 3TB Memory each with 42TB of V7000 storage
Competition: x86

What’s the value to sellers and partners?
Over 6000 SAP accounts (WW) are running SAP workload on Power today− Customers are comfortable with Power for SAP
− Customers are nervous about SAP with Intel and/or Cloud
− Protect and grow your Power footprint in SAP accounts…. Keep Intel out!
Identify Power opportunities for SAP HANA− Do you have a customer running SAP Workload on Power?
− Is there a HANA sales cycle/progression in that account?
− Customer has already purchased HANA licenses?
Major services opportunities − SAP and HANA are strategic IT investments and typically require implementation services.
