Fujitsu / EMC BW Performance StudySAP Center of Excellence – Walldorf

SAP BW Data Mart Benchmark was used as a basisOnly chance to get enough I/ODB size enlarged to approx 2 TB databaseTwo identical systems

Why Manual Tiering for SAP?

EFDs can sustain up to 30 times30 times the I/O of a typical FC drive

By consolidating high loads on EFD:Reduce drive countRedeploy drives to other applicationsFree up nearly 9 terabytes of raw disk capacity

Is it practical to place everything on EFD?• Manual layout required to drive the benefit of taking advantage of:

• EFD for high performance• HDD for performance and capacity• SATA for high capacity

Virtual Provisioning

Reduce total cost of ownership

Increase capacity utilization

Simplify storage managementEasier data layout with wide stripingFewer steps to accommodate growth

“Storage on Demand” conceptAllocate SAP requirements initiallyStorage Administration adds storage as neededNo downtime for SAP

Enables quick response for storage growthApplication and/or virtual machine stay online without disruption

Advanced alerts to monitor storage utilization

Why Virtual Provisioning for SAP?

Provision full future capacity immediately for new SAP systemsStorage can be added to pool as requiredMonitoring and alerts for growth in pools

Add capacity and performanceData is striped across Symmetrix VMAX poolPool rebalancingSpace reclamation

Manage SAP systems in separate pools or in a single poolSeparate pools based on your SAP landscapeData and log in separate thin pool, but same data pool to gain performance benefit from widestriping

What Is SAP liveCache?

Used within the Supply Chain Management Application

Combined relational and object-oriented database technologiesSAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) liveCache

Hybrid database system can process enormous volumes of information, such asplanning data for supply chain management

Integration works on MaxDB hot standby configuration without liveCache
