Scale-Up HANA on VMware High Availability

• VMware HA– Out-of-the-box, simple baseline solution

• HANA System Replication– Configure on VMware as per physical– Faster RTO– Resources required for standby (duplicate storage)– (can be used for DR) 23

Accelerated HANA Deployments:

1. Hitachi delivers small, fully pre-installed SAP HANA VM template as part of Professional Service

2. Template can be deployed as SAP HANAVM for any SAP application

3. SAP HANA VMs can be grown to satisfy adequate sizing

… no on-site HANA installation needed

… easy customization to required landscape

One More Reason to Virtualize: SAP HANA Deployment from Template (Hitachi Service)

Example landscape:• ECC and CRM, 5 SIDs each• Sizing:

Prod, HA, QA: 800 GB Test, Dev: 400 GB Sbx: 100 GB

• DR: SAP HANA replication Core benefits & use cases:

• HA/vMotion of production systems to test/sbx system (suspension of all non-prod systems on that node)

• QA and DR are co-located, DR uses little (~10%) resources while only replicating. In DR scenario, QA will be shut down
