Lesson two
Main learning points
• SAP has made HANA the strategic consideration for all customers
– Innovation and investments will be focused on the HANA platform
– SAP customer must have a HANA plan
Highly Virtualized • SAP supports the use of multiple Delivers unmatched flexibility
Deployments LPARs on production servers for SAP HANA deployments
Scale-out (multi-host) • SAP supports Business Warehouse Power now supports the
mode in multi-host mode, in addition to complete range of deployment
single node mode modes
IBM Customer • IBM guarantees customer Enables clients to deploy
Experience Guarantee experience for larger core:memory larger, more optimized HANA
ratios and/or database sizes landscapes
Statement of Direction: • IBM will release systems supporting Enables clients to deploy
Up to 32 TB memory per with 1.3 more memory than largest largest HANA databases,
machine x86-based systems and/or plan for growth
• Contact IBM Alliance Executive for alignment call with SAP ( On premise or Cloud )
• Opportunity for HANA Deployment Workshop (for potential Clients)
• Understand Customers timeline and HANA strategy
• Scenario #2 : SAP BW customers who have purchased SAP HANA, but not using SAP HANA for BW
• License retirement opportunity, or an subsequent S4/HANA license sale
• Contact IBM Alliance Executive for alignment call with SAP
• Include Global Technology Services – Total Solution Services (GTS-TSS) or Global Business Services (GBS) for
implementation/upgrade/migration potential
• Scenario #3 : HANA license sales cycle in progress (either for BW only, or for Suite on HANA)
• Contact Alliance Executive for alignment call with SAP
• Must ensure that SAP AE understands HANA sales cycle not delayed
• Include GTS – TSS or GBS for implementation/upgrade/migration potential
WHY IBM

• POWER8 servers for a key enterprise workload. Memory “We believe that HANA on the Power platform has the potential
to fundamentally transform the HANA adoption journey for
• Any POWER8 server can run HANA reliability built in to Power systems
customers. It's significantly easier to deploy HANA on Power as

• HANA on Power utilizes the TDI model Record-setting performance due to POWER8 NTT Data Systems
of implementation clock speeds and throughput (up to 8
• Clients can use existing Storage- no simultaneous threads vs. 2 for Intel). 2X Flexibility and Value
need to buy new hardware performance over x86 systems “We chose POWER8 for HANA because we really didn't want
• Utilize “mainstream” SAP HANA tools Enterprise-grade virtualization for multiple 'yet another appliance' in our service offerings. Also we really

Partnering with SAP
• Contact your assigned IBM SAP Alliance Executive
– Or contact bbreitel@us.ibm.com Bob Breitel (IBM Director, SAP Global Alliance)
• In an existing Power SAP installed account, contact your assigned IBM SAP Alliance Executive
– SAP will be more inclined to work with IBM overall
– SAP will be cautious working with IBM in a DB2 account, address joint strategies to overcome objections
– Get aggressive with SAP in accounts with Oracle installed
• RAS
– HANA include systems replication so high system availability does not
matter.
• Performance
– The old rules about performance don’t matter. It is not about per core but per
HANA instance performance.
• Virtualization
– VMware is supported just like PVM for HANA

Spending an additional few percent of your overall cost on IBM Power Systems for the infrastructure
part gives a much better performance, service level and more flexibility compared to x86.
