26 SAP HANA on POWER Evaluation Technische Universität München Monitoring of HANA on Power Linux partitions Overview of different monitoring tools (IBM, SAP, 3 rd parties) Comparison of functional differences and manageability Performance Benchmarking of SAP ERP Business Suite Comparison of the file systems JFS2 and XFS with respect to an environment running SAP ERP Business Suite systems IOZone and TPC-H benchmarks Analysis of the performance of I/O intensive processes SAP Application Resiliency High-Availability / Data- Recovery Overview of existing High-Availability solutions for the IBM Power platform Installation and configuration of the IBM Tivoli System Automation solution for SAP HANA on Linux as well as for SAP BW on AIX Demonstrating the interoperability of HA-solutions running on the IBM Power platform 26

27 Comparing SAP HANA on different platforms Technische Universität München Noteworthy properties of former x86 HANA landscape Increased maintenance effort Management options offered by x86 systems are lacking HMC support leading to increased heterogeneity in our data center x86 systems require more ramp up effort as they do not come with a built-in hypervisor Host OS and hypervisor require resources such as RAM and CPU Noteworthy properties of current HANA on POWER landscape New environment using SLES 11 SP4 (PPC) landscape mainly running on AIX SAP HANA on POWER LPARs proved to be very stable in various setups (i.e. BW on HANA, ERP on HANA, S/4 HANA) Currently non-sap-supported configurations such as scale-out successfully tested Management options offered by the previous POWER generation are also available for POWER8 (e.g. HMC, VIOS and AME) Easy and flexible initial setup 27
