WHY SAP HANA? NEW AND ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IN HANA 12
HANA BUSINESS FUNCTION LIBRARIES (BFL) FOR ACCELERATION For data-intensive applications, ~90% of runtime is spent on transferring data between the database and application server è Large data volume transferred è Processing only on Application Server è Optimized processing directly on HANA Platform with BFLs è Minimal data transfer (result only) 13
WHY IS STORAGE RELEVANT WHEN I HAVE AN IN-MEMORY DATABASE? 14
WHY DOES HANA NEED ALL FLASH STORAGE? 15
SAP HANA RECOVERY FROM ALL FLASH STORAGE Failover Recovery: Host Auto-Failover Storage array integration required (file access and fencing) Pure s Storage Arrays are fully integrated! 16
Data reduction Used 500GB TPC-H Data Data Reduction across Data volumes is 1.9 to 2.3:1 with 100% column store Data reduction increases as row store size increases. Data in column tables can have a two-fold compression: Dictionary compression Advanced compression Row stores are not compressed on SAP HANA 17

SAP HANA Dynamic Tiering (DT) Data Temperature Concept Reduce hardware (memory) and license cost Increase SAP HANA adoption rate Easy setup and maintenance 21
SAP HANA DT - Performance Comparison Oracle vs SAP HANA: ~13.9x better performance* Overall Performance (25 HANA/75 DT) 10.42x SAP HANA vs. Oracle * https://scn.sap.com/people/sheetal.jain/blog/2015/05/21/hana-performance-test-benchmarks 22
MODERNISING SAP ECC TODAY - WHY AND HOW? 23
Current Constraints SAP People Costs High Cost [$$] Maintain status quo Modernizing IT System Copy Very Slow Data Centre and Power Costs Increasing Innovation time 24
Data reduction continued Comparison of a 10 TB ERP Production System, 7TB of ERP Quality System and 2 TB of ERP Development system deployed on Pure Storage FlashArray//m vs. Legacy Storage On Pure Storage FlashArray//m with 4:1 data reduction the SAP ERP 3 systems will be reduced to 4.75 TB 25
Snapshots for SAP Typical SAP Storage Requirements Customers challenge 10TB Production grows to 126TB 7TB Total Copy, clone, refresh data sprawl Overprovisioning of storage Compression DeDupe Sizing for peak 10TB 7TB 4TB 28TB Snap 28TB Snap Snap 56TB Prod, Dev, Test, QA in siloes PROD DB File system overhead and and growth growth RAID 10 Clone for backup Various QA/ Test environments 26

BDLS Most important post-refresh activity, which converts the logical system name from the source system name to the target system name Longest running process which increases the overall system copy process duration On Pure Storage FlashArray//m, the process is extremely fast and it needs no tuning or optimizations. 28
BDLS Performance Testing Tables were created with MKPF structure. Each table had 100 million records with 66 GB in size Set the BDLS commit to 10000 Increased from 1 table to 10 tables with 10 background jobs totaling 660 GB 29
