Introduction to SAP S/4 HANA
Introduction to SAP S/4 HANA and In-Memory Computing
SAP HANA is a relational database management system (RDBMS). It combines OLAP and
OLTP processing into a single in-memory database while considered as foundation of SAP’scurrent and next generation of enterprise applications and services. This latest generationof SAP software represents a major revolution in how businesses generate, collect, interact,
and use their exponentially growing store of mission critical data. The S/4 HANA suite isamong others a prerequisite and the core of all SAP’s current and future on premise, cloud,or hybrid, CRM, ERP, IoT, and BI applications.

The revolutionary technology introduced in SAP S/4 HANA is called In-Memory
Computing. In-memory computing technology is developed for demanding enterpriseapplications relying on important developments in computer technology such as multicore CPUs and greatly increased memory capacity. It allows massive parallel processing of
database operations with data that is permanently kept in-memory and provide extremely
fast results from analysis and transactions. Accessing the memory layer is one hundred
thousand times faster than accessing spinning disk, where RAM access times are measured
in nanoseconds while disk access is measured in milliseconds. When compared to flash
SSD or NVMe access, RAM is still over a thousand times faster. By moving your data volume
from disk to RAM, you can exponentially accelerate the speed of your business insightsfrom “delayed reaction analytics” into the world of “real-time analytics”.

White Paper - June 20193

SAP HANA in-memory technology also combines Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and
Online Transactional Processing (OLTP) into a single engine. By doing so, business now
have real-time analytics capabilities against their live transactional environment without
needing to pull and transport large data sets from separate OLTP environment to OLAP.
And by storing data sets in both Row Stores and pre-aggregated Column Stores, there
are much fewer steps required to generate insight. Large reporting jobs & end-of-monthcalculations that used to run over-night to aggregate data can now produce real-time,
usable insights in seconds instead of hours.

Quick Brief: SAP S/4 HANA Applications
As described in the previous section, SAP S/4 HANA serves not only as the Database
Engine, but also the foundational infrastructure for the latest generation of SAP Enterprise
Applications & Services:

Getting Started - How to Select SAP HANA Hardware
Understanding SAP HANA Certifications – Which Certifications Will myServers Need?
Whether if you are a large enterprise looking to migrate your SAP NetWeaver Stack to S/4
HANA, or if you are a SMB looking to deploy your first SAP S/HANA system, understanding
the possible implementation scenarios is essential:
SAP NetWeaver Certification – is a pre-requisite to implement SAP application instances
connected either to SAP NetWeaver or S/4HANA stack. SAP NetWeaver certification
involves key performance indicator (KPI) validation for all SAP Applications deployed on
SAP S/4 HANA, SAP R/3, and SAP ECC 6.0. This is a certification for the application tier, anddoes not certify hardware running SAP HANA database. All Supermicro servers using Intel
Skylake technology are currently certified for SAP NetWeaver.
SAP HANA Appliance Certification (Scale Up) – The SAP HANA Appliance Scale Up
certification guarantees that the S/4 HANA database software performs as intended on thecertified system. SAP HANA Appliances are offered in various sizes with predefined BOMs
as listed on SAP’s HANA certified hardware directory. Scale up appliances are specificallydesigned to run as a single autonomous compute node with the option of internal orexternal storage. To increase the size and performance of a scale up system, you simply
upgrade the CPU, RAM, or Disk in the node. All SAP HANA Appliances are designed to be
turn-key solutions. As such, Supermicro must install and configure the HW Components,
Operating System, and SAP HANA before delivering the appliance.
SAP HANA Appliance Certification (Scale Out) – The SAP HANA Appliance Scale Out
certification guarantees that the S/4 HANA database software performs as intended on acluster of certified compute nodes with external enterprise storage. SAP HANA Scale Out
architecture combines multiple nodes in a cluster to split a single HANA instance workload
over two more servers. The HANA Scale Out architecture allows much more flexibility ingrowth, deployment, and variation in network storage technologies. To increase the sizeand performance of a scale out system, you can add more server nodes to the cluster. As
with the Scale-Up Appliance, Supermicro must install and configure the HW Components,
Operating System, and SAP S/4 HANA before delivering the appliance to customer.
SAP HANA TDI – Tailored Datacenter Integration – All SAP Certified Appliances are
eligible for TDI deployment, which allows the customer to build a HANA server with theirown choice of CPU, RAM, Disk, and Add on Cards specifically for their own preferredarchitecture. Again, to emphasize, SAP HANA Appliances are designed as fixed BOM
turnkey solutions, whereas SAP HANA TDI deployments allow the customer to mix & match
certified components. TDI open architecture allows the customer to cluster their HANA
servers in their own preferred method for High Availability and network storage. The TDI
deployment model will require the customer to install and configure the operating system
and all SAP software themselves or request Supermicro for service
SAP HANA Enterprise Storage – Since SAP HANA uses in-memory technology, it is criticalto have certified, reliable, enterprise-class storage to store your persistent data when it’sat rest. And since entire data volumes are read from memory, the storage node must beable to perform large data uploads very quickly. Thus, all sap HANA storage nodes must

White Paper - June 20195

be specifically SAP HANA certified. Once certified, the storage nodes listed here https://www.sap.com/dmc/exp/2014-09-02-hana-hardware/enEN/enterprise-storage.html are
guaranteed to work and perform with any SAP HANA Appliance.

Getting Started – How to Size your SAP HANA System
Sizing for SAP HANA involves specifically selecting the amount of CPU, Memory, andStorage available to your HANA Appliance. Correctly sizing your SAP HANA Deployment
is critical to your SAP Total Cost of Ownership because it reduces your initial hardware
acquisition cost, your initial SAP HANA License cost, and most importantly, your annual
software maintenance cost from SAP.

Sizing SAP HANA for Greenfield Deployments
In the world of software & hardware IT deployments, the term “greenfield” usually refers tobrand new stack installations with no existing software or hardware migrations needed. If
this applies to your situation, then the QuickSizer tool provided by SAP is the best place tostart.
The SAP HANA Quick Sizer Tool
https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/sap/qs_oberflaeche/hana.do?saplanguage=en&bsp-language=en
SAP has developed the HANA Quick Sizer as a web-based tool to simplify and walk you
through your new SAP deployment and sizing process. The SAP Quick Sizer has an intuitive
user interface and questionnaire based inputs to ensure that you capture all data points
from your existing legacy database. You can also input business & process variables such as
expected growth rates, power users, and desired performance. The HANA Quick Sizer tool
is not only a great starting point for your HANA sizing, it is also designed as an iterative tool
to help you to continuously refine your SAP stack until you have exactly what you need,and eliminate excess as you gather more information and usage data from your workload.

Sizing SAP HANA for Brownfield Deployments
Brownfield deployments means that the customer already has an existing legacy
application & data source that they will need to size & migrate to SAP HANA. The legacy
software may be from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, Workday, IBM, or any major CRM or
ERP vendor.
Current SAP Customers Migrating to SAP HANA••

General SAP HANA Sizing, use-case agnostic: Please use the SAP HANA Quick Sizer
tool as described in the previous section.

SAP HANA Business Suite (S/4 HANA): Please see the section below: “Sizing forspecific SAP HANA Use Cases.”

3rd Party Database Customer Migrating to SAP HANA••

General SAP HANA Sizing, 3rd party database agnostic: Since 2014, SAP has
integrated 3rd party database migration calculators into their SAP HANA Quick
Sizer tool. This is still the best and simplest tool to use as a starting point for yourmigration.

••

SAP provides database vendor specific scripts to calculate & advice on sizing foreach deployment. However, the scope and scale of that process will extend beyond
this document. For 3rd party database migrations to SAP HANA, Supermicro
highly recommends the customer partner with an SAP Software consultant. If you
are having difficulty finding a qualified consultant for your SAP HANA journey,
Supermicro can help with the process.

Sizing for Specific SAP HANA Use Cases
There are some specific SAP HANA use cases where SAP provides some “rule of thumb”
sizing guidelines as well as very specific scripted reports which provide detailed usage
data. Customers are encouraged to use the rule of thumb calculations as a starting point,then refine their specific HW requirements over time using their custom usage queries &reports.
