The hardware assembly is a two folded process of a SAP sizing exercise and an IBM mapping effort<\/p>\n SAP HANA systems can be deployed exploiting PowerVM capabilities. This can lower the entry barrier for SAP HANA significantly, since test systems can be easily installed on a partition using available resources or Capacity Upgrade on Demand (CoD) capacity \u2013 there is no need to purchase dedicated hardware for SAP HANA on POWER.<\/p>\n From a technology perspective, IBM Power Systems are very well suited to provide excellent SAP HANA database performance and reliability. The port of the SAP HANA code to POWER architecture benefits from excellent memory bandwidth, SIMD parallelization, and Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) on POWER.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Figue 1: SAP HANA on IBM Power<\/p>\n SAP HANA on IBM Power Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0manages the availability of applications running on Linux and AIX clusters.

This can be achieved with IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager (FCM).<\/p>\n IBM FlashCopy with IBM FCM delivers high levels of protection for key applications and databases using advanced integrated application snapshot back- up and restore capabilities. It lets you perform and manage frequent, near- instant, non-disruptive, application-aware backups and restores using integrated application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Figure 4: \u00a0IBM FlashCopy backup solution for SAP HANA<\/p>\n The stretched cluster is an extended High Availability (HA) method supported by SAN Volume Controller<\/span> to enable I\/O operations to continue after the loss of half of the system. This is also sometimes referred to as a split cluster<\/dfn> because one half of the cluster and I\/O group is usually in a geographically distant location from the other; often 10 kilometers or more. A third site is required to host a controller that provides a quorum disk.<\/p>\n\n

\nSystem Automation for Multiplatforms<\/span> provides a high availability environment, in which systems are continuously available. The self-healing infrastructure provided by the product prevents downtime that is caused by system problems. The recovery infrastructure detects improper operations of systems, transactions, and processes, and initiates corrective actions without disrupting users.<\/li>\n
\nWith System Automation for Multiplatforms<\/span> you can configure high availability systems by creating and working with automation policies. The automation policies define the relationships between the various system components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n4- SAP HANA with IBM Spectrum Protect:<\/h4>\n
