Examples of classical (SAP) BI challenges
Dashboard data is all available, but it
takes many development hours to
Reports are based on a populate the dashboard
limited set of data to
have an acceptable

During month end closing
center data is not possible as
no real time data is

SAP BI tooling is quite advanced, but still has some challenges
5. (5
What causes these issues?
SAP BO for reporting
Reports have to be based only
on available reporting objects
SAP BW to combine and structure data on a logical order
Reporting Layer
Data is optimized for reporting
during a data load
Corporate Memory
Data restructured “un-silod”
and filtered to a company
logical structure
Data Acquisition
All data is stored on a 1:1 basis
to optimize data loading
Data loads due to performance

How does HANA solve these issues?
SAP BO for reporting Reports can be based on all
available data in corporate
memory, without performance
limitations
SAP BW
Corporate Memory = Reporting Layer
Data does not need to be
optimized for reporting
Data is high performing “un-silod”
and filtered to a company
logical structure with less ETL
Data Acquisition
First data storage high performing
and has no burden

Key Messages5 certified configurations based on DL580 and DL980.Scale out configuration is expected this calendar year, scaling up to 40TB of raw uncompressed data. Will deliver High Availability with design hooks for DT.Services are included and required in the offering. Currently HP has certified 5 configurations to support compressed data-sizes of 5TB or less using the Proliant DL580 and DL980G7 platforms. These are available with memory sizes up to 1TB in a single box.It is important to note that HP is including services components that includes onsite installation and implementation as well as proactive critical advantage 24x7x365 support bundled into the solution and shipped directly from our factory pre-configured.
Key Messages:Today, SAP HANA is positioned as an Analytic Appliance – taking data from OLTP and data warehouse systems such as SCM & SAP Netweaver BW. Data is mirrored/replicated in SAP HANAData is compressed and stored in-memory in a columnar format. This greatly speeds up analytic operations, examples over 350x performance increase.SAP HANA in-memory calculation engine provides extremely fast calculations against the data that is in-memory and provides the results to the BI tool. Speeds up efforts by passing answers, not raw data.
The SAP SW license is decoupled from HW. This means the customer can purchase a 1TB license from SAP and 2TB Base Appliance from HP. When the customer is ready to grow to the full 2TB, they only need to purchase additional license from SAP – Hardware is ready.
HA at launchBusiness Warehouse on SAP HANA will require Scale out capability with HA. Other vendors certifying designs without HA. The nature of HA and DR necessarily increases the complexity and cost. Better up front than later.We didn’t believe customers like General Mills are interested in deploying a scale out solution that cannot support HA or the new Business Warehouse functionality for HANA.Launching with HA eliminates need for costly, difficult and time consuming field upgrade.Sized for growthCurrent deployment only 512G/blade. Only blade on market that can support 1TB RAM.HP BladeSystem ManagementIndustry leading market positionStrong system deployment and management toolsFuture capability for flexible deploymentConsistency with SAP NetWeaver BW AcceleratorSAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator deployed as blade.
