Where is the data Located and What Drives the Growth?

Today, 73% of data stored on client devices

resides on PCs.
By 2017, global smartphone traffic (201 EB per
year) will exceed the amount of data stored (179
EB per year) on those devices necessitating the
need for greater storage capabilities via the
cloud.
By 2019, 55% of the residential Internet
population will use personal cloud storage and

Why Change to In-Memory Processing?

File systems were created to manage hard disks

Traditional Relational Databases were made to manage

file systems

Application Servers were created to speed up

applications that ran on a database.

Therefore:

Hard drives are DYING!

Traditional relational databases are DEAD (they just dont

know it!)

Sizing a BW system for HANA

Using the BW Automated Sizing tool in the
Migration Cockpit

SAP BW on HANA Sizing Tool for

Existing BW Implementations
SAP has released an updated tool that
generates a report for sizing SAP BW.
This program takes into consideration
existing database, table types, and
includes the effects of non-active data
on the HANA system

This program is also referenced in SAP Notes

1909597 and 1736976 on the Service Marketplace

To increase speed,
you can suppress
analysis tables with
less than 1 MB size

The higher
precision you
run the
estimate at,
the longer the
program is
going to run

The SAP BW on HANA

Sizing Result
Since timeouts are common when running the
sizing program, you can temporarily change the
parameter in rdisp/max_wprun_time to 0 in
BW transaction RZ11. Finally, you estimate the
growth for the system as a percentage or as
absolute growth.
The output is stored in the file you
specified and the file can now be
emailed to hardware vendors for sizing
input and hardware selection

Sizing for BusinessSuite on HANA

SAP also have
programs to size the
system for
BusinessSuite on HANA

July 2015, we see that a
system of 1.992 GB is

CT-Scans use ionized radiation
which have increased cancer risks,

MRI use magnetism and has less
risk, but takes longer to process

5 Key Insights
All databases will be in-memory in the next 5-7 years
If you are a SAP customer you will move to HANA
In-memory databases are the norm and an overall industry trend
Netezza, Hadoop, IBM-blue, Exadata and many more databases
exists in addition to SAP HANA, but SAP applications such as S/4,
business Suite (SoH) and BW 7.5 are optimized to take advantage
of HANA.
In-memory databases are a paradigm shift with substantial better
storage capabilities and performance you need to be imaginative
to take advantage of these capabilities
