Huawei Solutions for SAP HANA

The SAP High-Performance Analytic Appliance (HANA) is a data platform which can be deployed as an appliance, or in the cloud.

It is a revolutionary platform that is ideally suited to run real-time analytics, and to develop and deploy real-time applications. It

enables real-time processing of massive amounts of data in the main memory of a server.

Huawei has partnered with SAP to create HANA appliances based on Huawei’s high-end hardware platform which feature

outstanding performance. Huawei provides complete deployment options for SAP HANA including cloud offerings (HANA One,

HANA Enterprise Cloud) and on-premise offerings (HANA Appliance, B1A, B1H). The appliances cover the range from entry-

level, with 128GB of memory to large-scale with up to 16 terabytes of usable memory. And technically Huawei infrastructure can

support larger cluster which can be certified on request.

The single node solution uses a Huawei RH5885H V3 rack server and high performance SSD to deliver the best read/write

performance in the industry. This performance ensures that real-time data is available for business operation and decision making.

The scale-out solution runs on the award winning Huawei FusionCube converged infrastructure. FusionCube employs an innovative

software based storage which also delivers very high IO performance. The FusionCube’s converged architecture design with high

performance Infiniband networking and high-performance storage makes it an ideal platform for HANA scale-out solution.

Figure 1: Tecal RH5885H V3 front view Figure 2: Tecal RH5885H V3 rear view

Description

Single node solution is based on the RH5885H V3 high performance 4-socket rack server. The RH5885H V3 can provide 53 advanced Reliability/Availability/Serviceability (RAS) features such as Cache security technology and Core isolation configuration. These features, along with complete hardware redundancy, provides high reliability and it also supports a PCIe SSD accelerator card. It is a optimal choice for the database and business intelligence business, ERP and mission-critical applications.

OS SLES 11.3 for SAP HANA

Description

Huawei SAP HANA converged infrastructure solution is based on Huawei FusionCube server and distributed storage solution. Huawei

FusionCube follows open architecture standards, integrates blade servers, distributed storage, network switches and management

software in a 12U height chassis. SAP HANA software can be supported as one-stop delivery, appliance installation, linear expansion.

FusionCube has a deep performance optimization for the HANA in-memory database scenario. Huawei FusionCube supports 10GE

56Gbps IB switch, that can fully meet HANA memory real-time computing scenario on storage low latency and high speed network

switching requirements.

Highlights

Distributed PCI-E SSD storage pool brings 5 times less latency, 50 times more IOPS, 15 times more storage network bandwidth •Extreme performance of scale out solution , the fastest read/write and data loading performance, the fastest HANA system •recovery timeBased on a converged infrastructure optimized design, significantly improve the HANA density, and pre-optimized, one-stop •maintenance and unified management reduce operation costs
