Virtualized SAP HANA on FlexPod Datacenter: Design Considerations and Best Practices

January 30, 2019

Support for running SAP HANA virtualized and Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI) option enable customers to align established data center processes and reuse existing infrastructure while implementing SAP HANA. SAP supports VMware vSphere 6.5 and 6.7 for virtual deployments in production scenarios of SAP HANA on certified appliances and TDI verified hardware configurations. Customers thus can gain the benefits of virtualization for their SAP HANA environments and optimize costs through more efficient resource utilization. With Intel® Broadwell (running SAP HANA 1.0 SPS 12) and Intel Skylake processors (with SAP HANA 1.0 SPS 12 Revision 122.19, or with SAP HANA 2.0, recommended), virtual machines with up to 128 virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and 4 to 6 terabytes (TB) of main memory are possible.
