SAP Customer Case Study Business Background European B-2-B stationery and office supply retailer Operates in 30+ countries 30% growth expected within next 4 years Challenges Long-running invoicing batch run times Cost and effort to administer large number of SAP databases New B-2-B process couldn‘t be supported on current system © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Customer’s Requirements Goals Expose “real“ SAP workloads to an Exadata environment Measure performance increase (throughput & response times) Show how Oracle technology can help minimize the impact of hardware and software failures for the business Conditions Use standardized Oracle Exadata configuration No manual tuning or configuration changes All tests administered by customer's staff © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Conducting Proof of Concept at Oracle Solution Centre in UK Preparation Installation of the entire IT infrastructure for SAP Upgrade 6.5 TB data from Oracle Database 10g to Exadata Generate simulation of online users in a web shop Generate batch job load for invoicing Execution Environment Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 Half-Rack 5 x Sun Blade 6270 M2 running Solaris10 for Application Tier All tests administered by customer's staff © 2011 Oracle Corporation

Results from Proof of Concept “Faster performance out-of-the-box” Online User Activity Simulated over 6,000 concurrent users Response times of ~0.9s with 17% CPU utilization across 4 nodes Unable to “saturate“ system Batch Job Results Simulated over 900 batch jobs running in parallel Reduced batch run times by 2/3rds (11:30 to 3:45 hours) Only 2 Database Server nodes used for batch jobs © 2011 Oracle Corporation
