9. ASUG (Americas SAP User Group) Webcast
Scale-Up Architecture Makes Deploying SAP HANA Simple
Hosted by IBM
Pfizer completed a proof-of-concept of a 5TB SAP Business Warehouse application on an Oracle system to evaluate a move to SAP HANA. This 5TB scale-up system was created on the IBM Power Systems platform under the direction of SAP and IBM. This joint session will explain SAP’s road map for SAP HANA on Power architecture and Pfizer’s rationale and lessons learned during this exciting project. Pfizer has now moved from development into production and will share the results from this recent experience.
Speakers: Joe Caruso, Director, Technical Architecture, Pfizer Alfred Freudenberger, SAP Infrastructure SME, IBM

35. SAP HANA Delta-Merge Process
Column store table - comprised of a Main storage and a Delta storage all located in RAM
Delta storage optimized for write operations
Main storage is optimized for reads
Use of Delta tables addresses performance issues of loading directly to compressed columns.
Merge process takes the data out of the Delta structures and puts it into the Main structure
This is a very CPU/Memory intensive task (!!!)
Power delivers up to 4x memory bandwidth, 4x CPU threads vs. x86!
