Preface  
For effective use of this slide set, we strongly recommend to read through the preface!  
This slide set is primarily intended as a working tool for the SAP Competence Center; providing support for  
our partners and customers.  
Each of the SAP solutions presented is based on two certified HP ProLiant servers. These proposals are  
intended to provide a general reference only; however, these proposals do not replace customer specific  
sizing!  
Mixing the different SAP applications might require different server & storage configurations as proposed in  
this guide.  
This is not a marketing document to position different HP platforms with regard of SAP configurations – it is a  
tool for daily sales work.

Preface  
Server Design & Performance:  
The term CPU is equivalent with socket or processors such as a two CPU Quad Core server contains 8 Cores.  
For availability and performance reasons, HP recommends for SAP ProLiant servers a minimum configuration of two  
processors or sockets.  
Depending on customer requirements in relation to data throughput (LAN; SAN); memory extension and scalability of  
the server it might be advantageously to choose 4-socket servers as they provide more PCI-slots (data throughput) and  
memory slots as 2-socket machines.  
In smaller system landscapes, we offer more powerful server systems than required by SAPS. With Intel Xeon or AMD  
Quad Core technology the systems offer huge CPU reserves.  
Although one CPU might be able to cover system requirements of smaller systems (especially for non productive  
environments), we recommend using two CPUs.  
For clarification – one 2.0 GHz Quad Core CPU costs about 250€ list price. Also bear in mind that two  
CPUs improve server memory addressing and redundancy!  
The sizes of the test- and quality assurance systems are related to the size of the given production system and serve as a  
general guide.  
The database sizes are based on SAP CC experiences.  
We strongly recommend to get in touch with our StorageWorks specialists in our SAP CC regarding the following topics:  
Selection of appropriate storage array like SWD All-in-One, storage blades, MSA, EVA or even XP, based on  
customer requirements  
Backup & restore and availability concepts considering recovery point, recovery time and general availability  
Consolidation of backup and the various associated topics like tape backup, virtual tape libraries, disk-assisted  
backup, local and remote mirroring including cluster integration with CLX or MetroCluster  
Value-added tax (sales tax) is not included in the prices (see separate excel worksheet) listed.

Preface: SAP System Landscapes – Basics!  
When running business critical processes on an SAP production system, you have to customize  
and develop on a separate SAP system, called the development system. Upon completion of  
a change, the change needs to be transferred to a  
quality assurance system (also called test system), where the changes will be tested with  
master data, ported from the production system. When it has been verified that the changes  
function correctly, these changes will be ported from the development system to the production  
system. Consequently, SAP recommends the implementation of at least three systems in every  
SAP project.  
On big systems, we recommend the additional installation of a lab system for testing new  
software versions and operational concepts. Another critical task handled by the lab system is to  
verify if backups from the production system can be restored, implying that the  
database size needs to be the same as that on the production system.  
If your production system is deployed on a cluster, SAP strongly recommends the  
installation of a lab system which is also operated in a cluster.  
HP recommends to provide high availability for production systems and to use a cluster generally  
for 300 users and above.

SAP ECC & CRM Sizing Considerations  
The following block diagram is user based. A user based sizing can be done by HP Sizer or SAP  
Quicksizer. Quantity based (requires expert know-how) sizing can only be done by SAP  
Quicksizer or SAP CC. The description refers to concurrent users; that means SAP users effective  
working on the system and not the number of SAP licenses or logged-on users. This is a good  
approximation; and this is verified by our experience; is a ratio of one concurrent user for two SAP  
licenses (50%).  
As every SAP system has to be customized to the individual customer requirements, it creates  
variable load. To provide for adequate system reserves, we estimate a minimum of 10 SAPS (SAP  
Application Performance Standard) for each concurrent user that is equivalent to a medium SAP SD  
(Sales & Distribution) user.  
The performance of the servers (CPUs) has increased during the last years; you have to put  
adequate memory into the servers. A rational starting base for production systems is to calculate 4-  
until up to 8 GB per Core. Be aware that you only get the feasible SAPS values of the respective  
servers when using sufficient memory (for instance 32 GB for 2- socket- & 64 GB for 4- socket  
servers).  
The size of the database is based on our experience and best practices. On smaller databases we  
have to prioritize performance instead of capacity.

SAP BI Sizing Considerations  
The SAP BI configuration examples represent 2 different sizes of BI  
landscapes, based on practical experience. The medium configuration  
represents the most common type. These examples are intended for a first  
budgetary proposal, when no detailed data quantities are available.  
Sizing BI-BPS based on user numbers is not possible!! The 2 examples are  
therefore without usage of BI-BPS. For BI-BPS data quantities are  
essential!  
A well-founded BI sizing has to be done by defining detailed data quantities  
for the SAP Quicksizer tool. To determine the data quantities, the operating  
departement and the BI consultant need to collaborate closely.  
Rough data estimations without existing blueprint about BI components  
(e.g. number of Info Cubes, ODS Objects ..), cannot lead to a valid sizing  
result. Even minor changes in the input parameters can change the result  
considerably.

This means that the customer has to decide in a first step which  
Cubes he will shift into BIA. In a second step he should run the

SAP EP 7.0  
Portal is Java only  
Load distribution is about 1:10 (DB vs. SAP)  
Portal sizing is only user-driven – Sizing parameters are number of users:  
logged in users for memory sizing  
active users for CPU Sizing  
about 500 active working users per core (SAP Component only)  
add one core for the OS and do not forget the 10% DB uplift  
about 6 GB memory per core; alternatively 6-8 GB per 1.000 SAPS  
DB size is about 140 GB (without using CM/KM/Trex) independend of the number of  
users  
Standard sizing does not include using of home-grown IViews – only SAP standard  
Front-end is a web-based infrastructure (Loadbalancer, ReverseProxy, SSL Termination,  
etc.) which is not included in the sizing but has to be considered

SAP SRM Sizing Considerations  
The SAP SRM configuration examples represent 2 different sizes of SRM &  
CCM landscapes, based on practical experience. The SRM small  
configuration and the CCM medium configuration represent the most  
common type.  
These examples are intended for a first budgetary proposal, when  
no detailed data quantities are available.  
A well-founded SRM sizing has to be done by defining detailed data quantities  
for the SAP Quicksizer tool. To determine the data quantities, the operating  
department and the SRM consultant need to collaborate closely.  
Rough data estimations without existing blueprint about SRM scenarios  
(e.g. self service procurement, plan driven procurement, service  
procurement …) to be implemented cannot not lead to a valid sizing result.  
Even minor changes in the input parameters can change the result  
considerably.

SAP APO Sizing Considerations  
The SAP APO configuration examples represent 3 different sizes of APO  
landscapes, based on practical experience. The medium configuration  
represents the most common type. These examples are intended for a first  
budgetary proposal, when no detailed data quantities are available.  
Sizing based on user numbers is not possible. The 3 examples are therefore  
based on business figures like characteristic combinations and different  
order types.  
A well-founded APO sizing has to be done by defining detailed data quantities  
for the SAP Quicksizer tool. To determine the data quantities, the operating  
department and the SCM consultant need to collaborate closely.  
Rough data estimations without existing blueprint about APO components  
(e.g. DP, SNP, PP/DS ..), locations, business processes to be implemented  
cannot not lead to a valid sizing result. Even minor changes in the input  
parameters can change the result considerably.

Preface  
The previous slides presented server- and storage characteristic information marked  
by alphabetic letters for use in the following slides. By combining the specifications  
from the T-shirt sizing data with the hardware data, you can build individual system  
landscapes and/or size the required components. Configuration and budgeting  
(German list price) details can be extracted from a separate Excel worksheet.  
Extra information on the server systems:  
As SAP (especially Java) generally allocates a huge amount of system resources, we  
recommend to apply a minimum of 8- optimal 16 GB RAM per server system; as well as  
for non-productive systems (behold server sizing categories A & I).  
All systems should be configured with redundant options such as host bus controller; fans  
and power supplies (see server configuration layout in the Excel sheet).  
For booting from SAN, you have to plan internal server disks for the page file anyway,  
otherwise performance problems will arise.  
Extra information to the storage solutions:  
Listed storage solutions are approved for running SAP; whereas in existing SAP  
landscapes the majority is using our Enterprise Virtual Arrays (EVA).

SAP system landscape proposals  
The following SAP landscape proposals reflect proven solutions that are in widespread  
use. A large number of environments with ProLiant server (increasingly blade  
environments) and Enterprise Virtual Storage Arrays have been placed in the market  
during the last years.  
Detailed technical and pricing (German list price) information on the following  
configuration examples is available (only for HP SAP partners) via a separate Excel  
worksheet. As the corresponding infrastructure, such as host bus controllers, FC  
switches- and cables, rack and accessory are included and separately illustrated, you  
are able to create individual landscapes for budgeting and method of resolution. The  
hardware building blocks are separated in rack, server, storage, backup, fibre channel  
server- and san components.  
The cluster examples are designed for NetWeaver 2004s. What’s new in 2004s is that  
only the critical components of a SAP system are clustered. These are the database and  
(A)SCS SAP instance (Message and Enqueue). Additionally SAP application servers are  
required to provide dialog, batch, update, spool and gateway services. It is  
recommended that the application server is configured as a log on group.

Assumption:  
Serverlayout =  
DL380; 2 CPU; 16 GB  
Sizing Considerations:  
Depending on customer requirements and landscape size the applicable servers could be 2; 4 or 8-socket servers; respective the corresponding blade servers as well  
To represent flexibility and for transforming the VMware concept the configuration layout; especially for memory and data throughput might in summary map out  
larger than in physical landscapes; especially in the erection phase. SAP CC recommends starting with a minimum of three pyhsical servers.  
Some more factors:  
customer requirements to availability, failover performance & desaster tolerance (such as VMware side recovery manager)  
user behavior  
the choosen SAP applications  
distribution of productive- and non productive systems  
To assure a successful course of SAP virtalization projects we highly recommend contacting SAP CC!
