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.
