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.

that will be transferred into BIA
• --> please download the latest version of the ABAP Report from the
SAP Marketplace (SAP Note-917803)
• 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
ABAP Report in detail only over these Cubes (that will be shifted
into BIA!!)

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!
