A
t CEBIT 2018, Huawei released
the SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter
Integration (TDI) solution. This
elastic, reliable and efficient solution fully
satisfies the data centre and business
consolidation needs of large enterprises.
Based on Huawei’s high-end all-flash
storage OceanStor Dorado18000 V3
and KunLun Mission Critical Server, the
highly reliable high-performance HANA
TDI solution is one of the most powerful
SAP HANA infrastructure solutions in the
industry. It supports up to 200 SAP HANA
nodes and each node can be expanded to
32 TB, which is the highest among all SAP
certified infrastructures. Utilising the RAS2.0
technology, Huawei KunLun Mission Critical
Server provides industry-leading reliability.
Huawei OceanStor Dorado18000 V3 ensures
end-to-end high availability of SAP services.
Together, they lay the foundation for the
most reliable high-performance SAP HANA
TDI solution in the industry.
Huawei’s SAP HANA TDI solution adopts the
OceanStor Dorado V3 and OceanStor 5000F
V5 series all-flash storage systems, enabling
SAP HANA databases to be seamlessly
integrated into existing data centre
architecture. This allows the databases
to offer robust flexibility, unwavering
reliability and efficient management and
maintenance. In addition, existing data
centre IT investments and processes can be
reused to reduce the TCO.
With superb elasticity, reliability and
efficiency, this newly released solution
helps enterprises build converged data
centres that support on-demand resource
expansion. The solution provides shared
storage resource pools for multiple
services to improve resource utilisation
and offers one of the industry’s best

scalability of up to 200 nodes for enterprise
storage, certified by SAP, to support the
rapid growth of enterprise business. In
addition, the solution uses dedicated
management plug-ins to work with the SAP
Landscape Management (LaMa) platform,
automatically manages SAP applications,
databases, networks and IT infrastructures
from end to end and takes advantage of
Huawei storage snapshots to increase
the setup speed of the development and
testing environment by 10 times compared
with the traditional mode.
Focusing on enterprise analysis applications,
SAP HANA, launched by SAP in 2011, is a
product based on in-memory computing,
which supports real-time application
and analysis operations. This speeds up
both business intelligence and complex
computing. To provide robust flexibility, SAP
defines the TDI mode for HANA deployment.
Therefore, enterprises can choose to run
HANA hardware components based on their
needs and deploy the SAP HANA system
using the TDI solution.
Meng Guangbin, President of Huawei’s
Storage Product Line, said: “Huawei is
the storage vendor to put NVMe into
commercial use. Specifically designed for
the heavily-loaded critical applications,
Huawei’s all-flash storage meets the
storage requirements of enterprise-class
applications such as databases, virtual
desktops and server virtualisation. This allows
it to effectively meet solid-reliability and
high-performance standards in SAP HANA
scenarios. Huawei will work with SAP to
build a high-performance data processing
platform that helps enterprises accelerate
core data processing.” n
