How good does it get with HANA 2.0 ScaleOut & MDC?

[former_member605187]

Hello, Gurus, as fellow SAP BASIS Consultant I was asked by a customer if the resources in the picture would be sufficient to run 2 separate SAP S/4HANA systems for a Research project on ERP.

As you can see, the landscape consists of two physically separate clusters – one for Development and one – for Production. The latter has two Application Nodes (AS) as well as two HANA DB Nodes (DB), as well as 150 TB shared SAN1 resource. The smaller physical cluster has only one AS and a smaller sized SAN2. The SANs may seem quite provisioned, but there is also this NON-SAP part of the same project that could require this extra resource.

From my experience, the best approach would be TDI - implement Scale Out SAP HANA 2.0 SPS04 on the DB nodes + both SANS, and use MDC for a Production and Development Tenants.

Question is – will it work? And is there even more optimized use of the present resources?

A hint: On our test premises, we were able to start a S/4HANA 1609 IDES by SAP even only on a single DualCPU 64G node with SAP HANA 2.0 SPS03.

Hi Stefan,

I think your proposed approach will work.

But, according to my experience, it seems it is more common to have different systems (DEV/QAS/PRD) running on different HANA systems, rather sharing the same HANA instance.

Best regards,
