SAP 17 Edge - Performance between old CPU licence and new Core License

2,249

Hi Group,

We are currently migrating from Sybase 11 to SAP 17 and moving from 2x CPU licenses to Core licensing via OEM Anywhere. I understand from reading previous posts that the 1x CPU is equivalent to 4x Cores in respect to the license model. Therefore our current server will move to 8 cores. As we are using the OEM version, we can extend the number of cores beyond 8 if required.

My question is related to performance. My current example, a server with 2 CPU's, 8 cores each totally 16 cores. My understanding and testing indicates that Sybase 11 can access and utilize all 16 cores. Therefore installing an 8 core v17 license could degrade the over performance of the solution and may be perceived as a downgrade by the client?

In the above configuration, should I be purchasing the same number of core licenses as the server (16) to remain equivalent to v11 or is there a performance increase offered by v17 which offsets the halving of processing power?

Thanks in advance

Roger
