Preface
For effective use of this slide set, we strongly recommend to read through the preface!
• This slide set is primarily intended as a working tool for the SAP Competence Center; providing support for
our partners and customers.
• Each of the SAP solutions presented is based on two certified HP ProLiant servers. These proposals are
intended to provide a general reference only; however, these proposals do not replace customer specific
sizing!
• Mixing the different SAP applications might require different server & storage configurations as proposed in
this guide.
• This is not a marketing document to position different HP platforms with regard of SAP configurations – it is a
tool for daily sales work.
• For sizing requests please contact:

• 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.
