Implementation Best Practices for IBM DB2 BLU Acceleration with SAP BW on IBM Power Systems by Dino Quintero,Yukiko Itaya,Speitim Velic,Adriana Melges Quintanilha Weingart,IBM Redbooks Pdf

BLU Acceleration is a new technology that has been developed by IBM® and integrated directly into the IBM DB2® engine. BLU Acceleration is a new storage engine along with integrated run time (directly into the core DB2 engine) to support the storage and analysis of column-organized tables. The BLU Acceleration processing is parallel to the regular, row-based table processing found in the DB2 engine. This is not a bolt-on technology nor is it a separate analytic engine that sits outside of DB2. Much like when IBM added XML data as a first class object within the database along with all the storage and processing enhancements that came with XML, now IBM has added column-organized tables directly into the storage and processing engine of DB2. This IBM Redbooks® publication shows examples on an IBM Power SystemsTM entry server as a starter configuration for small organizations, and build larger configurations with IBM Power Systems larger servers. This publication takes you through how to build a BLU Acceleration solution on IBM POWER® having SAP Landscape integrated to it. This publication implements SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse Systems as part of the scenario using another DB2 Feature called Near-Line Storage (NLS), on IBM POWER virtualization features to develop and document best recommendation scenarios. This publication is targeted towards technical professionals (DBAs, data architects, consultants, technical support staff, and IT specialists) responsible for delivering cost-effective data management solutions to provide the best system configuration for their clients' data analytics on Power Systems.

The primary objective of this IBM Redbooks publication is to provide guidelines to help you implement your SAP Business Information Warehouse on DB2 UDB ESE. Two major considerations when building a business information warehouse are scalability and performance. In this book, we have demonstrated the wide range of scalability of BW when implemented on DB2, while maintaining the performance requirements that are so critical. The parallelism and data partitioning capabilities of DB2 Universal Database ESE, enables a robust, highly scalable, and high performance business information warehouse. For a common understanding, we first discuss the concepts of data warehousing and then describe the SAP architecture and robust component capabilities of the SAP business information warehouse. To help in your implementation, we provide guidelines for how to configure SAP BW when it is built on DB2. We also describe and discuss the key capabilities and parameters to help you get the best from DB2. Key topics such as sizing, partitioning, performance tuning, and systems administration, are discussed to assist in the implementation and maintenance of your system. This book will help enable you to more quickly and easily implement a robust SAP BW on DB2 UDB ESE.

SUSE and IBM Power Systems for SAP HANA by Michael Tabron,Alex Cabanes,IBM Redbooks Pdf

For organizations charting their way forward in today's digital economy, the clear imperative is to find better ways of extracting more value from data. By gleaning insight from data regarding customer preferences and business operations, organizations can respond to demand more effectively and better deliver the experiences that today's customers want. To this end, many organizations running SAP solutions seek to make the move to the SAP HANA database. SAP HANA offers the speed of in-memory data processing and the ability to combine transactions and analytics on a single platform for insight in real time. However, considerations at the level of IT infrastructure can make or break the success of an SAP HANA implementation. What the database runs on, in other words, matters significantly. This IBM® Redguide publication explores the value of deploying SAP HANA on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications and the IBM Power platform with IBM POWER9TM processors. Both offerings are optimized to help your organization reap the rewards of SAP HANA while also transforming IT service delivery more generally. Designed for enterprise-grade operations, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications offers an open-source software-defined infrastructure (SDI) that is optimized for SAP workloads. Reliable, fast, and secure, it also supports the automation that is needed to substantially free up IT staff from service deployment and management duties. Power Systems servers support SAP HANA implementations according to the SAP Tailored Data Center Integration (TDI) 5.0 specification. Optimized for scale-up and scale-out scenarios and built to support virtual persistent memory, Power Systems serves help you provision faster, scale affordably, and maximize uptime by persisting memory across virtual machines (VMs) and multiple SAP HANA instances. Both SUSE and IBM have partnered with SAP for decades to fine-tune these offerings. Together, SUSE and IBM solutions offer a way forward for deploying, optimizing, and running SAP HANA implementations that is proven to be successful. This publication looks at various aspects of this combined offering in greater detail.

SAP HANA and ESS: A Winning Combination by Olaf Weiser,IBM Redbooks Pdf

SAP HANA on IBM® POWER® is an established HANA solution with which customers can run HANA-based analytic and business applications on a flexible IBM Power based infrastructure. IT assets, such as servers, storage, and skills and operation procedures, can easily be used and reused instead of enforcing more investment into dedicated SAP HANA only appliances. In this scenario, IBM SpectrumTM Scale as the underlying block storage and files system adds further benefits to this solution stack to take advantage of scale effects, higher availability, simplification, and performance. With the IBM Elastic StorageTM Server (ESS) based on IBM Spectrum ScaleTM, RAID capabilities are added to the file system. By using the intelligent internal logic of the IBM Spectrum Scale RAID code, reasonable performance and significant disk failure recovery improvements are achieved. This IBM RedpaperTM publication focuses on the benefits and advantages of implementing a HANA solution on top of IBM Spectrum Scale storage file system. This paper is intended to help experienced administrators and IT specialists to plan and set up an IBM Spectrum Scale cluster and configure an ESS for SAP HANA workloads. It provides important tips and bestpreferred practices about how to manage IBM Spectrum Scale''s availability and performance. If you are familiar with ESS, IBM Spectrum Scale, and IBM Spectrum Scale RAID, and you need only the pertinent documentation about how to configure a IBM Spectrum Scale cluster with an ESS for SAP HANA, see Chapter 5, "IBM Spectrum Scale customization for HANA" on page 25. Before reading this IBM Redpaper publication, you should be familiar with the basic concepts of IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM Spectrum Scale RAID. This IBM Redpaper publication can be helpful for architects and specialists who are planning an SAP HANA on POWER deployment with the IBM Spectrum Scale file system. For more information about planning considerations for Power, see the SAP HANA on Power Planning Guide.
