SGI UV 300H Scale-Out Solution for SAP HANA

Surpasses 800TB of in-memory computing capacity.

Silicon Graphics International Corp. (SGI) announced that enterprises can leverage the Intel-based SGI UV 300H server in a multi-node cluster (scale out) to run SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) on SAP HANA or SAP BW/4HANA.

The cluster nodes can later be reconfigured as single-node systems with one to 32TB of shared memory (scale up) to run SAP S/4HANA and other real-time applications. SGI also announced that deployments of the UV 300H as a single-node system provide in total over 800TB of in-memory computing capacity to organizations running the SAP HANA platform. These announcements reflect firm’s broadening in performance data analytics and innovation to achieve insight and gain competitive advantage with SAP HANA.

UV 300H is SAP-certified under availability in a clustered scale-out configuration to run SAP BW on SAP HANA or SAP BW/4HANA, using four to sixteen eight-socket nodes and up to 56TB of in-memory computing capacity. When business lines wish to move to real-time analytics utilizing SAP Business Suite on SAP HANA, SAP Bank Analyzer, SAP S/4HANA Finance, or other SAP S/4HANA applications, the clustered systems can be fully repurposed to form single-node systems with four to 32 sockets. By avoiding the need to ‘rip and replace’ multi-node clusters when single-node systems are required, IT organizations can enjoy considerable cost savings by protecting investments and reduce time to solution.

More than 100 single-node UV 300H systems have been installed in organizations worldwide to provide data analytics in real time with SAP HANA and enable business lines to know when, where and how customers are buying without delay; view inventories, supply chains or financials with up-to-the-second accuracy; and spot market changes early and adjust with precision. These systems deliver in total over 800TB of in-memory computing capacity – reflecting customer capacity growth in excess of 300% over the past twelve months.

Highlights:

  • UV 300H is SAP-certified under availability in a clustered scale-out configuration to run SAP BW on SAP HANA or SAP BW/4HANA, using four to sixteen eight-socket nodes and up to 56TB of in-memory computing capacity. Customers can leverage firm’s in-memory computing technology in multi-node configurations, and later broadly reconfigure their system investments when moving to real-time applications that require single nodes.

  • More than 100 single-node SGI UV 300H systems have been installed in organizations worldwide to provide data analytics in real time with SAP HANA. These company’s systems deliver in total over 800TB of in-memory computing capacity – reflecting customer capacity growth in excess of 300% over the past twelve months.

Technical information:

  • UV 300H is a model of the UV 300 supercomputer and purpose-built for SAP HANA.

  • Scale-up capacity for SAP HANA, SGI UV 300H is SAP-certified under availability as a single-node system with four to twenty sockets and one to 20TB of cache-coherent shared memory. Utilizing a modular chassis architecture, the system scales up seamlessly in four-socket increments.

  • UV 300H is SAP-certified under availability as a multi-node system that scales out from four to 16 nodes and, allowing for a minimum of one failover node, with up to 120 sockets and 56TB of shared memory.  Each eight-socket node consists of two chassis that can be re-connected to form single nodes with up to 32 sockets and 32TB of shared memory.

  • Collectively, UV 300H systems have performed with 99.99% uptime, with many configured in HA and DR configurations to provide ‘five 9s’ (99.999%) application availability.

  • Featuring Xeon E7 v4 or v3 processors, 7th generation company’s NUMAlink technology, and pre-installed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA, UV 300H can be deployed as a pre-configured single-node or multi-node appliance or SAP HANA tailored data center integration.

For large enterprises that plan to migrate to SAP S/4HANA but wish to begin their journey to SAP HANA with SAP BW, our new SGI cluster offering is unquestionably the optimal solution,” said Jorge Titinger, president and CEO, SGI. “The scalability of the SGI UV 300H architecture coupled with our expertise in mission-critical environments provides an ideal path to real-time business with SAP HANA.
