SAP HANA Sizing
Sizing is a term which is used to determine hardware requirement for
SAP HANA system, such as RAM, Hard Disk and CPU, etc.
The main important sizing component is the Memory, and the second
important sizing component is CPU. The third main component is a
disk, but sizing is completely dependent on Memory and CPU.
In SAP HANA implementation, one of the critical tasks is to determine
the right size of a server according to business requirement.
SAP HANA DB differ in sizing with normal DBMS in terms of –
Main Memory Requirement for SAP HANA ( Memory sizing is
determined by Metadata and Transaction data in SAP HANA)
CPU Requirement for SAP HANA (Forecast CPU is Estimated not
accurate).
Disk Space Requirement for SAP HANA ( Is calculated for data
persistence and for logging data)
The Application server CPU and application server memory remain
unchanged.
For sizing calculation SAP has provided various guidelines and method
to calculate correct size.
We can use below method-
1. Sizing using ABAP report.
2. Sizing using DB Script.
3. Sizing using Quicksizer Tool.
