SAP Sizing – CPU Rules of Thumb
(revalidation with latest ISICC sizing data recommended)
•Per previous charts, we can conclude :
– 1 concurrent / active user requires 12 SAPS Backend (ECC)
– + 10 SAPS (EP, PI, BI) .
– = 22 SAPS SAP NW landscape
– 1 named SAP NW user requires 11 SAPS
•Now it‘s easy to map this to CPUs and Models
– tbd. (~2000-3000) SAPS/core for ECC 6.0 for POWER7 systems
– tbd. (~1000-2350) SAPS/core for ECC 6.0 for Intel/AMD based systems

SAP Sizing – Some Memory Rules of Thumb
(revalidation with latest ISICC sizing data recommended)
Server=
x+y SAPS
total capacity
QS SAPS
result = x
• Memory Recommendations
–6…8 GB per 1000 SAPS (Quick)sizer output
–assumes an ABAP and Java mix (80%:20%)
–Consequently, server capacity is MEMORY bound
–
• Above values are OK for a single SAP instance on a
server/LPAR.
• Add a minimum of 2 GB for each instance in case you
consolidate several SAP instances on a single server /
partition.
• Consider some additional memory for virtualization
features – see separate chart

18. © 2012 IBM Corporation
SAP Sizing – Basic I/O Rules of Thumb
(revalidation with latest ISICC sizing data recommended)
• 2,5 SAPS (DB+App-Sv) generate 1 I/O operation per second
• 1 concurrent SAP NW user generates ~9 I/Os per second
• A single 15k rpm disk is capable to support a maximum of 200 I/Os per
second
–in other words: per 22 concurrent SAP users configure one disk drive
–resultingly, disk configuration is not capacity, but I/O driven
• Disk Controller
–RAID mechanisms have impact on aggregate I/O rates of storage
subsystem.
•e.g., RAID 10 increases READ throughput (reads from 2 disks) but
WRITE is reduced
• Adapters
–SCSI, FC, SATA, NAS, iSCSI

IBM i 7.1 benefits for SAP customers
IBM i Version 7.1 Technology Release 3 (TR3) delivers for SAP on IBM i clients
additional optimization developed by the SAP and IBM labs especially for SAP
applications running on i.
The SAP on IBM i enhancements are available by simply becoming current with
the IBM i info apar for V7.1. Replacing all SAP 7.x kernels with the latest SAP
7.20 EXT kernel is also recommended to fully realize all of the optimization
provided by the development teams at SAP and IBM.

IBM i for SAP – Joint Strategy and Roadmap
“Our commitment to our IBM i clients, ISVs and business partners is solid
and unchanged. With our clearly defined processor and software roadmap,
we are making substantial investments in the future of IBM i as an
important, strategic element in the IBM systems portfolio.
Colin Parris
Vice President, IBM Power Systems

… It is SAP's objective to release all SAP Business Suite and related SAP NetWeaver
deliverables such as new releases, enhancement packages and support packages
synchronously for all supported platforms. IBM DB2 for i and IBM i as one of these
platforms is available to customers since 1995 and there are no plans to change
this for current and future deliverables of SAP Business Suite and SAP NetWeaver.

The SAP Business Suite applications and the underlying SAP NetWeaver technology are supported on various
database and operating systems ("platforms") as described in the SAP Netweaver Platforms Availability Matrix
("PAM"). The SAP NetWeaver PAM documents the broad platform coverage of the SAP Application Servers and the
more restricted platform coverage of selected additional technology components (SAP livecache, SAP TREX, Adobe
Document Services.. ).
It is SAP's objective to release all SAP Business Suite and related SAP NetWeaver deliverables such as new releases,
enhancement packages and support packages synchronously for all supported platforms. IBM DB2 for i and IBM i as
one of these platforms is available to customers since 1995 and there are no plans to change this for current
and future deliverables of SAP Business Suite and SAP NetWeaver.
Most of SAP's technology components are supported on IBM i as on other platforms and for the few unsupported
components SAP and IBM recommend to use Windows as supplementary operating system. All of the SAP Business
Suite and SAP NetWeaver deliverables on IBM i have even been available to customers during early product
introduction ("RampUp"). The utilization of new release of IBM i is usually certified for all releases of SAP products on
IBM i in Mainstream Maintenance only 4 weeks after IBM General Availability.
A joint SAP and IBM platform team is responsible for optimal adaption of SAP technology to IBM i and optimal
utilization of IBM technology with SAP. This team is strongly committed to functional completeness, timely
availability maximum quality and optimal support of SAP products on IBM i.
