Bridge options between virtual and physical servers were
cumbersome
● Overlay Networks or Destination Network Address Translation
● Multiple network interfaces for each server
● Shared management networks (security concerns)
Physical HANA appliances had huge trade offs
● Physical storage, difficult to re-configure system on the fly
● Very Long Procurement Times (months vs days)
● HW failures could take days/weeks to remediate
Multiple management tools / consoles needed to manage

Bringing Bare Metal INTO the Public Cloud
Speed

Reliability
By bringing high memory metal into the VPC, the HANA
servers look like a VM...feel like a VM...with no trade offs
Simplified Networking
● HANA server has 1 IP address (customer defined VPC)
● No introduction of shared/mgmt networks
Backed by Elastic Virtual Storage (AWS EBS)
● AMIs and Snapshots all still work as expected
● Easy switch out of systems and configs
Procurement time in hours, not days or months.

Whirlpool Corporation Success….Emergency Sandbox
In 2018, Whirlpool Corporation Latin America needed an emergency
change in its 6 TB HANA environment. No full size test systems were
available, and there was only 3 days before testing needed to start.

Refreshing test data has typically meant 5+ days of downtime in a test

without additional environments for each landscape.
