SAP HANA Network Requirements Whitepaper has been published



Just wanted to bring your attention to the publishing of the “SAP HANA Network Requirements” whitepaper, that can be found at: http://www.saphana.com/docs/DOC-4805

I’ve talked with some of you in the past in regards to:

  • What is the needed throughput for certain LAN segments;
  • What is the maximum latency admitted for synchronous replication;
  • What network segmentation must be implemented for HANA Network Integration;
  • Etc.


All of these and other questions are answered in this whitepaper.


For me, some aspects within the document caught my attention:

  • Recommended to have a maximum of 1 ms round-trip in the network connecting two sites when intending to implement synchronous replication;
  • Demand for the HANA Internal Network (for inter-node communication in a scale-out cluster) to deliver minimum of 2x9 GBit/s in full duplex;
  • Recommendation to have up to 9 network segments (with the implied demand for server network ports) for performance and security reasons…


Well, if this is a topic of your interest, be sure to reserve some quiet time to have a close look at this document as it is indeed very detailed.
I believe there are some aspects I would argue against or add something, but overall is a very good document for all that want to get started on these topics.

Also remember that I keep an exhaustive list of relevant SAP Technical Document to make it easier to you all to find what you are looking for.

Have a great reading!
