FAQ of Profile List with Benchmarks and Specifications

{: #faq-profile-specs}

What are the certifications, highest benchmarks, and highest specifications available for different offerings?

{: #faq-profile-specs-maximums}

Below is a summary table of the certifications, highest benchmark scores, and maximum RAM configurations for each offering are shown in this table:

IaaS Type SAPS benchmark OLTP scale-up memory (GB) OLAP scale-up memory (GB) OLAP scale-out memory (GB)
IBM Cloud Intel Bare Metal with Local Disk 550,670
(world record of Intel-based IaaS)		 12,288 6,144 92,160 from 15 nodes (excl. 1 standby)
(world record of all IaaS)
IBM Cloud Intel Virtual Server 56,970 384 - -
IBM Power Virtual Server
(complementary offering from {{site.data.keyword.IBM_notm}} Power Systems)		 840,000
(world record of all IaaS)		 14,400 14,000 -
IBM Cloud for VMware 495,603 6,144 3,072 30,720 from 15 nodes (excl. 1 standby)

Do you have a full list of Profile specifications, including SAP sizing for different workloads?

{: #faq-profile-specs-table}

Each list of Infrastructure profiles for SAP HANA database server:

Each list of Infrastructure profiles for SAP NetWeaver Application Server:

All SAP-certified infrastructure for SAP HANA also includes certification for SAP NetWeaver and SAP AnyDB. However this is not vice-versa, any SAP-certified infratructure for SAP NetWeaver only includes SAP AnyDB.

For a full list of all Infrastructure-as-a-Service Profile specifications in the {{site.data.keyword.ibm_cloud_sap}} portfolio (including complementary offerings from {{site.data.keyword.IBM_notm}} Power Systems), see the table below:

Those marked with * asterisk, are not listed on the SAP HANA Hardware Directory by SAP but are certified for running SAP HANA production systems. The directory lists the smallest, median and largest within each profile family. This action has been taken by SAP to avoid too many records, as the scalability of IBM POWER hardware enables significantly more granular sizing.
