Solutions with Pure Storage: FlashStack for SAP HANA TDI
Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) are designed, tested, and documented to facilitate and improve customer deployments. This CVD describes a FlashStack reference architecture for deploying SAP HANA TDI on Pure Storage FlashArray//mR2 using Cisco UCS compute servers, Cisco MDS Switches and Cisco Nexus Switches. Cisco and Pure Storage have validated the reference architecture with SAP HANA workload in its lab. This document presents the hardware and software configuration and offers implementation and best practices guidance.
"Virtualization, service orientation, and the Internet have converged to sponsor a phenomenon that enables individuals and businesses to choose how they'll acquire or deliver IT services, with reduced emphasis on the constraints of traditional software and hardware licensing models."
- CHRIS HOWARD, RESEARCH VICE PRESIDENT, GARTNER
