The Reality of Running SAP Workloads on VMware SAP HANA Response Times 5000 4500 4000 3500 Seconds
• In the transactional world – Bursty sub-seconds workloads – SAP Sybase ASE, Replication Server • 10% of 250mSec is negligible • Is it even measurable at the application layer? • In the world of SAP HANA – Analytic or mixed workloads – Example response times • Without SAP HANA = 4620 seconds • With SAP HANA = 14.5 seconds • SAP HANA on vSphere = 16 seconds
