Production HANA workloads must have a throughput capacity of at least 1,024 MB/s List of HANA-supported instances in this link hana/data, /hana/log, /hana/shared, and /usr/sap must have their own volumes This means no HANA Scale-out, distributed EBS is Amazon Block-level Storage, attached to EC2 instances, suitable for DATA and LOG, but not recommended for the shared filesystems. SAP customers are quite familiar to the EFS NFS for shared filesystems, but it cant be used for large DATA and LOG volumes. Elastic File System (EFS) is an OS-agnostic network file system based on NFS. With SAP on AWS, we have two main storage options, Amazon EFS and EBS. To achieve optimal performance, the attached storage solution used for SAP HANA DATA and LOG volumes must meet SAP’s storage KPI. SAP HANA’s peculiarity is that it stores and processes its data in memory the attached disk protects against data loss by saving it in persistent storage locations. Since FSx for ONTAP has only been certified for HANA, I will only compare it with the other solutions available for HANA, excluding other Databases options. Windows uses the SMB protocol, OpenZFS uses NFS, and ONTAP supports NFS and SMB file protocols plus iSCSI for shared block storage.įSx for ONTAP supports all the features NetApp delivers in its on-premises systems, so SAP on AWS users can also get features such as SnapMirror, SnapVault, and FlexCache, and this is the added value of this offering. However, Amazon FSx represents the most profound integration for ONTAP with a public cloud because AWS sells FSx for NetApp OnTap as a fully managed service for file systems, featuring data management capabilities that support various use cases FSx for Lustre is Linux-only and uses a performance-optimized Portable OS Interface file protocol. CVO is a virtual OnTap instance that runs in the cloud, while CVS is a file service that NetApp manages. NetApp sells Cloud Volumes OnTap (CVO) and Cloud Volumes Service (CVS) through some public clouds. While other traditional NAS products such as Dell EMC PowerScale, Hitachi NAS, and IBM Spectrum Scale can migrate data to the public cloud, NetApp has gone more profound in its cloud integration. Since it is super interesting, let’s explore it in this blog. Some essential benefits and limitations exist. Later in May 2022, SAP certified this technology for its workloads running on AWS. In September 2021, Amazon released Amazon FSx for ONTAP. Ontap is NetApp’s flagship NFS technology for storage.
