can one hana handle several BW systems

[Former Member]

Experts:

We want to use one hana to serve 3 production systems BI7.01 with different SIDs.

1)  is hana designed to handle several BI the same time?

2)  if we can,  how to calculate how many licenses we need since hana's license is decided by memory size?

Thanks very much!

Hi,

Please find the answers for your queries.

1.   is hana designed to handle several BI the same time?

Yes.  HANA can handle several multiple BI at the same time. The processing time  of HANA is very much less compared with the other DB's.  But the release level should be greater than SP3.

2. if we can,  how to calculate how many licenses we need since hana's license is decided by memory size?

Refer 

Note 1644792 - License key req./installation SAP HANA databases (HANA SPS3)

See the link http://www.sap.com/solutions/technology/in-memory-computing-platform/hana/overview/index.epx for more information.

Please check and provide your feedback.
