Uneeb,

This is what I understand.

You have two different approach to get HANA run on production:

1. Get HANA appliance from HW vendor with HANA pre-installed.

* HW vendor will install HANA and tune for you

* One-stop shop, cover Linux license, HW/SW support from single window.

* These are usually high-end model, more expensive.

2. Get TDI Certified/Supported server and/or storage, then install Linux+HANA by yourself.

* These Servers & Storages should be in the TDI white list

* You have to install HANA on your side. SAP require E_HANAINSXXX Certified person to do it.

* Purchase Linux license by yourself.

* You need to coordinate multiple vendors to resolve issue.

* Validate your setup by running HWCCT (Hardware Configuration Check Tools)

* CHEAP. You can even use existing box.

For non-production box, check this blog. You can save more.

TDI : Tailored Datacenter Integration, you better check it out.
