The reports on Coop above go into a lot of detail on their
experiences and it is a good read. But in case you’d like the readers
digest version I took the following key points from the studies.
1) Coop’s CAR HANA database went from an 8 node 320 x86 core scale-out environment to a 96 core HANA on Power E880 environment
2) Inventory Management jobs completed 5X faster after moving HANA to Power
3)
Coop moved their BW with a 768 core BW Accelerator to an LPAR on an
E880 with 85% fewer cores and again saw a 5X performance improvement for
BW workloads
4) Coop uses Power Systems technologies like Logical Partition Mobility to reduce outage windows for maintenance
5) Coop can now provision new HANA databases on Power Systems 20X faster than they could on x86
6)
Coop uses IBM Capacity Upgrade On Demand to activate more cores or
memory as needed as they grow (and they’re data is growing at a 30% per
year)
7) Coop plans to move their large SAP ERP on Oracle system to a 15 TB HANA on Power environment
8) Energy costs cut in half by going to Power Systems
9) 34X greater disk throughput on the HANA on Power environment compared to the x86 appliances according to the HWCCT reports
10) Half the disk latency on the HANA on Power environment compared to the x86 appliances according to the HWCCT reports
As you can see, Coop saw some pretty impressive results moving their HANA workloads from x86 to Power Systems.
