Select one:
Customers can only run a single HANA production instance
on a x86 server, whereas on POWER, multiple HANA
production instances can co-exist on the same server but
in different virtualized partitions (LPAR)

With POWER, the HANA database and S/4 application can

both run on the same server, but in different virtualized
partitions (LPAR)

With PowerVM, it is possible to run an S/4 production 

instance on a 8TB partition, a BW/4 production instance

in a 10TB partition, and a C/4 production instance in a
4TB partition, with complete isolation of resources
between partitions

It is not possible to propose to a customer a POWER server

with greater than 24TB RAM since the largest certified S/4
support is at 24TB (for scale-up)

Question 10

Correct Back Next

1.00 points out of 1.00

Customers have struggled to generate timely operational

reports because of the need to move data from their SAP ERP
systems to BW. What benefits would you like to talk to them
about running HANA on POWER?

Select one:
There is no need to transfer data by running ERP on HANA
with POWER systems with the scale-out capabilities of the
H922 and H924 systems

Since HANA is the strategic database for SAP applications,

the migration to a POWER appliance would reduce
implementation time

As HANA is an in-memory database, running HANA on a

bare-metal POWER system will guarantee access to the
larger memory and CPU threads available

HANA is an in-memory database and benefits from the 

high bandwidth between memory and CPU that POWER
has and allows both transactional and reporting from
the same database

Question 14

Correct Back Next

1.00 points out of 1.00

The customer you are about to visit has had issues with
availability of their existing S/4 on a HPE server. What
discussion will you have with this customer?

Select one:
With the better RAM to core ratio for POWER systems,
there will be less CPU cores required and, therefore,
reduce the likelihood of a system failure

POWER systems can use Live Partition Mobility (LPM) to

failover to another server in the event of a system failure

POWER Systems have a track record of 99.999% 

uptime with built-in design to prevent memory failures,

dynamic component de-allocation and on the fly repair
and fault isolation

POWER systems are equipped with Cores on Demand

(COD) and PowerVM, which allows the server to deallocate
defective CPU cores and allocate spare CPU cores to take
over, and/or dynamically move the HANA instance to a new
partition (LPAR) to prevent downtime in server component
failures

A customer is looking at migrating from ERP to S/4HANA at this

time. Why would it be a good time to do this migration on
POWER?

Select one:
SAP has announced that from 2025, S/4HANA and AnyDB
will no longer be supported on Intel x86 platforms. It is
best that the customers start the S/4HANA project on
POWER to avoid a hardware migration later

S/4HANA and POWER has been certified since 2015 

with over 1,300 HANA customers. SAP and IBM have

been working closely to optimized virtualization,
performance, resiliency and TCO for the best SAP
infrastructure available

POWER systems for HANA has been available since 2011,

and over 1,300 customers have chosen to run their SAP
HANA infrastructure on POWER

POWER9 systems servers are currently certified for SAP

HANA applications are the best in-class servers. These
servers are the only ones that support virtualization.
Customers will be able to run S/4 instances with up to
64TB of memory

Your customer is new to SAP applications and would like to

start a new project to implement S/4 in their business. The
customer has no POWER systems deployed within the company
How will you approach this opportunity?

Select one:
This is clearly a Greenfield implementation and your 

customer is not aware of the benefits of POWER. You

would explain the flexibility of PowerVM and how it can
reduce server sprawl by running the entire SAP
landscape within one server. This will also lower TCO in
the long run

Given that the customer is only familiar with x86 servers,

this is a Migration from x86 opportunity. You would brief
the customer on the flexibility of the PowerVM
virtualization capabilities of POWER systems and how that
it would take less management and keeping the TCO of the
S/4 infrastructure low. With the larger RAM capacity, the
POWER server can also grow with the business

Explain to the customer how HANA is an in-memory

database and that the key to good performance is a server
with larger RAM capacity. The migration from x86 servers
to POWER can be achieved with the assistance of IBM
Services

With the family of POWER servers, the customer can start

with the smaller 2-socket systems and have the flexibility
of scaling-out in a multi-node configuration or scale-up into
the enterprise servers as the business grows and never be
locked-in

Question 20

Correct

1.00 points out of 1.00

What is the advantage of using POWER servers over Intel x86

servers in a Tailored Datacentre Integration (TDI)
implementation?

Select one:
It is only with POWER systems that customers can reuse
their existing server infrastructure. Customers using Intel
x86 servers must purchase new SAP certified servers for
their TDI implementation

With TDI phase 5, workload-base sizing is now 

available, and with POWER's advantage of memory

(RAM) to core ratio, customers can run the same
workload on fewer POWER cores

POWER systems are the only certified servers available for

TDI implementations

Only customers on POWER systems have a choice of SAP

certified enterprise storage providers
