1 For directional guidance only. This is not a server selection guide. Actual server sizing is a relatively complex effort involving workload characterization including such considerations as type of application, size of workload, number of users, type of transaction, SLA response times, targeted utilization, level and estimation accuracy of workload baseline/peak/growth, physical or managerial constraints, need to maintain a single state at all times to ensure all users see the same results at any given time, cost to migrate to a scale-out alternative, and system availability requirements.

Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for informational purposes only. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. For detailed calculations, configurations and assumptions refer to the legal information slide in backup.

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions.

Memory Error Recovery Xeon-EX platform RAS feature for HA in HANA 1.0 production code:

HW patrolling mechanism allows to detect memory failures and application to recover from (“early kill”)

Memory MTBF becomes increasingly important with xTB In Memory DB

EX feature, previously seen only in RISC, mainframe, and Itanium-based systems

Application-level recovery unique in industry on Xeon platform

Demos at IDF, ISMC, WSM launch, YouTube,...

Memory-error recovery when app is accessing corrupted data (“late kill”)

• Challenge: repair data in memory that is in use

– “changing tires while the car is driving“

• Integrated in HANA 1.5
