Simplifying the Deployment of Real-timeBig Data AnalyticsWork in the SAP Co-Innovation Lab with Cisco Unified Computing System and theIntel Distribution for Apache Hadoop Software simplifies big data deploymentsuse case BriefDeveloping a Big Data Solution at SAP’s Co-Innovation LabOctober 2013The SAP Co-innovation Lab is a hive of activity with developers, IT professionals,and business analysts working in concert to define new solutions based ontechnologies from SAP and its technology partners. A recent project broughttogether Cisco and Intel to develop a real-time Big Data analytics solution. Based onthe integration of SAP HANA with the Intel Distribution for Apache Hadoop software (Intel Distribution) running on Cisco Unified Computing System (CiscoUCS ) Common Platform Architecture (CPA) for Big Data, this platform uses inmemory processing to deliver real-time results from the analysis of Big Data.Version 1.0This certified platform is now available in the Co-Innovation Lab for developmentof innovative Big Data applications based on SAP HANA, the Intel Distribution,and Cisco UCS CPA for Big Data. The components work together seamlessly, andthe unified infrastructure makes it simple for IT managers to update the hardware,firmware, and software.ApplicationsSAP Business Objects BIOpen APIs and ProtocolsFederated AccessSAP HANA (In-memory)SAP Data Services (information management)Intel Manager for Apache HadoopSoftwareIntel Distribution for Apache HadoopCisco Unified Computing System
SAP HANA : Real-time Analyticsfor the EnterpriseSAP HANA is SAP’s in-memorydatabase, built for extremetransactional, analytical, and applicationlogic processing in one database. Theheart of SAP HANA is a massivelyparallel processing data store thatmelds row-based, column-based,and object-based storage techniques.SAP has already delivered severalnext-generation, targeted analyticapplications designed specifically toleverage the real-time functionalityoffered by SAP HANA, including SAP Smart Meter Analytics, and SAP CO-PA (Costing-based ProfitabilityAnalysis) Accelerator.SAP is developing additionalanalytics applications related toretail, financial, telecommunications,and other industries. SAP HANA ishighly optimized to interface withthe SAP BusinessObjects reportingand dashboarding portfolio. Its datareplication and integration capabilitiesvastly speed up the process of loadingdata into the database. Because it usesin-memory storage, applications on topof SAP HANA can access data in nearreal-time, for actionable insights.Enterprise customers can now takeadvantage of all their data throughthe integration of SAP HANA with theIntel Distribution. SAP Data Servicessoftware and SAP HANA Smart DataAccess technology enable SAP HANAto work in concert with the IntelDistribution, giving SAP HANA newcapabilities to move data of high valuefrom Hadoop storage into memoryand to federate queries to the IntelDistribution. To business analysts and ITadministrators, the system simply lookslike a large SAP HANA deployment.2SAPHANA SAP Data ServicesSAP HANASmart Data AccessSAP BusinessObjectsBI SuiteIntel Distribution for Apache* Hadoop*Intel Distribution for Apache Hadoop SoftwareIntel Distribution is a softwareplatform that provides distributed dataprocessing and data management forenterprise applications that analyzemassive amounts of diverse data. TheIntel Distribution includes ApacheHadoop and other software componentswith enhancements from Intel. Provenin production at some of the mostdemanding enterprise deploymentsin the world, the Intel Distribution issupported by experts at Intel with deepoptimization experience in the ApacheHadoop software stack as well asknowledge of the underlying processor,storage, and networking components.The Intel Distribution is designed toenable the widest range of use cases onHadoop by delivering the performanceand security that enterprises need.Along with the Intel Xeon processor,Intel Solid-State Drives, and Intel 10GbE networking, the Intel Distributionoffers a robust platform upon which theecosystem can innovate in deliveringnew analytics solutions. Intel deliversplatform innovation in open source andis committed to supporting the Apachedeveloper community with code andcollaboration.Cisco Unified ComputingSystem – A ValidatedFoundation for Intel Distributionand SAP HANACisco and Intel have a long historyof collaboration and innovation thatthey first demonstrated with theannouncement of the Cisco UCS. Morerecently, the two companies workedtogether to optimize deployment of theIntel Distribution on the Cisco UCS CPAfor Big Data. The result is an enterpriseclass solution that delivers performanceand capacity while reducing operationalrisk and accelerating deployment.Cisco’s work with SAP and Intel in theSAP Co-Innovation Lab extends theirSimplifying the Deployment of Real-time Big Data Analytics
