Converting SAPS

[Former Member]

All ,

We are in the process of Sizing Portal . we are using the Quick Sizing tool from service.sap.com . My question is once we arrive a certain SAPS ( eg 4000 SAPS ) , how do we

1) Convert SAPS into the hardware parameters .

2) If we are going for a distributed architecture ( Central instance + Dialog instance ) , Is each machine should have the same hardware capacity as we sized ?

hi jayant

1) you should send the number of saps to your hardware vendor, they now exactly which servers to use and they'll make you an offer

or another harder approach:

go to http://www.sap.com/solutions/benchmark/index.epx

find benchmarks of hardware suitable for you and order it

but keep in mind, that your number of saps should be like 60% of benchmark numbers, if you want to have good performance and reliability

2) nope, it's not mandatory

your DI's may be cheaper and weaker in performance
