HANA KunLun

Solution Description

Based on the x86 architecture, Huawei's KunLun SAP HANA appliance embraces an open ecosystem and allows for lower TCO. It delivers powerful computing capabilities and leverages efficient HANA in-memory computing to accelerate data analytics and drive real-time business insights for enterprises. KunLun supports smooth scale-up and perfectly meets enterprises' requirements for long-term business growth.

The KunLun engineered system for SAP HANA integrates multiple advanced technologies was developed by Huawei, SUSE, and SAP. Kunlun accelerates data import during memory computing by storing database log volumes on ES3000 SSDs. Huawei's own NC interconnect chips expand CPU resources and exchange signaling and data in nanoseconds. SUSE improves process scheduling to optimize the hyper-scale computing resources of KunLun NUMA architecture. This architecture forms the basis for the HANA parallel database that makes use of KunLun's scale-up capability. HANA senses the location of data in memory and assigns the closest CPU for rapid computation. Together, these features ensure that the performance of SAP HANA is given full play on the KunLun server.

Solution Advantages
