Architectural Decisions to maximize ANF investment in HANA N+M Scale-Out Architecture - Part 1
Do you have a large performance-sensitive SAP HANA footprint in Microsoft Azure? Are you looking to leverage SAP’s native resilience solution? Is operational flexibility at the top of your mind? If so, then look no further. This blog covers and answers the above-mentioned questions with Microsoft’s newer (since May 2019) PaaS storage service in partnership with NetApp, called Azure NetApp Files (ANF). In this blog series, I will focus on the technical execution aspects of running SAP HANA scale-out N+M on Azure NetApp Files from a Solution Architect’s point-of-view. More specifically, I will focus on how a solution architect would design, build, and operate the infrastructure, backup/recovery, and HA/DR components for a 2+1 scale-out scenario running on RHEL OS.
