Planning your deployment

Make sure that you are already familiar with the fundamental components and options that are provided by IBM Cloud Classic Infrastructure for SAP. Before you start with the deployment of servers, make sure that you also read the Get Started section.

Intel Optane persistent memory (PMem) is available on the Bare Metal servers. You have three memory options for PMem on the Bare Metal servers, 1.5 TB, 3.0 TB, and 6.0 TB. Which option you choose depends on the:

• Application that you want to run, for example BW or BW/4 HANA.
• SAP sizing, which determines the amount of memory and CPU that you need.

Network and storage configuration, disaster recovery, high availability, backups, and system replication are all configured and managed as part of the Bare Metal provisioning and operation.
