Do you have a full list of Profile specifications, including SAP sizing for different workloads?

Each list of Infrastructure profiles for SAP HANA database server:

Each list of Infrastructure profiles for SAP NetWeaver Application Server:

All SAP-certified infrastructure for SAP HANA also includes certification for SAP NetWeaver and SAP AnyDB. However, this certification is not vice-versa. Any SAP-certified infrastructure for SAP NetWeaver includes only SAP AnyDB.

For a full list of all Infrastructure-as-a-Service Profile specifications in the IBM Cloud® for SAP portfolio (including complementary offerings from IBM Power Systems), see the following table:

The following table can be copied into spreadsheet software. All profiles - without exception - are supported for SAP NetWeaver.

The profiles marked with * asterisk, are not listed on the SAP HANA Hardware Directory by SAP but are certified for running SAP HANA production systems. The directory lists the smallest, median, and largest within each profile family. This action has been taken by SAP to avoid too many records, as the scalability of IBM POWER hardware enables significantly more granular sizing. See SAP Note 2947579 - SAP HANA on IBM Power Virtual Servers for more detail.
