I was building a business case for a solution a few years ago. I solicited a product lead to help with gathering data to support the development of the solution. When I asked him what the market opportunity was for this potential offering, he replied “it’s HUGE!” Huge? How do I measure “huge”? $10M? $100M? $5B? That offering never saw the light of day.

Is $750,000 a lot of money? As with many things in life, it depends. Annual salary? Most folks will say that $750,000 a year is doing pretty well. Retirement fund? I’m going to need a bunch more than that. A house? Hmmm – the median price of a single-family home in Boulder County, Colorado in 2021 was about $785,000. So $750,000 isn’t quite enough to be “typical” in the housing search.

Ask SAPi

what is this?

These examples illustrate the need for quantitative data. One person’s “extra large” is another’s “small.”  We need ways to quantitively, and absolutely, size opportunities, capacity, and more.

Do you wonder if one or more of your SAP landscapes is small, medium, or large? Or even huge? Even better, do you wonder about capacity planning for your SAP landscapes? How much capacity do you need now? How much will you need later? The answer “a lot” isn’t terribly helpful. Wouldn’t it be good to have this data? Or at least a fair estimate?

SAP HANA sizing tools

You might be thinking “Wait, doesn’t SAP have a Quick Sizer”? SAP sure does—and their Quick Sizer is a lot more involved than the NetApp^® sizing calculator. Just to be clear, the NetApp SAP sizing tool is not a replacement for SAP’s Quick Sizer. It’s a tool that helps answer the question “How much is a lot?” So go ahead and play around with it—have a ton of fun.

After you’ve played around with the NetApp SAP sizing calculator to your heart’s content, check out NetApp SAP resources and make an appointment to visit with a NetApp SAP expert—no obligation. Zip. Zero.Nothin’.It’s fun—trust me.
