I was the key associate for Cisco's SAP HANA Solution as I involved in Build, Plan, Execute - all phases.

Worked in SAP Walldorf, Germany for SAP Certification/Performance Benchmark for Cisco's SAP HANA Solution. Later also implemented the same in Medtronic.

Below is the picture(front & rear-side, alongwith Cisco UCS details) of Lab setup within WDF-03 building. Ulrich and myself setup the rack and powered on the servers. And later I have done the installation & benchmark certfication for Cisco UCS Server.

For this, I was coordinating with Uwe Heinz and Adi.

I have finished all the activities in 2010 but due to winter holidays, Cisco UCS Server was certified by SAP on February'2011.

After this, I delivered the following:

- Cisco HANA Technical Deployment Guide (later treated as Bible for Cisco Advanced Services)

- Cisco Handbook for SAP HANA Appliance

- SAP HANA Support Model Framework

And then instrumented Technical Demo/Presentation Materials for Global Events like SAPPHIRE, SAP TechEd, CiscoLive,etc.

Cisco Handbook for SAP HANA Appliance made for the General Troubleshooting Guidelines required for Cisco Support Team :

1) System is not booting up

2) Not connecting to the Network

3) Fusion-IO card is working properly or not

4) Database is up or not

5) SAP is up or not

6) Database and SAP basic problems

7) How to shutdown/startup SAP HANA

8) BIOS or Firmware Update Procedure Guidelines

9) OS Patches, Security Patches

10) When to involve other vendors and so on…

11) a. Contact nos./Internal Hotline for other support vendors

b. Escalation process management

c. SAP contacts
