  Correct Answer:

  

  Box 1: Ev3 series M Azure virtual machines

  The Ev3 series pricing is starting from $58.40 /per month.

  The E-series Azure VMs are optimized for heavy in-memory applications such as SAP HANA. These VMs are configured with high memory-to-core ratios, which makes them well-suited for memory-intensive enterprise applications, large

  relational database servers, in-memory analytics workloads etc.

  The Ev3-series VMs range from 2 to 64 vCPUs and 16-432 GiB of RAM, respectively.

  Example workloads include SAP HANA (e.g., E64s v3, E20ds v4, E32ds v4, E48ds v4, E64ds v4), SAP S/4 HANA application layer, SAP NetWeaver application layer, and more broadly memory-intensive enterprise applications, large

  relational database servers, data warehousing workloads, business intelligence applications, in-memory analytics workloads, and additional business-critical applications, including systems that process financial transactions of various

  nature...

  Incorrect Answers:

  On price: The M-series family pricing is starting from $1,121.65 /per month.

  Note: The M-series family of Azure virtual machines are memory optimized and are ideal for heavy in-memory workloads such as SAP HANA. The M-Series offer up to 4 TB of RAM on a single VM. In addition, these VMs offer a virtual CPU

  count of up to 128 vCPUs on a single VM to enable high performance parallel processing.

  Example workloads include SAP HANA, SAP S/4 HANA, SQL Hekaton and other large in-memory business critical workloads requiring massive parallel compute power.

  Box 2: Hana on Azure (Large Instances)

  The storage used in HANA Large Instances has a file size limitation. The size limitation is 16 TB per file.

  Box 1: Yes

  The following is a quick checklist of storage configuration best practices for running your SQL Server on Azure VM:

  Place data, log, and tempdb files on separate drives.

  Box 2: Yes

  Accelerated networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM, greatly improving its networking performance. This high-performance path bypasses the host from the data path, which reduces latency, jitter, and CPU utilization

  for the most demanding network workloads on supported VM types.

  Box 3: No

  Note: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size frame (packet), specified in bytes, that can be sent over a network interface. The MTU is a configurable setting. The default MTU used on Azure VMs, and the default setting on

  most network devices globally, is 1,500 bytes.

  Box 3: Yes

  To analyze network issue or measure network metrics you can test the connection using SAP's NIPING program. You can use NIPING to analyze the network connection between any two machines running SAP software.

• Question 170:

  HOTSPOT

  You have SAP ERP on Azure.

  For SAP high availability, you plan to deploy ASCS/ERS instances across Azure Availability Zones and to use failover clusters.

  NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  Hot Area:

  

  Correct Answer:

  

  Box 1: No

  You can't use an Azure Basic Load Balancer to create failover cluster solutions based on Windows Server Failover Clustering or Linux Pacemaker. Instead, you need to use the Azure Standard Load Balancer SKU.

  Box 2: Yes

  Azure Availability Zones is one of the high-availability features that Azure provides. Using Availability Zones improves the overall availability of SAP workloads on Azure.

  The SAP application layer is deployed across one Azure availability set. For high availability of SAP Central Services, you can deploy two VMs in a separate availability set.

  Box 3: Yes

  You must use Azure Managed Disks when you deploy to Azure Availability Zones.
