Licensing Dynamic Tiering - SAP HANA

[former_member184871]

Hello Community,

Please guide me on how to go for the Licencing of Dynamic Tiering. Following are my concerns:  

1. Is dynamic tiering come along with SAP HANA Enterprise Licence ? or it comes with BW on HANA licence ?
2. Is there a separate licence for dynamic tiering ? If yes, then does the license is dependent on the size of the extended storage ?

Awaiting response.

Regards

Kumar.

HI Kumar,

I get the answer from mentor Javier Menendez Calvo in SAP Enterprise Support Value Map for HANA.

What he said is that:

HANA dynamic tiering is licensed in units of compressed storage. You shall purchase the option in units of ¼ TB and there is no limit on the number of CPU cores that the dynamic tiering server may execute on.

As mentioned, in addition to the main host ( known as the worker), you can install a second SAP HANA dynamic tiering host (known as the standby) to provide failover functionality. You do not need a separate SAP HANA dynamic tiering license for the standby host, but it requires its own dedicated server.
