This form is designed to reflect SAP's Quick Sizer tool as of March 2006.

Version 4 (3/20/06)

The aim of this sizing form is to provide a structure for entry of the information required to size the required hardware for an SAP project. The form is based off SAP's Quick Sizer, as are most of the help texts - the text of these are reproduced from Quick Sizer with permission of SAP. No sizing calculations are generated as part of the form, SAP's Quick Sizer is used to generate the sizing in SAPS, their standarised load base. The form being provided as a convenience to enter the required input. SAP might make changes to their Quick Sizer tool that are not reflected in this form. SAP's service marketplace should be seen as the authoritive place for sizing information and notes.

Sizing the architecture for a SAP implementation is vital to the success of a SAP implementation. Sizing is an iterative process and should be revisited as you make discoveries through the phases of your implementation.

There are two types of sizing that can be performed - a User-Based Sizing or a Transactional-Based sizing. It is best to provide both user information as well as transactional information to get the most accurate sizing result.

A user-Based sizing is typical in the beginning of a project, with the mix and usage of modules and users. Although a user-based sizing can be reflective of what will be seen by production go-live, it is best to re-visit the sizing with any updated information to verify that the original planned architecture is still valid. Once transaction information and other particulars are discovered through the various phases of the implementation, the sizing should be checked to determine if any of these discoveries require any changes in the architecture design.

The sizing information requested in this document is based on the most current SAP sizing methodology. Customers that require a sizing for any other solution based on solutions not covered in this SAP Sizing Request Form should contact their Dell representative or send an email to [email protected] to get further information.

In areas such as BW's InfoCubes and ODS objects, where more object descriptor lines might be need than are provided, insert new lines in the appropriate section of the worksheet.
