To help its customers align technology with business goals, SAP recently completed an evaluation of its SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) solution. After conducting a survey of SAP BW customers to establish their current and future BI requirements, SAP designed a series of tests for SAP BW. These tests included building a 5.5TB data warehouse containing 1,1TB of business data, and simulating thousands of users executing many queries against the data. The objectives were to measure SAP BW's ability to build such a large data warehouse, and to deliver rapid response.
