The purpose of this test study was to examine whether performance or user experience would be significantly impacted when using a geodatabase deployed with SAP HANA RISE as compared to one co-located with other ArcGIS system components. The results show that when properly resourced, both systems deliver similar performance, with no significant differences in hardware utilization or conducted workflow times.
Every organization should still perform their own testing to evaluate the right hardware that effectively balances cost and performance for them. As workflows and usage patterns change, routine testing should be completed to identify any necessary changes and optimize infrastructure investments.
