This process simplifies the workflow, because changes are made only once for the data and log volumes for all the hosts that are being created.

When you use snapshots for data protection, you need to plan for extra capacity. This field will add additional size (%) for the data volume.

## Best practices about proximity placement
49
44
50
45
To deploy SAP HANA volumes using the application volume group, you need to ensure that your HANA database VMs and the Azure NetApp Files resources are in close proximity to ensure lowest possible latency. You can achieve close proximity using either of the following deployment methods:
51
46
52
47
***Availability zone volume placement (preferred)**
53
-
Select the availability zone for the volumes and select Standard network features for the deployment. Neither a proximity placement group nor VM pinning are required for this method. Before you can use this workflow, you must [register the feature](application-volume-group-deploy-first-host.md#register-for-extension-1).
48
+
Select the availability zone for the volumes and select Standard network features for the deployment. Neither a proximity placement group nor VM pinning are required for this method.
54
49
***Proximity placement group with VM pinning**
55
50
The application volume group uses a proximity placement group linked (or anchored) to the database VMs. When passed to the application volume group, the PPG is used to find all Azure NetApp Files resources in close proximity to the database servers. Volumes are deployed using Basic network features.
56
51
57

58
52
> [!IMPORTANT]
59
53
> A PPG is only anchored and can therefore identify the location of the VMs if at least one VM is started and kept running for the duration of all AVG deployments. If all VMs are stopped, the PPG loses its anchor, and at the next restart, the VMs may move to a different location. This situation could lead to increased latency as Azure NetApp Files volumes are not moved after initial creation.
