### Deployment

OVHcloud provides an OVF template that includes the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications operating system, which is pre-configured to receive an SAP HANA installation.

In order to meet the vCPU/RAM ratio requirements for OLAP and OLTP workloads in a production environment, OVHcloud recommends three models of virtual machines.
The number of vCPUs depends on the number of vCPUs for a half socket or an entire socket. It is important to note that VMware and SAP do not support configurations with an odd multiple of 0.5 socket, such as 1.5 socket, 2.5 socket, etc.

Below, you will find tables showing the sizes of SAP HANA virtual machines that meet this recommendation and use all of the memory for each number of vCPUs.

**First generation**

| Host | Socket | vCPUs | Memory | SAPS |
|---------------|:------:|:-----:--------:|:-------:|
| SAP HANA 1536 | 0.5 | 24 | 384 | 41,664 |
