SAP IQ Scalability

Mani Velayudhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, SAP Basis at The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company

The scalability of SAP IQ is not scalable in itself. It is software that is used to store data in the SAP NFS. You can expand the storage as much as you want. The top layer of the application continues to run. The solution is scalable in the sense that the storage units where we keep the data can expand.

We have approximately 15 people that use the solution from our SAP BW and other teams.

Multiplex has some limitations and bugs. Although implementing MPX is easy, I cannot say it results in the expected scalability.

The product is very scalable. You can scale it upwards and sideways — that is by adding new hardware or working with software solutions. This is the only product I know which will allow you to do both.

Our company is slightly smaller than many with only about 100 users. Most probably there are more, but this is on average. It all depends on the business climate.

None product-related and we were able to get around by tuning. Though as we add more data and more users we may have to consider IQ multiplex in the future.

No. I have seen deployments of datawarehouses with tens of TB's in used space and they scaled very easily to multiple applications.

Not yet. We haven’t had a need to expand our Sybase IQ system yet, but their multiplex architecture seems like a useful approach if/when we need to do so.
