CPU, memory, network bandwidth and I/O capacity are the main resources that need to be considered while sizing hardware for an SAP BW application. Sizing should be based on number of concurrent users, the data volume and throughput. SAP has provided a tool, SAP Quick Sizer, for sizing based on user and throughput. Please check the SAP Service Market to access the tool.
