• Key Concepts: 
  Scale-out is a feature of SAP HANA that allows for the addition of multiple nodes to a single system. This allows for increased scalability and performance, as well as improved availability and redundancy. It also allows for the use of multiple hardware configurations, such as different processor types and memory sizes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Scale-out can be used to increase the performance of an SAP HANA system by adding additional nodes. This can be done by adding additional hardware, such as additional processors or memory, or by adding additional software components. The nodes can be configured to run different tasks, such as data processing or analytics. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using scale-out, it is important to consider the hardware and software requirements of each node. It is also important to consider the network configuration and how the nodes will communicate with each other. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the nodes are properly configured for optimal performance.
