A retail company runs its SAP ERP system on AWS. The system includes an SAP HANA database on an r5.8xlarge instance with 4TB of storage using a single EBS io1 volume with 16000 provisioned IOPS. The application experiences periodic slowdowns during end-of-month financial closing, which typically lasts for 2 hours.
