Question
You plan to deploy an SAP landscape on Azure. The landscape will use SAP HANA databases that run on Azure virtual machines. The landscape will contain four Azure virtual machines that will have the SAP Web Dispatcher role. You need to minimize network latency between the web dispatcher virtual machines and the HANA virtual machines. What should you do?
Options
- AEnable Accelerated Networking on the virtual machines.
- BConfigure Azure Virtual Network Manager.
- CEnable large send offload on the virtual machines.
- DConfigure ExpressRoute Premium.

Explanation
Run SAP NetWeaver in Windows on Azure Performance considerations To optimize inter-server communications, use Accelerated Networking. Most general-purpose and compute-optimized VM instance sizes that have two or more vCPUs support Accelerated Networking. On instances that support hyperthreading, VM instances with four or more vCPUs support Accelerated Networking. Note: Accelerated Networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) on supported virtual machine (VM) types, greatly improving networking performance. This high-performance data path bypasses the host, which reduces latency, jitter, and CPU utilization for the most demanding network workloads. Without Accelerated Networking, all networking traffic in and out of the VM traverses the host and the virtual switch. The virtual switch provides all policy enforcement to network traffic. Policies include network security groups, access control lists, isolation, and other network virtualized With Accelerated Networking, network traffic that arrives at the VM's network interface (NIC) is forwarded directly to the VM. Accelerated Networking offloads all network policies that the virtual switch applied, and it applies them in hardware. Because hardware applies policies, the NIC can forward network traffic directly to the VM. The NIC bypasses the host and the virtual switch, while it maintains all the policies that it applied in the host.
