but the question is if
the machine has enough RAM for the database.  Our dual-Xeon system
from IIRC 2007 has 24GB of RAM, not sure how big it could be
configured; OTOH, we have a single-Xeon system from 2009 or so with
32GB of RAM (and there were bigger Xeons in the market at the time).

The minimum requirement of SAP HANA is 64 GB of memory, but typical
ranges are from 256GB to 1TB.

Interestingly enough, it will run on selected systemw, which only
have Intel processors, and little-endian POWER 8 to 10.  No AMD,
no ARM, no zSystem.
