SAP HANA

The SAP HANA in-memory computing platform can help you dramatically accelerate analytics, business processes, sentiment data processing, and predictive capabilities. It is a revolutionary platform that’s best suited for performing real-time analytics, and developing and deploying real-time applications. At the core of this real-time data platform is the SAP HANA database which is fundamentally different than any other database engine in the market today

SAP HANA is designed to replicate and ingest structured data from SAP and non-SAP relational databases, applications, and other systems quickly. One of three styles of data replication – trigger-based, ETL-based, or log-based - is used depending on the source system and desired use-case. The replicated data is then stored in RAM rather than loaded onto disk, the traditional form of application data storage. Because the data is stored in-memory, it can be accessed in near real-time by analytic and transactional applications that sit on top of HANA.

Real-time analytics as supported by SAP HANA have numerous potential use cases including:

  • Profitability reporting and forecasting,
  • Retail merchandizing and supply-chain optimization,
  • Security and fraud detection,
  • Energy use monitoring and optimization, and,
  • Telecommunications network monitoring and optimization.
