SAP HANA

Recently we have come across word "HANA",Now you thing about what is SAP HANA

Let's explore basic understanding regarding HANA

SAP HANA is the technology that allows you to perform massive analyses of real-time data in-memory. The in-memory database was created as a response to the business need to immediately access real data in real time. Retrieving information is a challenge, especially when a massive amount of data is handled. In-memory data reads around 15 times faster than a traditional database stored in the hard drive. Therefore, in-memory databases can read records in about 5 nanoseconds, as opposed to traditional databases, which read disk records in 5 milliseconds. Your applications, analytics, and programs will run faster in an in-memory envi­ronment such as SAP HANA. Using SAP HANA will be able to unlock new customer insights rapidly, because it provides you with data mining and predictive analytics and storage solutions, in addition to real-time operation.
SAP HANA is projected to be the platform for future SAP development, including analytics and applications. It currently provides you with an enhanced solution for data storing and analytics. Therefore, it’s important to understand the basic concepts as well as the overall technology.

SAP Business Suite enables companies to run their business closer to real-time by bringing together online transactional processing and online analytical processing into a single in-memory platform.

HANA analytics is to accelerate specific transactions or reports within the SAP Business Suite, as a secondary database side-by-side with existing DB. Specific transactions/tables are replicated to HANA upon posting of transaction.


The ERP Sales reports/transactions to be accelerated are then configured to read from HANA DB instead of traditional DB
