What is SAP HANA?

SAP HANA is an in-memory, Column-Oriented, Relational database management system developed and marketed by SAP AG.

HANA Stands for High Performane Analytic Appliance.



How does SAP HANA work? 
SAP HANA combines an ACID-compliant database with application services, high-speed analytics, and flexible data acquisition tools in a single, in-memory platform. As an in-memory database, SAP HANA stores and retrieves data used by applications. It can also act as a modern-day warehouse, integrating data from a wide variety of data sources with live transactional data to deliver up-to-date insights. Built-in application services support the development and deployment of new business apps that exploit data from the digital highway and leverage advanced data processing – text search and analytics, predictive analytics, spatial data processing, graph data processing, and streaming analytics – to deliver deeper insight from Big Data and the Internet of Things at unprecedented speed.

HANA Features and Benifits:
  • HANA is a in-memory database.
  • Multi Core architecture.
  • Massive parallel scaling.
  • Huge Data throughput performance.
  • Dramatic decline in Price/Performance.
  • Column store = Faster Queries
  • Greater Compression Rates 5-30X ratios.
  • Analyse large data sets.
  • Complex Computations.
  • Parallel Processing.
  • Flexible Modeling.
  • No Data Duplication.
  • Real-time analytical processing.

Database and Application Platform Convergence with SAP HANA 



Deployment

SAP HANA can be deployed on-premises as an appliance from a certified hardware vendor or on certified hardware with tailored data center integration (TDI). With tailored data center integration (TDI) approach, existing hardware components such as storage and network can be reused. Both horizontal and vertical scalability are supported. HANA is also available in the cloud as a Database as a Service on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, IBM Softlayer, Huawei FusionSphere, HP Helion, or the SAP HANA Cloud Platform (PaaS) as well as SAP HANA Enterprise Could (MCaaS).

AFRAID OF A.I. TAKING YOUR JOB? YEP, YOU LIKELY ARE

Despite the promise that robots and artificial intelligence could help many people do their jobs better, most simply aren't buying it. And a lot of people are still afraid that emerging technology will steal their jobs. Only 4% of 2,000 people surveyed said they thought emerging technologies would make their jobs easier, while 48% of those familiar with the idea of disruptive technologies fear it will cause layoffs in their industry and more than 38% said it might cost them their jobs personally. Computers powered by artificial intelligence are smart enough to threaten a range of jobs, whether computers developing treatment plans for cancer patients or Amazon.com opening a grocery store without checkout lines. That impact is already being felt. The World Economic Forum expects automation, including AI, to result in the loss of at least 5 million jobs globally by 2020. Who's the most anxious about being replaced by a robot or another smart system? Those working in pub

Features and Benefits of SAP HANA

Database Features of SAP HANA that contribute to making it unique in the industry In-Memory, Columnar,  Massively parallel Database Processing The SAP HANA platform permits online transaction processing and online analytical processing workloads using a single data copy on a single platform. It stores data in high-speed memory, organizes it in columns, and partitions and distributes it among multiple servers. This delivers faster queries that aggregate data more efficiently while avoiding costly full-table scans, materialized views, and analytic indexes. Full ACID compliance SAP HANA helps ensure compliance with all requirements for the ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) standards. A two-phase commit protocol protects atomicity, while multiversion concurrency control and distributed transactions help guarantee consistency. A built-in transaction manager safeguards isolation, and the logger provides durability by writing commit-log entries to disk.
