A combination of Hana with Hadoop combines the advantages of high-speed processing with a potent storage solution. When investing in Hana or considering future data growth, the fundamental question is which data deserves a "place in the sun".
Is the value of each piece of information so great that you purchase a larger environment or invest in a Hana extension? Doesn't it make more sense to process only the most valuable and quickly needed data in Hana?
By intelligently moving data from Hana to Hadoop, Hana costs can be kept constant despite increasing data volumes, while benefits increase.
Access to the outsourced data is still possible. Thus, Hadoop provides the low-cost storage and enables to apply analytic techniques to big data in a cost-effective way.
This allows data lakes to be built up and their added value to be increased by further technologies. The hypotheticals Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 are generating huge amounts of data:
Data from sensors, networks, machine-to-machine communication as well as unstructured information from texts, social media data, mailboxes & SharePoints or even video/audio information.
Storing and indexing this information in Hadoop makes 100 percent of the information not only findable and analyzable, but also linkable to business data through the linking mechanisms of Hana technology.
An ideal mix of the high-performance database Hana and the Hadoop platform opens up new use cases and completely new paths in the field of real-time analytics, as Datavard and HP know.
