In the latest issue of E-3 magazine, the well-known author writes "noname@pe3.greatsolution.dev" on page 16 that there is specific Hana cloud code to provide advanced scalability of the Hana in-memory computing database in a cloud data center.

The project has been running at SAP for several months under the working title "Hana 3". The author's information could not yet be verified in the past few days since the editorial deadline.

The author claims that SAP is working on new Hana code specifically for use in cloud data centers. The poor acceptance of the Hana in-memory computing database by service providers and cloud vendors is due to its lack of scalability and weak multi-tenancy architecture.

According to the E-3 author, SAP has rewritten the entire code base of Hana, repurposing the original on-premises concept of Hana for cloud computing.

However, according to unconfirmed reports, puzzling anomalies keep occurring when transporting "classic" Hana applications to the new code base. According to SAP's project plan, Hana 3 should be officially introduced this year.

However, there was no announcement yet for the sales force at SAP Fkom 2020 in Barcelona.
