SAP-Solution: Hadoop

There are new developments in the IT industry every day. This makes it hard to decide what you should really focus on, what you should invest in to make your business a data-driven one.

Many companies are just starting out with Big Data. They have initial ideas. The potential is being explored. SAP also has different approaches to the topic, depending on which department you talk to.

For SAP customers, container technologies like Kubernetes are growing increasingly important. One example of this development is the innovative SAP solution SAP Data Hub which leverages the SUSE Container as a Service (CaaS) Platform as well as SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) Micro OS as open source solution. The increasing containerization generates business value.

Why digitization and transformation are only possible with a holistic approach and comprehensive data management, and how you can consistently make your company fit for the challenges ahead.

With Hana, SAP has a real success model on offer for processing and analyzing large volumes of data. The open source community also has a powerful technology in the form of the Hadoop ecosystem. Classic competitive situation? No, a real dream team - when the advantages of both platforms are combined.
