SAP Solution: OLAP

Reportage: A short story about the long road - In-memory computing with the Hana database: When the concepts of Hana were first introduced within SAP, I thought that any database with enough memory is an in-memory computing database and correspondingly fast. But at least I wasn't the only one.

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.

S/4 Hana promises real-time business thanks to Big Data evaluations in real time. The principle of real-time is not easy for many companies to grasp. What does it mean in concrete terms? What opportunities does it open up? How can the opportunities be used for your own business?

Big Data has now become the subject of public discussion. Recently, a panel discussion held by the Association of Bavarian Business (VBW) in Bad Neustadt was devoted to the question of how big data can be refined and what opportunities arise from it. The panel included representatives from universities (TU Munich, University of Passau), industry (Siemens) and IT (FIS-ASP).

In order to make the use of Hana worthwhile, it is evident that a constantly high performance is provided. Those who rely on Suse receive performance-enhancing features free of charge.

Since the moment SAP tried to position the Hana database in the IT market, the term "data mining" has taken on a new meaning - Walldorf has a mission: fast data solution seeks complex data problem.

Hana's TDI configuration Tailored (Datacenter Integration) is more flexible and scalable than the appliance configuration. However, the changed role of storage and the backup requirements of business-critical systems must be taken into account during planning.

With Hana, SAP has been developing a new technical basis for its applications for several years. The motivation for this may be that a technological paradigm shift is imminent with non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
