FEATURES Box 6-1: How the Platform and Database Work SAP HANA™, an in-memory data platform, is deployable as an on-premise appliance or in the cloud. The platform is best suited
for performing real-time analytics, and developing and deploying real-time applications. At the core of this real-time data platform is the SAP HANA database, as seen in the figure below.
SAP HANA: In-Memory Data Platform for Real-Time Analytics and Applications, Available Via Appliance and Cloud Development
Source: SAP Precision Frequently, companies go deep within their datasets to ask complex and interactive questions while simultaneously “going
broad” (i.e., working with enormous datasets that are of different types and from different sources). They also face the need for current data (preferably in real time), for high speed (rapid response time and true interactivity), and for doing all this without any pre-fabrication (no data preparation, no pre-aggregates, no-tuning). SAP HANA™ is designed to address this set of needs or any subset thereof in any combination. Other database management systems on the market typically work well with either transactional or analytical workloads, but
not both. When transactional database management systems are used for analytical workloads, they require separating workloads into different databases: Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) databases. Due to its hybrid structure for processing transactional and analytical workloads fully in-memory, SAP HANA™ combines the
best of both worlds. Users need not take the time to load data from a transactional database into a reporting database, or even build traditional tuning structures to enable that reporting. As transactions are happening, they can be reported live. By consolidating two landscapes (OLAP and OLTP) into a single database, SAP HANA™ provides companies with massively lower cost of ownership in addition to increased speed.
