What is SAP HANA? • SAP HANA combines database, data processing, and application platform capabilities in-memory. • The platform provides libraries for predictive, planning, text processing, spatial, and business analytics. • It runs massively parallel, thus exploiting the maximum out of multicore processors and subsequently enabling very fast query execution.
Analytics and Applications • Real-time analytics • The Categories of Analytics which HANA specializes • Operational Reporting (real-time insights from transaction systems such as custom or SAP ERP). This covers Sales Reporting (improving fulfillment rates and accelerating key sales processes), Financial Reporting(immediate insights across revenue, customers, accounts payable, etc.), Shipping Reporting (better enabling complete stock overview analysis), Purchasing Reporting (complete real-time analysis of complete order history) and Master Data Reporting (real-time ability to impact productivity and accuracy).
Data Warehousing (SAP NetWeaver BW on HANA) – BW customers can run their entire BW application on the SAP HANA platform leading to unprecedented BW performance (queries run 10-100 times faster; data loads 5-10 times faster; calculations run 5-10 times faster), a dramatically simplified IT landscape (leads to greater operational efficiency and reduced waste), and a business community able to make faster decisions. Moreover, not only is the BW investment of these customers preserved but also super-charged. Customers can migrate with ease to the SAP HANA database without impacting the BW application layer at all. • Predictive and Text analysis on Big Data - To succeed, companies must go beyond focusing on delivering the best product or service and uncover customer/employee /vendor/partner trends and insights, anticipate behavior and take proactive action. SAP HANA provides the ability to perform predictive and text analysis on large volumes of data in real-time. It does this through the power of its in-database predictive algorithms and its R integration capability. With its text search/analysis capabilities SAP HANA also provides a robust way to leverage unstructured data.
Real Time Applications • The Categories of Applications which HANA specializes • Core process accelerators – Accelerate business reporting by leveraging ERP Accelerators, which are non-disruptive ways to take advantage of in-memory technology. These solutions involve an SAP HANA database sitting next to a customer’s SAP ERP system. Transactional data is replicated in real-time from ECC into HANA for immediate reporting, and then results can even be fed back into ECC. Solutions include CO-PA Accelerator, Finance and Controlling Accelerator, Customer Segmentation Accelerator, Sales Pipeline Analysis, and more. • Planning, Optimization Apps – SAP HANA excels at applications that require complex scheduling with fast results, and SAP is delivering solutions that no other vendor can match. These include Sales & Operational Planning, BusinessObjects Planning & Consolidation, Cash Forecasting, ATP calculation, Margin calculation, Manufacturing scheduling optimization (from start-up Optessa), and more.
SAP HANA Features and Benefits: • The key features of SAP HANA can be summarised as follows: • The in-memory technology lets users explore and analyse all transactional and analytical data in real time from virtually any data source. • Source-agnostic data access & integration services allow accessing and indexing external data from across the entire organisation and adding them to existing analytical models. • Real-time analytical processing can be performed to analyse business operations in real-time using huge volumes of detailed information while business is happening. • Data can be aggregated from many applications and data sources without perturbing in any way the on-going business transactions.
Views of business information can be persisted in a Persistent Data Repository, and reconstituted in case of a crash. • Real-time Replication Service can be used to access and replicate data from SAP ERP. • Tight integration with SAP Business Objects BI solutions for insight and analytics. • SQL and MDX interfaces for third- party application access. • Unified information modelling and design environment. The great advantage here is that all data models are purely virtual, and calculate results based on the underlying detailed operational data. • Simplification of existing models, of modelling and re-modelling. • Reduced costs through simplifications in hardware, maintenance and testing.
