SAP In-Memory Computing – HANA
SAP HANA is essentially a high-end database product that offers superior performance – even on large volumes of data. SAP started with HANA in customer specific projects, then released certain applications like BO and BW on HANA. Now, they are working together with partners like us on solutions based on HANA, bringing HANA to a bigger audience. According to SAP:
“SAP HANA is a game-changing, real-time platform for analytics and applications. While simplifying the IT stack, it provides powerful features like: significant processing speed, the ability to handle big data, predictive capabilities and text mining capabilities.”
