[ Stage
Information Explosion
COPA Data, Inventory, Sales Orders, Demand Planning, CRM Data, Transactions, E-mails, Unstructured Data, etc

Real-time decision making requirement

Expectation to have accurate and timely information for operational excellence, satisfying personal experience for customers and product leadership

Speed of Change
Adaptation of changing business environment and customer needs

To address above realities business undertakes extraordinary measures

Multiple Databases, Duplicate Information, Complex Systems, Aggregate Data, etc which are costly and dissatisfying most of the time.

[ Emerging Data Economy

Information is the oil of 21st century To Increase the Business Value of Information: Exploit growing volume, velocity and variety of data Enable evidence-based real time decision making Requires new mind-set, strategies and architectures "The task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees." , Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788-1860

[ What is SAP HANA?

HANA is a Analytic Appliance In-memory SAP Software + Special Hardware In-memory computing engine and database platform that can help you query multiple types of data sources in real time at speed and volumes

HANA is a database technology

SQL and MDX interfaces, relational stores, persistence, delta storage, set processing, fast inserts, max read concurrency, etc Row and Column Store with compression No materialized views or aggregates, they are computed on the fly

HANA is a platform Fundamental shift in the enterprise computing architecture One platform for transactions and analysis Database level computation, leaner applications concentrating only on user interaction and information presentation.

Real Experience. Real Advantage.

[ High performance ANalytics Appliance

SAP HANA SAP HANA is a flexible, data-source-agnostic appliance that enables customers to analyze large volumes of SAP ERP data in real-time, avoiding the need to materialize transformations. SAP HANA is a hardware and software combination that integrates a number of SAP components including the SAP HANA database, Sybase Replication technology and SAP LT (Landscape Transformation) Replicator. SAP HANA is delivered as an optimized appliance in conjunction with leading SAP hardware partners.

SAP HANA database The SAP HANA database is a hybrid in-memory database that combines row-based, column-based, and object-based database technology. It is optimized to exploit the parallel processing capabilities of modern multi-core/CPU architectures. The SAP HANA database is the heart of SAPs in-memory technology offering, helping customers to improve their operational efficiency, agility, and flexibility.

[ How it is possible?
Modern CPUs with multicore architecture and abundance of memory makes it feasible to delegate most calculations to database layer and unleashes the power of in-memory computing. However, in-memory database systems of the relational type based on row storage does not show significant advantages over leading
Multi-Core / Parallel Architectures Row and Column Store

DBMS with equivalent memory and caching.

[ Getting Data in to SAP HANA

Trigger-Based Replication

Trigger-Based Data Replication Using SAP Landscape Transformation (LT) Replication Server is based on capturing database changes at a high level of abstraction in the source ERP system.

ETL-Based Replication Extraction-Transformation-Load (ETL) Based Data Replication uses SAP Business Objects Data Services to specify and load the relevant business data in defined periods of time from an ERP system into the SAP HANA database. Log-Based Replication Transaction Log-Based Data Replication Using Sybase Replication is based on capturing table changes from low-level database log files. This method is databasedependent. (DB2)
