SAP HANA (High-performance ANalytic Appliance) is a multi-model in-memory database that enables real-time processing of large datasets by storing data in memory rather than on disk. The column-oriented in-memory database design allows you to run advanced analytics alongside high-speed transactions – in a single system. Beyond a database, it serves as a server for storing and retrieving diverse data types and as an application server, enabling the development of intelligent applications using in-memory computing and machine learning. Available both on the cloud and on-premise, SAP HANA simplifies IT and propels digital transformation by offering seamless access to all data types.

Why is this so important?

It lets companies enable the processing of vast data volumes with minimal latency, allowing for immediate querying. SAP HANA distinguishes itself by utilizing in-memory, columnar storage to combine OLAP and OLTP, making it faster than traditional DBMSs. This innovative approach ensures quick data access and processing, setting a new standard for speed and efficiency in database management.

What is an in-memory database?

An in-memory database (IMDB) prioritizes storing data in RAM over traditional storage for quicker access and response times. SAP HANA, uniquely designed for in-memory first operation, enhances performance by balancing cost. Increasingly, due to technological advancements, IMDBs are applied in various fields like real-time analytics and customer experience management, beyond traditional high-speed applications like telecom and banking
