Discovering the Value of SAP HANA Cloud and Other Database Services

The root step of the Data to Value concept is storing data in storage systems like databases. The SAP BTP offers SAP HANA Cloud as the strategic database of choice. You can also enhance your SAP HANA Cloud with data lake capabilities. In addition to that, you can also utilize things like SAP ASE as a service or other services like an Object Store service. However, let's stay focused on SAP HANA Cloud.

Almost any type of cloud application can be developed and operated on the SAP Business Technology Platform. Besides the use of the powerful SAP HANA in-memory database in the SAP Business Technology Platform, data capabilities can also be implemented using other services such as Object Store, Redis, hyperscaler option, or PostgreSQL Service.
