Your company processes a large volume of data, and you want to extract information to create meaningful reports. You want to understand how SAP HANA can help you with data storage and analysis needs and future proof your company in preparation for the expansion of the internet of things (IoT).
You also want to update your current system landscape to a next generation solution and you are interested in what the new SAP S/4HANA suite can offer and the deployment options that are available.
Based on the technology available at the time, this was the optimal way to provide an overall view of business data with good response times, especially when you add accelerator software/hardware.
A database model was either built for OLTP optimization or OLAP optimization, but not both. This brought with it complexity, redundancy, and, of course, latency. It was usual for today’s business figures to be only available tomorrow for analysis once the data was extracted and loaded to a reporting system.
SAP HANA is a High Performance Analytic Appliance database.
SAP HANA can handle both OLTP and OLAP processing from a single data model.
Therefore, we do not need to move transactional data to a separate system. This means transactional and analytical applications run off the same tables and data is available in real-time at every level of detail.
