To support today’s information-critical business environment, SAP HANA gives companies the ability to process huge amounts of data faster than ever before. The appliance lets business users instantly access, model, and analyze all of a company’s transactional and analytical data from virtually any data source in real time, in a single environment, without impacting existing applications or systems. The result is accelerated business intelligence (BI), reporting, and analysis capabilities with direct access to the in-memory data models residing in SAP in-memory database software.

Advanced analytical workflows and planning functionality directly access operational data from SAP ERP or other sources. SAP HANA provides a high-speed data warehouse environment, with a SAP in-memory database serving as a next-generation, in-memory
acceleration engine.

SAP HANA efficiently processes and analyzes massive amounts of data by packaging SAP’s use of in-memory technology, columnar database design, data compression, and massive parallel processing together with essential tools and functionality such as data replication and analytic modeling.

In today’s data-driven culture, tools for business analysis are quickly evolving. Organizations need new ways to leverage critical data on the fly to not only accelerate decision making, but also to gain insights into key trends. The ability to instantly explore, augment, and analyze all data in near real time could deliver the competitive edge that your organization needs to make better decisions faster, as well as to take advantage of favorable market conditions, customer trends, price fluctuations, and other factors that directly influence the bottom line.

Made possible through recent technology advances that combine large, scalable memory, multi-core processing, fast solid-state storage, and data management, in-memory computing leverages these technology innovations to establish a continuous real-time link between insight, foresight, and action to deliver significantly accelerated business performance.
