SAP HANA Cloud in SAP Business Data Cloud
What is SAP HANA Cloud?
As the AI database for SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP HANA Cloud gives you a single multi-model engine to amplify agents and applications across all your data.
Bring the engine powering SAP Business Data Cloud’s business data fabric to your AI foundation.
Combine relational, graph, vector, spatial, and JSON data from a single engine.
Unify data models, preserving business semantics and running AI directly over all your data.
Scale compute and storage independently as demands shift.
Build across Joule Studio, SAP Business Application Studio, and third-party IDEs – all connected to governed data.
Converging every AI workload on a single database
This session shows data teams how to run AI workloads directly on governed data products in SAP Business Data Cloud, powered by SAP HANA Cloud.
Key benefits
Accelerate building agentic applications
Work with live, governed data across all models to ground every application and agent in trusted business context without duplication.
Improve AI cost predictability and lower TCO
Execute AI compute with native workload management and in-memory performance to reduce inference time and lower total cost of ownership.
Scale with elastic infrastructure
Develop and scale agents and applications without infrastructure constraints, supported by elastic compute and embedded business semantics.
Key features
Store and query multi-model data
Store, process, and query multi-model data in a single in-memory database, eliminating the need for separate transactional, analytical, and multi-model systems that introduce latency and disrupt conversational and agentic workflows.
Run native AI and semantic processing
Run vector search, knowledge graph queries, and machine learning directly inside the database, executing generative and predictive AI on live enterprise data using SQL-based functions, including support for persistent agent memory.
Predict outcomes from structured data
SAP-RPT-1 is a relational pretrained transformer model that delivers instant classification and regression predictions from structured business data at runtime, with no model training or machine learning expertise required.
Develop faster with unified, governed tools
Build context-aware applications and agents across no-code to pro-code environments, connected to governed data and SAP's business knowledge layer, with reusable data products that eliminate redundant data preparation.
Scale elastically with optimized performance
Scale compute and storage elastically with intelligent data tiering and native workload management to keep inference fast, costs predictable, and TCO low without added infrastructure complexity.
