SAP HANA

Access the data you need in real time – with SAP HANA in-memory database services

At the core, SAP HANA is a relational database management system (RDBMS). It combines OLAP and OLTP processing into a single in-memory database – eliminating disk bottlenecks and offering groundbreaking performance. This ACID-compliant, in-memory columnar database stores compressed data, offers parallel processing across multiprocessor cores, and supports single instruction multiple data (SIMD) commands.

In-Memory Database

Become a Best-Run Business

Stop using yesterday's data to make today's decisions. With SAP HANA in-memory database software, you can run advanced analytics alongside high-speed transactions – and get accurate, up-to-date responses in a fraction of a second. The in-memory database eliminates predefined aggregates, materialised views, and data duplication between operational and decision support systems. So the real-time data you need is at your fingertips – 24/7.

One database for everything

With SAP HANA, all your transactional and analytical data can live in a single database. This means you have access to the exact data you need in real time – all the time.

Rapid Innovation and Digital Transformation

Find out how an in-memory database from SAP enables rapid data access to and deep analysis of live data, so you can act decisively in the moment.

Improve business continuity and reduce downtime

SAP and Intel co-innovate to deliver SAP HANA support for Intel Optane DC persistent memory support. This allows you to process larger volumes of data in real-time with increased memory capacity while reducing TCO through lower data management and storage cost. 

Free course: SAP HANA 101

Follow this self-paced tutorial to learn more about the key characteristics of the SAP HANA in-memory database. The course is free – and no technical knowledge of SAP HANA is required.  

Hybrid Transactional Analytical Processing (HTAP)

SAP HANA offers Hybrid Transactional Analytical Processing (HTAP) functionality to "break the wall" between transaction processing and analytics. SAP HANA is a single data platform that serves both transactional and analytical workloads delivering in-memory analytics on live transactions without data duplication – enabling customers to be more agile and make “real-time" business decisions.

SAP Transanalytics

SAP HANA offers the leading in-memory database technology for Hybrid Transactional Analytical Processing (HTAP).

Why use SAP HANA for your next data mart?

SAP HANA simplifies your platform for analytics data marts with machine learning and predictive analytics, data management, powerful search and rules engines, and multiple data analysis engines, including time series, streaming, graph, and spatial and text. 

Analytic Data Marts

SAP HANA supports numerous advanced analytics workloads all within a single database. 

Data modelling

Run business logic close to your data

SAP HANA makes it easy to build complex business logic using graphical modelling tools, decision tables, core data services, and pre-built business function libraries. You can embed your logic into stored procedures and run it inside the database to avoid unnecessary data movement. The best part? Your algorithms will run faster in SAP HANA because models take advantage of highly optimised in-memory calculation engines.

Multitenant Database

Run multiple tenant databases as one

With SAP HANA multitenant database containers, you can manage several databases as one. All tenant databases share the same memory and processors – however they are securely isolated from one another, and each has its own users, catalog, repository, data and log files, and services. Assign dedicated resources to each tenant to optimise database performance. And cut costs by backing-up, patching, and recovering all databases at once.

SAP HANA Multitenant Database Containers

Learn how the SAP HANA platform supports multitenant databases to let you manage several databases as one and keep them securely isolated from each other.  

Benefits of multitenancy

By running multiple tenant databases as one, you can lower costs, optimise system resources, simplify database security and maintenance, and more.

Multi-Tier Storage

Cost-effectively manage large data volumes

With SAP HANA dynamic tiering, your frequently accessed data remains in memory, while your rarely accessed data is moved to disk. This lets you cost-effectively manage large data volumes without being limited by memory size. Your applications can access all data independently of where it is stored – and you can modify your database storage preferences at any time to meet user expectations.
