Multi-Model Processing
What is a multi-model database?
A multi-model database is a single, integrated data platform that can store, access, and process different types of data to carry out multiple tasks. With a multi-model database, you can unify various data types and models into a single solution, without having individual technologies for each specific purpose.
Why multi-model?
SAP believes that a single, integrated suite of solutions is more beneficial than having individual technologies for each specific purpose. The resulting patchwork solutions lead to silos that hamper business agility and innovation. A unified multi-model data platform can help overcome these challenges.
