Save costs on your HANA Hot Memory and start managing its growth
Your BW on HANA, BW/4 HANA or HANA Native SQL Data Warehouse keeps growing in size, year after year. Don't buy more hot memory licenses and hardware just yet. Put SAP HANA Data Tiering into a best practice and make optimal use of HANA NSE.
Benefits
Reduce your HANA Hot Memory Footprint and save on TCO
As HANA BI databases keep growing, on-premise hot memory storage and license costs keep rising. Also when moving a HANA BI system to the cloud, optimising storage beforehand will drive cloud storage and capacity unit charges down.
Get technical and functional insights needed to perform HANA Data Tiering
HANA Data Tiering is the answer: only keep recent and currently used data in hot and move older and less used data to cheaper warm or cold storage layers. How to decide what data from which tables can be moved? You'll need technical and functional insights and close collaboration with Business & IT.
Engage with experts to define your long term Data Tiering strategy
With the insights delivered with our hot memory profiling tool, our expert team engages with your technical and functional team to define the optimal data tiering strategy and a detailed 3-step execution (Identify, Gain, Sustain)
Optimize your partitioning and use correct pruning in tune with NSE
We execute the Data Tiering together, reviewing your partitioning, your modeling (DSO) and even ETL and optimise pruning accordingly, so that NSE does work correctly. With good housekeeping rules for future development and new projects you ensure a continued best practice going forward.
Best preparation to move to cloud: lower storage cost+less capacity unit charges
Planning to move your HANA BI system to the cloud, the above best practice will keep storage costs and capacity unit charges at the minimum. Before considering to replace HANA BI for a "cheaper" platform choice, you first want to understand all options your HANA data platform offers you.
