A database – To store and retrieve data as requested by applications

More than a database - A platform which combines database, data processing


4

and application perform capabilities in-memory

Introduction to SAP HANA
What is In-memory?
In SAP HANA, data is stored and processed in-memory i.e., RAM and no longer
1

on a hard drive.
Introduction to SAP HANA
Column-oriented or Columnar Data Organization
It supports both column-based and row-based database tables
1

Row-based – Write Operations & Column-based – Read Operations


2

High performance - when column-store tables are used in-memory


3

The Columnar table layout reduces the total number of memory accesses by
4

accessing only the relevant columns as opposed to row table layout

Techniques – Data Dictionary Encoding, Data Compression etc.

Introduction to SAP HANA
Real-time Data processes/analysis
Data is stored in-memory/RAM, it can be accessed real-time
1

In-memory database technology allows the processing of massive amounts of


2

real-time data in a short time.

Real-time analysis and reporting are possible in embedded SAP BW powered by

SAP HANA
Introduction to SAP HANA
OLTP and OLAP
OLTP refers Online Transaction Processing
1

OLAP refers Online Analytical Processing


2

In the traditional database, OLTP was separated from OLAP


3

SAP HANA database supports both OLTP and OLAP processing


4

The same table in SAP HANA runs both transactional and analytical applications,
5

so the data is available in real-time at every level of detail


Introduction to SAP HANA
Simplification & Compatibility Views
SAP HANA database simplifies the data model, means that it consists only of
1

the essential tables which record business data and has expired index tables

and aggregate tables

No data redundancy, increase of transaction throughput and aggregations on


2

the fly

Spirit of Simplification - Compatibility views


3
Introduction to SAP HANA
Single Source Of Truth
Data is stored once in the database table as compared to the traditional database
1

where the data was repeated in different tables

Any derived data can be calculated on the fly instead of being physically stored
2

in the database

It reduces the database size and there is no duplication of data


3
Introduction to SAP HANA
Removal of Redundancy
Redundancy occurs when the data is repeated in different tables
1

SAP HANA database removes redundancy by expiring index tables and aggregate
2

tables and has introduced Compatibility views which do not need physical data

in the expired tables

Reduction of database footprint, increase of transaction throughput and


3

aggregations on the fly


Introduction to SAP HANA
Multi-tenant
Multi-tenant refers one instance of an application on a single HANA system shared
1

by multiple customers/tenants but each tenant’s data is isolated and remains

invisible to other tenants

A single HANA system can be set up into multiple databases


2

The example can be SAP HANA Public cloud


3
Introduction to SAP HANA
Multi-servers
SAP HANA contains multiple server such as Index Server, Name Server,
1

Pre-processor Server, Statistics Server and XS Server


Introduction to SAP HANA
Digital Core
SAP HANA supports Digital Core, means that SAP HANA in-memory database
1

allows organizations to transform into digital business

Applications can be accessed running on SAP HANA through cloud, mobile phone,
2

tabs, iPad etc.

Includes next-generation technologies - Adv. analytics, IOT, Al & Machine learning


3

that cannot be run on legacy IT infrastructure and traditional databases
