Innovation and fusion with HW and SW Advantage of HANA

All data is in main memory to avoid bottle neck. Thus HANA run extremely fast.

Load data fast by Partitioning and parallel query.

Fast response due to the efficiency of analysis by data compression and column store.

Table Join is no longer needed thus we can reduce development efforts.

Automated DB replication realize reduction development and maintenance effort.

▌Balanced CPU-IO configuration
