 What is SAP HANA?  SAP HANA and Cisco  Business Intelligence Solu-ons Currently Available based on SAP HANA

 Why Choose SAP HANA




  SAP HANA is a true next genera-on in-‐memory database. It is a fusion of both soZware and hardware that is fully engineered to manage billions of rows of data. However, SAP HANA is more than just a database, its is a pla\orm designed for mul-ple business func-ons and solu-ons.

  Data on SAP HANA is stored and accessed in RAM which eliminates the tradi-onal limita-ons of spinning magne-c disks.

  Data is stored physically close to the CPU allowing faster and more direct access to the data.

  The HANA soZware is the first of it’s kind to be built from the ground up to support mul--‐core CPU’s and in-‐memory direct access to data. Memory First, Persistent Storage Second.

  Data can be stored using either Row or Column based storage providing flexibility in suppor-ng both Front End Applica-ons and Business Intelligence on a single pla\orm.

  SAP HANA has built in Mul- Dimensional Modeling Views that can mimic the capabili-es of OLAP without the need to duplicate data into Cubes. This reduces the TCO of storing the data while providing the flexibility to perform both MDAS or Opera-onal repor-ng.


  Direct integra-on with the industry standard sta-s-c language R

  Direct integra-on with Predic-ve Analy-c Libraries (PAL) and Business Func-on Libraries (BFL)

  Built-‐in Web Applica-on Server (XS Engine) to provide direct access to the underlying data, removing the need to marshal data to an external applica-on server.



  Unified Fabric reduce cabling by ½

  Scale HANA across mul-ple chassis without increasing IO latency

  Stateless Compu-ng make Servers freely interchangeable hardware components

  Service profiles enable “bare metal” move of appliance between datacenter

  HANA specific monitoring soZware as part of the Cisco intelligent automa-on
