Introduction
SAP HANA with its in-memory database, data processing, and
application platform capabilities is the only complete innovation
platform that simplifies enterprise IT in various dimensions:
• A simpler data footprint that brings transactions and analytics
together into a single in-memory platform, combined with
smart data compression and data management capabilities
• Simpler processing and operations that enable high levels of
automation and real-time decision making with no data
preparation, data movement, or integration
• A simpler landscape that integrates data types, even for
unstructured and spatial data, data operations, and application
processing in one platform and avoids different specialty
servers
• Simpler setup with a choice of pre-configured on-premise or
cloud deployments, tailored data center integration and
integration for hybrid deployments
• Simpler application development with a concise data model,
embedded libraries of analytical functions that dramatically
reduce the code base and an embedded application server
• A simpler user experience that provides comprehensive,
personalized real-time information anytime and on any device
Discover how SAP customers simplified their technology stack
by dramatically reducing multiple layers of hardware and
software complexity. At the same time, user experience became
simpler and TCO has been reduced while performance of
business processes has accelerated dramatically.
