2. Introduction
SAP HANA, short for “High-Performance Analytic Appliance” is an in-memory, column-oriented, relational database management system developed by SAP.
Data now resides in main-memory (RAM) and no longer on a hard disk.
It is a combination of hardware and software made to process massive real time data using In- Memory computing.

3. Introduction It combines row-based, column-based database technology.
It’s best suited for performing real-time analytics on massive data, and developing & deploying real-time applications.

4. IN MEMORY
An in-memory database means all the data is stored in the memory (RAM). No time wasted in loading the data from hard-disk to RAM or storing the data in hard-disk.
Everything is stored inside memory for all the time, which gives quick access ability to the CPUs while processing data.
The speed advantages offered by this RAM storage system are further accelerated by the use of multi-core CPUs, and multiple CPUs per board, and multiple boards per server appliance.

5. Hardware and Software Combination

6. Performing real-time analytics on massive data
SAP HANA is equipped with Multiengine Query Processing Environment which supports relational as well as graphical and text data within the same system.
Operating System Supported By SAP HANA: Earlier SUSE Linux Enterprise Server x86-64 (SLES) 11 SP1 was the only Operating system supported by SAP HANA.
From SPS08, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is also supported. SAP HANA is developed in C++ language.

7. Why SAP HANA is FAST?
All data is in RAM. What happens when power goes down?
SAP HANA is an in-memory database which means all the data resides in RAM. But there is also a disc memory just for backup purpose.
In-memory computing is safe: The SAP HANA database holds the bulk of its data in memory for maximum performance, but still uses persistent storage to provide a fallback in case of failure
After a power failure, the database can be restarted like any disk-based database and returns to its last consistent state by replaying the log since the last save point.

8. Need for SAP HANA IT Challenges: Challenges for Business:
“Big Data” (volume) growing and challenge for real-time access to Operational Enterprise Systems
Inadequate access to real-time operational information
Need to react faster to events impacting business
Costly for IT to purchase and maintain hardware to handle increasing data volumes
Need to quickly uncover trends and patterns by functional users – empower users/organizations
IT not the hero – dissatisfied business users
Need to improve business processes
Processing and analysis results delayed
Data not in real time

10. SAP HANA Hardware Partners
SAP HANA is a combination of hardware and software made to process massive real time data using In-Memory computing. To leverage the full power of the SAP HANA platform, you need the right hardware infrastructure.
The SAP HANA can only be installed and configured by certified hardware partners.

11. SAP HANA Landscape
With the help of technology like SLT replication, data can be moved to HANA in real time.
It is also possible to copy data from SAP BW or other database into SAP HANA.
In HANA, we can use modeling tool called HANA Studio to build the logic and structures and use tools.

16. The Prerequisite to learn SAP HANA
Database Concepts and basic knowledge of SQL are desirable.
ABAP may help in understanding the Business logic implementation. It is an advantage, but not mandatory.
Knowing BW helps you in understanding Modeling concepts.
BW knowledge is a must if you are going to work on BW on HANA.
BO or Business Objects is the Front end Reporting tool. If you have knowledge of BO then reporting on HANA would be a piece of cake for you.
