About SAP HANA
SAP HANA (High-performance ANalytic Appliance) is an on-premise or cloud-based in-memory storage application deployable as an on-premise appliance. It is a ground-breaking framework that is ideally suited for real-time analytics performance and real-time application creation and deployment. The SAP HANA database, which is radically different from any other database engine on the market today, is at the heart of this real-time data platform.
Why Choose SAP HANA?
SAP HANA products are well-suited if businesses have to go deep inside their data sets to ask complicated and interactive questions and have to go large at the same time (which means dealing with massive data sets that are of different types and from different sources).
There is a growing need for this knowledge to be current and ideally, in real-time. Add to that the need for great speed (very fast response time and real interactivity) and the need to do all this without any prefabricated elements (no preparation of data, no pre-aggregates, no-tuning) and you have a specific mix of requirements that can be effectively handled by just SAP HANA partners. SAP HANA is in its elements when this set of needs or any subset thereof has to be resolved (in any combination).

Key Benefits of SAP HANA Platform
High Speed
SAP HANA offers developers the chance to create highly scalable, impactful applications that leverage the SAP HANA platform’s massive speed.
Massive Scale
It scales from small servers to large clusters using both scale-up and scale-out approaches. Scale-up involves increasing the RAM on one physical computer, while scale-out involves merging multiple computers into one system, Surpassing server limitations.
Business in Real-Time
To simplify IT landscapes, removing data processing, pre-aggregation, and tuning, SAP HANA removes conventional database barriers. Massive volumes of structured and unstructured data, including text data, can be accessed instantly from various sources.
Absolute Efficiency
A simulation of efficient customer data with a 100 million-line financial accounting data collection was run by a SAP technology development team. Outcome? The overall data footprint was reduced by a factor of 37.
Reduced cost
As customers move to SAP Business Warehouse in year one and SAP ERP in year two, and then start using the SAP HANA platform for custom application development in year three, Forrester estimated 37 percent cost savings over four years.

Migration from SAP HANA on-premise to the SAP HANA cloud
As organizations increasingly move their IT infrastructure to the cloud, many are also considering moving their SAP HANA systems to the cloud. The benefits of migrating from SAP HANA on-premise to the cloud include:
Scalability: The cloud offers scalability and flexibility, allowing organizations to easily scale up or down their resources as needed.
Cost savings: By moving to the cloud, organizations can often reduce their infrastructure and maintenance costs.
Improved accessibility: The cloud allows for greater accessibility and collaboration, as employees can access the SAP HANA system from anywhere with an internet connection.
