NEW APPLICATIONS OF SAP HANA AND THE IN – MEMORY PRODUCTS COMING UP


Though high speed data analysis is not new , what SAP HANA comes out with is the combination of both hardware and software which is the coming up of in - memory technology; which has the capacity to evaluate the complete database of the working memory . Earlier it was the possible to store data in the working memory which could be utilized immediately , but now with the in – memory technology that usage has gone a step forward .

The various areas where SAP HANA could be used are as follows :

Firstly it can be used whenever the products being used are in the in – memory format
Conventionally , the database in our systems is stored in the hard discs . But with the in – memory technology coming up , the softwares now use the working memory due to the very high speed access which helps in the faster analysis and the data stored here is in the form of columns . SAP HANA helps in the running of SAP netweaver business warehouse version 7.3 .

It is the principle applied for analyzing programs , including accounting intelligence. Accounting intelligence is a function of SAP CRM which helps in the complete analysis . SAP HANA powered applications include SAP Accelerated Trade Promotion Planning and SAP Demand Signal Management . SAP demand signal management , helps the marketing and sales employees to analyze very large quantities of data which can range up to terabytes , the source of which can be either internal or external .


It can be used as an accelerator
SAP HANA has the capacity to increase the performance of SAP ERP and SAP CRM , as an accelerator , wherein it works like the second database to replicate data . There is SAP COPE accelerator which has the capacity to copy the data from SAP ERP to SAP HANA in real time , leading to production of the analyses results in seconds . This is made available to the SAP users and they need not load the SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse initially .

It can be used in the generation of content
Of late the applications of SAP HANA have been for producing real time analysis reports , which are based on SAP ERP rapid deployment solution for operational reporting , SAP rapid-deployment solution for customer , SAP Bank Analyzer rapid-deployment solution for financial reporting , and SAP ERP rapid-deployment solution for profitability analysis.

It is a technology platform
a very good example for the applications of HANA in the customer specific software development is that SAP HANA had analyzed the whole of Japan’s traffic for the NOMURA RESEARCH INSTITUTE in a second , which involved data up to 360 million records . It was brought about as the data was in the in – memory database and the research institute used its own model for the analyses on top .

It forms the basis for new applications too
There are native in – memory applications based on SAP HANA like the SAP Business Objects Strategic Workforce Planning (which allows you to analyze workforce data , device task lists , calculating of the personal costs and helps in planning of the workforce ; giving an insight of the organizations and routings) , SAP Dynamic Cash Management ( which provides an overview to the costs ,forecasting and management of cash flows , and a real time overview of costs and records from the customer view,the supplier view and also the manufacturing process view ) , and SAP Smart Meter Analytics .
