SAP HANA, emphasized on multi-model data analysis along with an in-memory database, is a creation by SAP. Acting as a base for enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions and various business software, it stands out for its speed and potency, offering real-time computing solutions for the corporate sector. IQST in Bangalore offers advanced SAP HANA online training with industry experts delivering sessions and classes in real-time.
In-memory computing
In-memory computing is about storing vast data volumes directly in a server’s primary memory. SAP HANA amalgamates information from diverse segments of an organization, including:
• Business records like agreements and excel sheets
• UX/UI (User Experience/User Interface) – inclusive of website forms, emails, and additional client engagements
• Mobile – data sourced from customer and employee mobile gadgets
• IoT (Internet of Things) – data generated by numerous sensors across all business dimensions, from warehouses and vehicles to retail outlets and corporate buildings.
The SAP HANA database, based on SQL, serves both traditional transactional applications (OLTP) and analytical queries (OLAP).
SAP HANA as a Development Platform
With SAP HANA’s extended application services in the advanced model (SAP HANA XSA), a comprehensive development environment is offered for coding in Java and Node.js.
The SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA, a browser-based development environment, is tailored for crafting web and mobile user interfaces, business logic, and sophisticated data models.
The SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer, Edition for SAP HANA, enables the sharing of various artifacts with organizational users.
