SAP HANA is fully adaptable to advances in hardware technology allowing for greater scalability through multi-core CPUs and 64-bit systems. SAP HANA combines OLAP and OLTP data into a single database, providing a unified view for transactional, analytical, and planning applications to run together in real-time. Only SAP HANA takes full advantage of new hardware by combining columnar data storage, massively parallel processing, and in-memory computing through optimized software design.
