4. SAP HANA: Benefits
● Access to critical data on the fly in order to accelerate
decision making and gain insights into key trends
● Instantly explore, augment, and analyze all data in near
real time to make better decisions faster
● SAP HANA “Appliance” lets business users instantly
access, model, and analyze huge amount of data from
virtually any source, in a single environment, without
impacting existing applications or systems, by using
SAP’s In-Memory Technology, Columnar Database
Design, Data compression, and Massive Parallel
Processing
○
However, Maneat experiences have shown that amount of benefit /
effort size may greatly vary, depending on specific customer
environment / application/ and degree of ABAP customization

9. SAP HANA Appliance
● The SAP HANA appliance consists of the SAP HANA database and
adds components needed to work with, administer, and operate the
database.
● It contains the installation files for the SAP HANA Studio, which is
an Eclipse-based administration and data-modeling tool for SAP
HANA
● A set of libraries required for applications to be able to connect to
the SAP HANA database.
● The Software Update Manager (SUM) for SAP HANA is the
framework allowing the automatic download and installation of
SAP HANA updates from SAP Marketplace and other sources using
a host agent. It also allows distribution of the Studio repository to
the users.
● The Lifecycle Management (LM) Structure for HANA is a
description of the current installation and is, for example, used by
SUM to perform automatic updates.
