The material was created around 2010-end, but published February'2011.
The main purposes of creating this document were as follows:
- very very few people working on SAP HANA at that time
- information regarding SAP HANA not really available and if available, it was scattered !!
- always pulled for presentations and technical demos which generally hampered my own hands-on work :). And I was alone at San Jose whereas Ulrich used to busy in Walldorf coordinating with SAP.
BTW, it was my full-fledged first SAP HANA presentation in end of 2010, although published in 2011. The document is quite old now but most of the part still holds good as of today.
Most of you know that SLES was the only supported OS for SAP HANA few years back. But for quite sometime, Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA 6.5 is certified minimum version available for productive usage, which is based on Intel IvyBridgeEX (Xeon E7 v2) CPU architecture.
I was working with SLES since Nov'2009 and installed SAP HANA 1.0 built 5 for the first time. Due to other commitments, I was not looked into RHEL part till Dec'2014. Remotely, from Bangalore, I was working hands-on with RHEL colleagues on their Lab through their OPEN program and that's why collected some basic knowledge on this.
SAP HANA 1.0 SPS08 is the minimum version of SAP HANA certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP HANA is required for SAP HANA installation.
In April'2015, I have successfully completed SAP HANA Installation on RHEL platform. Then using my guide, Banaglore team was successfully installed SAP HANA 1.0 SPS 09 on RHEL in VM environment. We also done successful upgrade of HANA Rev. after the basic installation.
I have created the SAP HANA on RHEL Installation guide. This document discussed about the step-by-step process for preparation of RHEL OS and then SAP HANA Installation on it. It can help for TDI specific activities. One can use the same and provide feedback. The guide is here attached with.

configuration tasks required to operate and administer the SAP HANA.
Definition - What does SAP HANA mean?
SAP HANA is an application that uses in-memory database technology that allows the processing of massive amounts of real-time data in a short time. The in-memory computing engine allows HANA to process data stored in RAM as opposed to reading it from a disk. This allows the application to provide instantaneous results from customer transactions and data analyses.
HANA stands for high-performance analytic appliance.
SUMTWO explains SAP HANA
SAP HANA is designed to process structured data from relational databases, both SAP and non-SAP, and applications and other systems rapidly. It is capable of using three styles of data replication depending on the source of the data - log-based, ETL-based and trigger-based. The relocated structured data is stored directly in memory. Because of this, data can be accessed quickly in real time by the applications that use HANA.
SAP HANA supports various use cases for real-time analytics. Some examples include:
•Monitoring and optimization of telecommunications network
•Supply chain and retail optimization
•Fraud detection and security
•Forecasting and profitability reporting
•Energy use optimization and monitoring
The heart of SAP HANA Enterprise 1.0 is the SAP In-Memory Database 1.0, a massively parallel processing data store that melds row-based, column-based, and object-based storage techniques. Other components of SAP HANA Enterprise 1.0 include:
• SAP In-Memory Computing Studio,
• SAP Host Agent 7.2,
• SAPCAR 7.10,
• Sybase Replication Server 15,
• SAP HANA Load Controller 1.00, and,
• SAP Landscape Transformation 1 - SHC for ABA.
SAP HANA converges database and application platform capabilities in-memory to transform transactions, analytics, text analysis, predictive and spatial processing so businesses can operate in real-time. Here is a short overview of some possible use architecture types for SAP HANA as a platform, dedicated to SAP solutions.

A SAP High-Performance Analytic Appliance (HANA) is a data warehouse appliance for processing high volumes of operational and transactional data in real-time. HANA uses in-memory analytics,
an approach that queries data stored in random access memory (RAM) instead of on hard disk or flash storage.
A HANA appliance uses an SAP Sybase replication server to copy and synchronize data from an SAP data warehouse or enterprise resource planning (ERP) application in real-time.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
