Introduction to SAP HANA

In-Memory Computing
Technology that allows the processing of
massive quantities of real time data
in the main memory of the server
to provide immediate results from
analyses and transactions

Increasing Data
Volumes
Calculation Speed
Type and # of
Data Sources
Lack of business transparency
Sales & Operations Planning based on
subsets of highly aggregated information,
being several days or weeks outdated.
Reactive business model
Missed opportunities and
competitive disadvantage due to
lack of speed and agility
 Utilities: daily- or hour-based
billing and consumption
analysis/simulation.
In-Memory Computing
Technology Constrained Business Outcome
Sub-optimal execution speed
Lack of responsiveness due to data
latency and deployment bottlenecks
 Inability to update demand plan with
greater than monthly frequency

Improve Business Performance
 IT rapidly delivering flexible solutions
enabling business
 Speed up billing and reconciliation cycles
for complex goods manufacturers
 Planning and simulation on the fly based
on actual non-aggregated data
Competitive Advantage
E.g. Utilities Industry:
 Sales growth and market advantage
from demand/cost driven pricing that
optimizes multiple variables –
consumption data, hourly energy
price, weather forecast, etc.
In-Memory Computing
Leapfrogging Current Technology Constraints
Flexible Real Time Analytics
 Real-time customer profitability
 Effective marketing campaign spend
based on large-volume data analysis
Future State

In-Memory Computing – The Time is NOW

The elements of In-Memory computing are not new. However, dramatically improved hardware economics and technology
innovations in software has now made it possible for SAP to deliver on its vision of the Real-Time Enterprise with In-Memory business
HW Technology Innovations
Multi-Core Architecture (8 x 8core CPU
per blade)
Massive parallel scaling with many
blades
64bit address space – 2TB in current
servers
100GB/s data throughput
Dramatic decline in
price/performance
Row and Column Store
Compression

on large volumes of non-aggregated data.
 Create flexible analytic models based on real-time and
historic business data
 Foundation for new category of applications (e.g., planning,
simulation) to significantly outperform current applications
in category
 Minimizes data duplication

SAP HANA Road Map:
In-Memory Introduction
Today‘s System Landscape
 ERP System running on traditional database
 BW running on traditional database
 Data extracted from ERP and loaded into BW
 BWA accelerates analytic models
 Analytic data consumed in BI or pulled to data marts
Step 1 – In-Memory in parallel
(Q4 2010)
 Operational data in traditional database is replicated into
memory for operational reporting
 Analytic models from production EDW can be brought into
memory for agile modeling and reporting
 Third party data (POS, CDR etc) can be brought into memory
for agile modeling and reporting

SAP HANA Road Map:
Renovation of DW and Innovation of Applications
Step 2 – Primary Data Store for BW
(Planned for Q3 2011)
 In-Memory Computing used as primary persistence for BW
 BW manages the analytic metadata and the EDW data
provisioning processes
 Detailed operational data replicated from applications is the
basis for all processes
 SAP HANA 1.5 will be able to provide the functionality of
BWA
Step 3 – New Applications
(Planned for Q3 2011)
 New applications extend the core business suite with
new capabilities
 New applications delegate data intense operations
entirely to the in-memory computing
 Operational data from new applications is immediately
accessible for analytics – real real time

SAP HANA Road Map:
Transformation of application platforms
Step 4 – Real Time Data Feed
(2012/2013)
Applications write data simultaneously to traditional databases
as well as the in-memory computing
Step 5 – Platform Consolidation
 All applications (ERP and BW) run on data residing in-memory
 Analytics and operations work on data in real time
 In-memory computing executes all transactions,
transformations, and complex data processing

Real Time Enterprise: Value Proposition
Addressing Key Business Drivers
1. Real-Time Decision Making
• Fast and easy creation of ad-hoc views on business
• Access to real time analysis
2. Accelerate Business Performance
• Increase speed of transactional information flow in areas
such as planning, forecasting, pricing, offers…
3. Unlock New Insights
• Remove constraints for analyzing large data volumes -
trends, data mining, predictive analytics etc.
• Structured and unstructured data
4. Improve Business Productivity
• Business designed and owned analytical models
• Business self-service  reduce reliance on IT
• Use data from anywhere
5. Improve IT efficiency
• Manage growing data volume and complexity efficiently
• Lower landscape costs
There is a significant interest from business to get agile
analytic solutions.
„In a down economy, companies focus on cash protection.
The decision on what needs to be done to make
procurement more efficient is being made in the
procurement department“.
CEO of a multinational transportation company
Flexibility to analyse business missed by LoB.
„First performance, and the other is flexibility on a
business analyst level, who need to do deep diving to
better understand and conclude. The second would be
that also front-end tools are not providing flexibility“.
Executive of a global retail company
Traditional data warehouse processes are too complex
and consume too much time for business departments.
„ The companies […] were frustrated with usual
problems […] difficulty to build new information views.
These companies were willing to move data […] into
another proprietary file format […]. “
