SAP HANA database

SAP HANA, with its in-memory, column-oriented architecture, offers significant speed and efficiency improvements over traditional disk-based databases. Unlike conventional databases that handle OLTP and OLAP separately, HANA processes both in real-time. It supports advanced analytics, including predictive and text analytics, directly within the database. Previous solutions relied on separate systems for transactional and analytical processing, causing latency and inefficiencies. HANA’s integration capabilities and multi-model support further distinguish it from earlier database technologies.
