Ĭolumn-oriented systems store all data for a single column in the same location, rather than storing all data for a single row in the same location (row-oriented systems). Observing data access patterns, up to 85% of data in an enterprise system may be infrequently accessed therefore it can be cost-effective to store frequently accessed, or "hot", data in-memory while the less frequently accessed "warm" data is stored on disk, an approach SAP have termed "Dynamic tiering". While storing data in-memory confers performance advantages, it is a more costly form of data storage. Storing data in main memory rather than on disk provides faster data access and, by extension, faster querying and processing. The key distinctions between HANA and previous generation SAP systems are that it is a column-oriented, in-memory database, that combines OLAP and OLTP operations into a single system thus in general SAP HANA is an OLTAP system.
#WHAT IS SAP HANA STUDIO UPGRADE#
Customers running SPS9 and below must first upgrade to SPS12 before upgrading to HANA 2 SPS01. HANA customers can upgrade to HANA 2 from SPS10 and above. In November 2016 SAP announced SAP HANA 2, which offers enhancements to multiple areas such as database management and application management and includes two new cloud services: Text Analysis and Earth Observation Analysis. Support Package Stacks are released every 6 months.
#WHAT IS SAP HANA STUDIO SOFTWARE#
Rather than versioning, the software utilizes service packs, referred to as Support Package Stacks (SPS), for updates. Since S/4HANA requires an SAP HANA system to run, customers running SAP business suite applications on hardware not certified by SAP would need to migrate to a SAP-certified HANA database should they choose the features offered by S/4HANA. While it is likely that SAP will focus its innovations on S/4HANA, some customers using non-HANA systems have raised concerns of being locked into SAP products. S/4HANA is intended to be a simplified business suite, replacing earlier generation ERP systems. S/4HANA, released in 2015, written specifically for the HANA platform, combines functionality for ERP, CRM, SRM and others into a single HANA system. In May 2013, Business Suite on HANA became available, enabling customers to run SAP Enterprise Resource Planning functions on the HANA platform. In May 2013, a managed private cloud offering called the HANA Enterprise Cloud service was announced. In October 2012, SAP announced a platform as a service offering called the SAP HANA Cloud Platform and a variant called SAP HANA One that used a smaller amount of memory. In 2012, SAP promoted aspects of cloud computing. HANA support for SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse was announced in September 2011 for availability by November.
īy mid-2011, the technology had attracted interest but more experienced business customers considered it to be "in early days". The first product shipped in late November 2010. The research engine is later released open source in 2013, and was reengineered in 2016 to become HYRISE2 in 2017. Ī first research paper on HYRISE was published in November 2010.
The software was previously called "SAP High-Performance Analytic Appliance". Before the name "HANA" stabilized, people referred to this product as "New Database". Former SAP SE executive, Vishal Sikka, mentioned this architecture as "Hasso's New Architecture". The first major demonstration of the platform was in 2008: teams from SAP SE, the Hasso Plattner Institute and Stanford University demonstrated an application architecture for real-time analytics and aggregation called HYRISE. These included TREX search engine ( in-memory column-oriented search engine), P*TIME (in-memory online transaction processing (OLTP) Platform acquired by SAP in 2005), and MaxDB with its in-memory liveCache engine. During the early development of SAP HANA, a number of technologies were developed or acquired by SAP SE.
