About SAP Hana

In-memory technology is the foundation of SAP Hana, a big data system that keeps working data in memory so it can be processed far faster than on disk-based storage. Alongside that sit an analytics database and event processing, all within one system.

Three parts of one system

The in-memory technology holds working data for rapid handling. The analytics database holds the data and lets users examine it. Incoming streams of events are handled by the event processing part as they arrive. Together they let an organization analyze data and respond to events in the same system instead of passing information between tools.

SAP as the vendor

SAP describes itself as a provider of enterprise application software with customers, partners and employees around the world. Its Americas business operates from more than 70 locations. SAP Hana belongs to its wider range of business applications and technology.
