What is SAP HANA Cloud?

SAP HANA is an application that uses in-memory database technology to process very large amounts of real-time data from relational databases, both SAP and non-SAP, in a very short time. The in-memory computing engine allows HANA to process data stored in RAM as opposed to reading it from a disk which means that the data can be accessed in real time by the applications using HANA. The product is sold both as an appliance and as a cloud-based software solution.

SAP HANA Cloud Review

Mani Pandi
CEO in Corporate at Maitsys (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Companies that want to go with a clean implementation. So we started using it because one of our customers is interested in SAP HANA Cloud. That was the main reason.

Pros

  • SAP HANA Cloud is good. The customer doesn't need to worry about managing the infrastructure, basic support, or any type of IT-related work. The user has to come in and use the product. Don't worry about managing it. That's the beauty of it. It also provides everything a customer needs. So if a customer wants to customize, change some things outside the SAP HANA Cloud process, it is difficult to do. Customers can go into a challenging area in that space.

Return on Investment

  • Any customer who is implementing SAP HANA Cloud will definitely benefit from it. So I have seen customers using it, and they're pretty happy with their selections.
