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.

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.
