Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA

We have been using SAP HANA Cloud as a real-time database for our weather stations located across the country. With its hybrid database architecture, our application can read and write data at an unmatched speed. It also gives us in-memory compression technology saving up to 10 times in storage space. The collected data can be used for modeling and analyzing within the SAP HANA Cloud. It provides an integrated data lake for storing and retrieving large sets of data. SAP HANA Cloud is a fast, future-ready, easy, and economical cloud database, best suited for delivering enterprise-level applications.
