Title: SAP HANA and its Extreme Applications
SAP HANA is an in-memory data platform that is deployable as an
appliance, or in the cloud. At its core is an innovative in-memory
relational database management system which makes full use of the
capabilities of current hardware (RAM and multi-core CPUs) to increase
application performance, to reduce cost of ownership and to enable new
scenarios and applications that were not possible before. This speed-up
processing capability from HANA could help existing applications to
achieve the goals that would be considered impossible in the past , and
also help to re-design and improve current business process flow in
enterprise; especially on top of big data. In this talk, I describe the
architectural design of SAP HANA and its solutions for big data. Finally,
I will present some “extreme applications” on HANA, which are designed
to deal extremely large data set or extremely complex problems (i.e.
search space).
