SAP Solution: OLTP

The data from the ERP system is crucial for companies that want to improve their efficiency and optimize their operations. However, in a digital world, it is not enough to get the data at some point.

With Hana, SAP has a real success model on offer for processing and analyzing large volumes of data. The open source community also has a powerful technology in the form of the Hadoop ecosystem. Classic competitive situation? No, a real dream team - when the advantages of both platforms are combined.

Big Data has now become the subject of public discussion. Recently, a panel discussion held by the Association of Bavarian Business (VBW) in Bad Neustadt was devoted to the question of how big data can be refined and what opportunities arise from it. The panel included representatives from universities (TU Munich, University of Passau), industry (Siemens) and IT (FIS-ASP).

In order to make the use of Hana worthwhile, it is evident that a constantly high performance is provided. Those who rely on Suse receive performance-enhancing features free of charge.

Since the moment SAP tried to position the Hana database in the IT market, the term "data mining" has taken on a new meaning - Walldorf has a mission: fast data solution seeks complex data problem.

For the first time, Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC) becomes available on Oracle Exadata for SAP. The article covers the use of Oracle's own hardware as an SAP database engine with a focus on HCC, a compression technology that is only available in conjunction with Exadata.

Why use SAP BW when Hana makes everything easier and faster? Actually, it should be: Why use your own system as a central data repository when an existing operational system would also do the job?

The in-memory option for Oracle Database 12c has been certified with SAP NetWeaver applications since June 30, 2015. This makes Oracle's in-memory technology an attractive alternative to Hana in SAP environments.

With Hana, SAP has been developing a new technical basis for its applications for several years. The motivation for this may be that a technological paradigm shift is imminent with non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).
