What is SAP HANA?

SAP HANA is an in-memory database that enables real-time big data analytics.

This allows companies to make quick, data-driven decisions and take action. SAP HANA forms the foundation of SAP’s Business Technology Platform and the SAP S/4HANA ERP suite. This allows users to perform high-speed analyses and transactions simultaneously within a single system. In addition to functioning as a database server, SAP HANA offers advanced search, analysis, and data integration capabilities and serves as an application server for developing intelligent, analytics-driven applications.
