    Why SAP HANA?

    Reason 1. Simplify Enterprise Systems

    Sapphire Orlando 2010

    A Vision is born

    A vision

    2010 Hasso presented at Sapphire Orlando a new a

    bold Vision. OLAP and OLTP can run on the same in-

    memory database and create the next generation

    business platform.

    The vision included a three phase roadmap with its last

    phase being Suite on HANA.

    A Promise delivered

    In a short three years the Vision has become a reality.

    After delivering HANA in Nov 2010, BW and B1 on

    HANA in 2012, we now announced the 3rd phase of our

    journey on Jan 10th .

    Why SAP HANA?

    Reason 4: Enterprise information architecture is lagging

    disk-centric computing is causing

    major bottleneck

    dictating complex development

    paradigms

    imposing in-efficient deployment

    architectures

    forcing in-effective user experience

    corresponding version of

    SAP NetWeaver

    2. Update to latest

    Enhancement Package

    version for HANA and

    corresponding version of

    SAP NetWeaver

    3. Export from any

    Database and

    import to SAP HANA

  • 2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 22

    Landscape considerations Standard 3-system landscapes

    Optimizations for SAP HANA require all relevant systems to run on SAP HANA

    (i.e. Development, Quality Assurance and Production)

    To implement a SAP HANA-based ABAP correction, a SAP HANA-based correction system is required

    To test a SAP HANA-based ABAP correction, a SAP HANA-based test system is required

    SAP HANA-based systems interact with non-SAP HANA-based systems as expected

    Non-ABAP systems do not support HANA-deployment, but need an update to newest EHP of running applications (i.e. EHP6 of ERP, EHP2 of SCM/CRM)

    Dual-stack/unicode

    Dual-Stack Systems

    SAP Business Suite, powered by SAP HANA is based on SAP NetWeaver 7.40, not supporting dual-stack installations

    Dual-stack systems have to be split before a SAP HANA migration

    Java stack stays on current database, since Java is not yet supported to run on SAP HANA

    Unicode

    SAP HANA runs natively on Unicode only

    Unicode conversion can technically be done during the database migration, but preparatory steps are required

  • 2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 25

    Minimizing downtime How to realize small downtime windows

    Near-zero downtime approach: use additional shadow database to keep DB downtime to a minimum (available on request, see SAP Note 1680769)

    Several parallel processes for data export and data import, table split for parallelized export of large tables

    Combined Unicode conversion and database migration

    Reduce downtime for system copy (e.g. relevant for Unicode conversion): Find more details on system copy and migration: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-14257

    Key Customer Questions

    Why is this relevant to me? What are the mission critical business

    scenarios that can be optimized?

    What is the value to the

    business? What will be the business value I will

    gain?

    How do I get started? How can I implement the

    recommendations in a quick, less

    disruptive and predictable manner

    considering all influential factors

    (Technical Readiness, System

    complexity, migration-path, unicode,

    etc..)? Implications in Hardware?

    Finance Fast Financial Close

    Overview What is the value? How to implement?

    Business Context

    A financial close defines the financial results of a group as required for presentation to

    external and internal stakeholders by valuating business activities from an accounting

    perspective. It closes the books for all individual companies. A corporate close for the group

    and subgroups and financial disclosures combine quantitative data with comprehensive

    qualitative information. A fast financial close is a core element of financial excellence.

    Challenges

    Important characteristics of the financial close include the high number of systems and people involved that require many hand-overs and reconciliations. Lack of transparency,

    governance, compliance (with international standards and local GAAP), and speed delay

    the cycle, with limited options for reruns to correct errors or deepen analysis. Inefficient

    closing cycles have little automation and many errors and consume significant resources.

    Finance Fast Financial Close

    Overview What is the value? How to implement?

    Real-time, fast financial close offers a single multidimensional

    database and shared functionality for accounting and

    consolidation, providing governance, compliance, and

    transparency throughout financial close management. With

    deeper and faster insight down to the lowest level of detail, it

    delivers quality at the source, process efficiencies, a common

    view across financials (invoices) and logistics (goods receipts),

    and faster reconciliation. Drill-through for simulation of

    organizational changes is available.

    Business Drivers

    Value SAP HANA Innovation

    SAP HANA offers a single repository for company and corporate data

    less reconciliation and fewer copy processes and real-time

    accounting and consolidation in one platform. It accelerates

    reconciliation through real-time, automatic matching of long-running

    batch processes at period-end (like inventory valuation at actual

    costs) and data analysis without the limit of predefined structures.

    What is SAP HANA? Why SAP HANA? Experience SAP HANA now!

    SAP HANA is an in-memory data platform that is deployable as an on-premise appliance, or in the

    cloud. It is a revolutionary platform thats best suited for performing real-time analytics, and

    developing and deploying real-time applications. At the core of this real-time data platform is the SAP

    HANA database which is fundamentally different than any other database engine in the market today.

    Real-Time Analytics

    SAP HANA specializes in

    Operational Reporting

    Data Warehousing

    Predictive and Text analysis on Big Data

    Real-Time Applications

    But even more important is the new application programming

    paradigm enabled for extreme applications. Since the SAP

    HANA database resides entirely in-memory all the time,

    additional complex calculations, functions and data-intensive

    operations can happen on the data directly in the database,

    without requiring time-consuming and costly movements of

    data between the database and applications.

    This incredible simplification and optimization of the data

    layer is the killer feature of SAP HANA because it removes

    multiple layers of technology and significant human effort to

    get incredible speed. It also has the benefit of reducing the

    overall TCO of the entire solution.

    SAP HANA combines the best of both worlds (OLAP and OLTP), due to its hybrid structure for processing transactional workloads and

    analytical workloads fully in-memory. You dont need to take the time to load data from your transactional database into your reporting

    database, or even build traditional tuning structures to enable that reporting. As transactions are happening, you can report against them

    live. By consolidating two landscapes (OLAP and OLTP) into a single database, SAP HANA provides companies with massively lower TCO

    in addition to mind-blowing speed.
