SAP HANA Overview

 OVERVIEW

SAP In-Memory Appliance (SAP HANA)

SAP HANA is a hardware and software combination that integrates a number of SAP

components including the SAP In-memory database, Sybase Replication technology and SAP®

LT (Landscape Transformation) Replicator.

The SAP in-memory database is a hybrid in-memory database that combines row-based,

column-based, and object-based database technology. It is optimized to exploit parallel

processing capabilities of modern multi core/CPU architectures. With this architecture, SAP

applications can benefit from current hardware technologies.

SAP HANA contains the following components and tools:

• SAP® In-Memory Computing Engine (IMCE) Server 1.0

• SAP® IMCE Clients 1.0 – The IMCE clients are the interfaces by which the IMCE can

communicate with other components. The following subcomponents are included:

o IMCE ODBO 1.0 (OLE DB for OLAP)

o IMCE ODBC 1.0 (Open Database Connectivity)

o IMCE JDBC 1.0 (Java Database Connectivity)

o IMCE SQLDBC 1.0 (SQL Database Connectivity)

• SAP® IMCE Studio1.0 (includes SAP HANA Modeler)

• Sybase Replication Server 15 + Sybase Enterprise Connect Data Access (ECDA)

• Sybase Replication Agent

• SAP® HANA Load Controller 1.0 (includes R3Load, RepServer De-cluster Add-On)

• SAP® Host Agent 7.20
