When your IT environment is about
transacting business and achieving
bottom-line results, how do you choose
the right partner to customize your
infrastructure? To seamlessly integrate
your systems? To manage your network?
To tailor security, performance and
availability to meet your business needs
and budget realities?
Have a need for speed? SAP HANA gets behind the wheel and drives your data, giving your business the
greatest chance to finish first among your competition.
Ten-Fold Speed Increase
What is SAP HANA?
All organizations large and small capture
so much data today and putting that data
to use – well that’s a constant battle for IT,
and a source of frustration for end users.
What really matters?
Your end users’ experience
With information so critical to your
business success, real-time analytics
solutions accelerate decision-making at all
levels of your organization.
Typically, data is saved offline based on
a specific schedule and then business
analytics is run against the saved data.
Already, you’re at a disadvantage because
your decisions are made based on old
information.
How much more competitive could you
be if you were able to react immediately
in real time?
What could you achieve with a ten-fold
speed increase?
HANA (and HANA, edge edition for
SME) is the solution to enabling your
applications to really look at data. Before
HANA the biggest throttling point
was the database.Your network could
handle the data.Your servers could
handle the speeds.
HANA gives you the capability of doing
things you couldn’t do before. Even
though the application solutions may
be available today, you couldn’t fully
implement them because of the time it
takes to run the data—simply not enough
database speed.
Now you can look further into your
business. Now you can run reports
against years of data—including
BI production data. Even your
dashboards load more quickly.
SAP HANA enables any application that
looks at or analyzes data. Just point the

data to HANA (no API) and HANA
returns results in remarkable speeds.
• Perhaps you want to integrate 2
platforms—Microsoft CRM and
SAP. You no longer need a custom
API as you simply point the data
to HANA. HANA simplifies
application integration by
becoming the middle point.
• Your dashboard exists today, but you
can’t pull in as much data as you’d like.
Go ahead and bring in diverse data.
Pull it all into HANA and do it faster
with HANA, for example 10 different
data sources in seconds (when it may
have taken a day to complete it all
pre-HANA.)*
• In a normal world, the dashboard load
would be 30 seconds, with HANA it’s
2-3 seconds.*
• Before HANA you could run your
fraud protection software against a
day’s worth of data. With HANA you
can run it against a year of data to see
the big picture.*
• With HANA you have the speed to
do predictive analyses of sales for
multiple years.*

What does a SAP HANA,
edge edition solution
look like?
•
•
The SAP HANA or HANA, edge edition
system does not arrive fully configured
direct from the manufacturer. The HANA
software and the operating system must
be installed. The system must be made
network-ready. The licensing must be
established. Due to the complexity of
the solution, it’s crucial to work with
knowledgeable and experienced partners.
