What is HANA?
What is HANA?
In simple terms…
SAP HANA will be a replacement for traditional legacy DB
technology
In memory, columnar database
10’s, 100’s and even 1000’s times faster performance than
legacy DB’s
SAP HANA has embedded features with business processes in
mind, not just developers
What is HANA?
What are the Different SAP Application Products?
SAP Business Suite powered by HANA
Also known as Suite on HANA or SoH
ECC, CRM, SRM , PLM, SEM

Why Business Suite on HANA?
Would increased transactional speed be enough?
MRP that runs in minutes or even seconds instead of hours
No need for batch scheduling because big jobs can run in realtime
Almost every transaction will perform at lightening speed
Competition for computing resources reduced
Some would say that’s enough…but….
What if operational analytics and reporting were built into the
transactional systems as well?

Determining the SoH Impact to My Organization
Determining the SoH Impact to My Organization
What's the Impact of SoH to My Current Landscape?
It does require new hardware
However current infrastructure can leveraged
Current application transactions remain unchanged
No retraining required for current transactions
Only training requirement is for 26 new applications
Potentially can reduce the need for BI/BW
What's the Impact of SoH to My Current Landscape?
With all the built-in analytics of SoH, do I still need
BI/BW? It depends…
SoH does…
Provide real-time analytic capabilities in the operational systems
(ECC, CRM, etc)
Real-time reports from the core modules
Does have an analytic development engine for customer reports
(SHAF)
SoH is not…
A consolidation system for other sources of data
A system that will keep static historical reports or data (not a
repository)
How is Business Suite on HANA Licensed
Business Suite licenses remain as is (ECC, CRM, etc)
HANA database license needed to replace your legacy
database
HANA cost is 15% of SAP application license fee’s (Software
Maintenance Value Base)
The same price as Oracle
Licensing for BW, sidecar apps and HANA development
platform is different
Functional Discussion Summary
Volume of and demand for big data grows every day
To date, the data has outgrown the analytical tools
SoH is a game changer for business
Exciting new architecture that is the platform of the future
Real-time analytics and the addition of SAP’s 26 key
business process will have real impact and tangible ROI
Simple licensing model
Its just the beginning…

Wrap-up
How Does My Environment Change?
What remains the same?
ABAP, configuration, and customization
Transport methodology
Transports between HANA and non-HANA systems are
possible
Monitoring through SAP
Connectivity
Batch processing is much faster
Reporting can be run real time
Analytics are now possible within a single system
SAP HANA enhancements are activated through the
switch framework
These switches are reversible
SAP HANA Landscape Options
SAP standard design methodology still applies….
DEV
QAS
PRD
Standard 3 SID Landscape
Clustering is supported
Largest certified configuration is 16 servers
Disaster Recovery is supported
SAP HANA synchronous system replication
Storage mirroring
Multiple non-productive SIDs can run on a single HANA appliance
3rd Party backup solutions supported with SAP HANA 3rd party tools
are allowed to run on the SAP HANA appliance
SAP HANA compression factor is ~ 3.5-4 times less
Example HANA Landscape
This can be existing or new hardware on any SAP-supported platform!
(HPUX, LINUX, WIN, etc…)

Migrating to Suite on HANA
Minimum Requirements
Dual-Stacks systems are NOT supported
JAVA must be split prior to migration
SAP HANA is a Unicode-only product
Unicode conversion can be combined with migration
Minimum source database platform versions required
Oracle 11.2, SQL Server 2008, etc…
Essentially a standard Heterogeneous Migration process
Existing hardware can be utilized with the HANA appliance
Suite on HANA components can be installed or migrated
individually
CRM on HANA can be deployed/migrated separately from ECC
on HANA
Migrating to Suite on HANA (cont’d)
