What is HANA database? In-Memory Computing

SAP HANA is SAP AG’s implementation of in-memory database technology. There are four components within the software group:

• SAP HANA DB (or HANA DB) refers to the database technology itself,
• SAP HANA Studio refers to the suite of tools provided by SAP for modeling,
• SAP HANA Appliance refers to HANA DB as delivered on partner certified hardware (see below) as an appliance. It also includes the modeling tools from HANA Studio as well as replication and data transformation tools to move data into HANA DB,
• SAP HANA Application Cloud refers to the cloud based infrastructure for delivery of applications (typically existing SAP applications rewritten to run on HANA).

HANA DB takes advantage of the low cost of main memory (RAM), data processing abilities of multi-core processors and the fast data access of solid-state drives relative to traditional hard drives to deliver better performance of analytical and transactional applications. It offers a multi-engine query processing environment which allows it to support both relational data (with both row- and column-oriented physical representations in a hybrid engine) as well as graph and text processing for semi- and unstructured data management within the same system. HANA DB is 100% ACID compliant.

While HANA has been called variously an acronym for HAsso's New Architecture (a reference to SAP founder Hasso Plattner) andHigh Performance ANalytic Appliance, HANA is a name not an acronym.

The SAP Document Builder supports companies by:

 

Automating and streamlining the document-creation process.

Enforcing best practices.

Building documents that reflect company-specific styles and formats from one or more regulation sets.

Determining inclusion or exclusion of clauses based on legal regulations by means of rules.

 

What is Duet?

Duet is a product result of a partnership between SAP and Microsoft. It enables users to easily and quickly interact with SAP business processes and data via their familiar Microsoft Office environment. It is the first joint product created by these two industry leaders and is designed to revolutionize how IT workers interact with enterprise applications.

Duet aims to enable:

 

Budget Monitoring: Schedule time-critical alerts and notifications to monitor cost centers or internal orders, which are delivered directly to Microsoft Outlook.

Demand Planning: Create and use planning sheets, as well as analyze and manage demand planning data from the SAP System using Microsoft Excel.

Duet Reporting: Schedule reports to be delivered regularly to Microsoft Outlook, receive individual reports on an as-needed basis, and view reports in Microsoft Excel.

Leave Management: Add leave requests as Microsoft Outlook calendar items that integrate approval guidelines in the SAP System and enterprise-defined processes.

Sales Management: Manage CRM accounts and contacts, create business activities, and access sales analytics information using Microsoft Outlook.

Team Management: Access up-to-date information about yourself and employees, open positions, and organizational structures that are integrated from the SAP System into the Microsoft Outlook contacts area.

Time Management: Record time in the Microsoft Outlook calendar, streamlining time entry while ensuring time-reporting compliance in the SAP System.

Travel Management: Create a travel request and a travel expense report in the SAP System using Microsoft Outlook.

Even though there was a great buzz over this new and apparently revolutionary framework, Duet didn’t have the success that was announced. Instead, earlier in 2009 SAP announced a new partnership with IBM
