HANA (High-Performance Analytic Appliance)

HANA (High-Performance Analytic Appliance) is an advanced in-memory database technology developed by SAP that allows organizations to process large amounts of data quickly. Unlike traditional databases that store data on disk, HANA stores data in RAM, enabling real-time analytics and faster decision-making. It integrates transactional and analytical processing in a single system, reducing the time needed to analyze data. This makes it ideal for complex queries, large datasets, and real-time insights, supporting business needs such as reporting, planning, and predictive analytics efficiently.
