Database IconOverview

SAP HANA

Description

Built for maximum ingest, fast query, and high concurrency to help you process, analyze, and act on data instantly. Available in the cloud, on Kubernetes, or on-premises.

Only runs on specialized hardware, that is very expensive. Unreliable while handling hybrid workloads.

SAP HANA

Bolt IconReal-Time
Data Ingest

The first database with true linear shared-nothing scalability, enabling essentially unlimited scale, proven from three leading industry benchmarks: TPC-C, TPC-H, and TPC-DS.

Much slower transactions and throughput due to limitations in architecture. Unable to deliver parallel lock-free ingest for streaming data.

Architecture

Scale-out architecture efficiently and quickly responds to growing workloads leveraging commodity hardware without add-ons or specialized tuning expertise.

Scale-out operation requires manual sharding, costly data re-distribution, and expensive hardware addons. Zero data loss is not guaranteed when standby fails.
