SAP HANA Learning Journey
SAP HANA is an in-memory database and development platform by SAP. It serves as the software giant’s contemporary, in-memory computing product for the business market. SAP HANA offers column-based storage, data aging and dynamic tiering, provisioning capabilities, high availability and disaster recovery, monitoring tools, data modeling, and a slew of security options. It is available for on-premise, cloud, and two-tiered (hybrid) deployments.
What Is In-Memory Computing?
In-memory computing refers to the ability to store large amounts of data in the main memory of a server—the RAM memory one may consider when buying a computing product. This results in fewer movements of data when recalled and faster transaction time. Just how fast can data be accessed when stored and used in RAM? 10,000 times faster than data stored on a hard disk.

Thinking About a Career in SAP HANA?
Let SAP HANA administrator Bert Vanstechelman fill you in:
"When it comes to setting up a new system, there are a lot of things to do. After the initial system installation and data load, you should make a backup. This backup should not be limited to the database, but should include the operating system too. Once everything is up and running, you will then have to monitor the health of the SAP HANA system. SAP HANA cockpit or SAP HANA Studio are excellent tools for doing so. Keep an eye on the system status, alerts, and usage. It’s especially important to make sure there are adequate memory and CPU. Even SAP HANA will become slow when starved of resources!"
