SAP HANA DATA PLATFORM

SAP HANA is a pioneering, and one of the best perform-ing, data platform designed from the grounds up to heav-ily exploit modern hardware capabilities, including SIMD, and large memory and CPU footprints. As a comprehen-sive data management solution, SAP HANA supports the complete data life cycle encompassing modeling, provision-ing, and consumption. This extended abstract outlines the vision and planned next step of the SAP HANA evolution growing from a core data platform into an innovative enter-prise application platform as the foundation for current as well as novel business applications in both on-premise and on-demand scenarios. We argue that only a holistic sys-tem design rigorously applying co-design at di↵erent levels may yield a highly optimized and sustainable platform for modern enterprise applications
