(*) To know more about Hana:
SAP HANA is a preconfigured analytical appliance In-Memory software and hardware which allows :

• Analyze information in real-time at unprecedented speeds on large volumes of non-aggregated-data
• Create flexible analytic models based on real-time and historic business data
• Foundation for new category of applications (planning, simulation…) to significantly outperform current applications in category
• Minimizes data duplication

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.
