what's different about SAP HANA cloud?


Kind of a noob question: SAP HANA Cloud calls itself an in-memory cloud platform. What does that mean exactly? Is this because they use their in-memory database?


Solution

  • Yes. The SAP HANA Cloud Platform is the Platform as a Service offering from SAP based on the HANA In-Memory Technology. HANA has just been announced as the leader by Forester amongst In-Memory databases which really sets SAPs PaaS apart from the rest.
