Im having a hard time googling what is HANA. What is it and what can it be used for?
HANA in-memory computing platform Description
Hit there,
HANA or High-performance Analytic Appliance is a data warehouse appliance, which is a combination of hardware and software products that is specifically designed for analytical processing, and since HANA is of this type it has the capability to process High volumes of operational and transactional data in real-time . HANA unlike other data warehouse appliances uses in-memory analytics that queries data stored in the primary memory instead of secondary storage or flash memory.
Also unique to HANA is its use of SAP Sybase replication server to copy and synchronize data from enterprise resource planning or ERP application in real time. Hope that answers any questions regarding HANA

HANA in-memory computing platform Description
Many thanks Rasoda_Frak and Sharath Reddy for your valuable comments. I am a new business owner and one of my friends recommended me to try SAP HANA. He said that it has totally been remodeled, and is currently using a modern platform that allows real-time posting of business transactions. He also told me that HANA can help me radically accelerate the speed at which I do my analysis, business procedures, data processing, et cetera. He said that all this is done through an in-memory computing platform. Because of the positive attributes I got, I am really interested in HANA. Sharath’s comments taught me all I needed to know about HANA. I am sure this application will have great impact on my new business.
