SAP to Set All Cloud Products on HANA Foundation
June 20, 2013
Data firm SAP is rightly proud if its in-memory platform HANA. Things are going so well that ComputerWorldUK now reports, “HANA to Fully Underpin SAP Cloud Products Within ‘One or Two Years’.” The company is using the platform as the basis for all of its cloud solutions, including recent acquisitions like SuccessFactors and Ariba. Writer Derek du Preez tells us:
“Enterprise software giant SAP has unveiled a ‘unified’ cloud strategy this week, which will see its cloud products supported by its in-memory database technology, HANA, within one or two years.
“The move indicates SAP’s dedication to the HANA platform and complements its announcement last week that HANA will now be offered as a third-party managed cloud service. In recent years SAP’s focus on HANA has been the ability to run analytics in real-time, but has since revealed capabilities to run full ERP, CRM and SCM apps in-memory.”
At the top of our minds: How will SAP search stuff in HANA? Which of the second-tier search vendors will the company embrace now that Autonomy, Brainware, Exalead, Fast, Isys, and Vivisimo are off the table? Hmm. . .Trex, perhaps?
SAP supplies enterprise software to over 238,000 customers. Founded 1972 by five former IBM workers, the company is headquartered in Walldorf Germany and maintains locations in over 130 countries.
