Ask Approyo: Can I answer all my data discovery questions without adding more DBAs to do data tuning with SAP HANA?

SAP HANA Platform vs. Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache

SAP HANA
YES - Because all hot data is automatically in-memory.

SAP HANA Platform is architected to manage data in-memory by default. Applications are automatically accelerated because the data they need is readily available in-memory. Additionally, both planned and unplanned questions are answered in real-time and drill-downs along any dimension are possible without additional DBA intervention. No data copies, indexes, pre aggregates or materialized view are required to deliver real-time performance.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO - The database must be periodically reconfigured. More questions = More DBA time

Disk-based databases are architected to manage data on disk and use add-on in-memory caches and other data structures to accelerate performance. Before users can analyze data along new dimensions, DBAs need to configure and tune the database to ensure acceptable response times. This might involve copying data to the in-memory cache, dropping or creating new indexes, or creating materialized views. Some of these actions might negatively affect the performance of other applications and thus require additional tuning. For example, the time required to update indexes can slow down transactional applications.

Ask Approyo: Are my applications accelerated without manual intervention and tuning with SAP HANA?

Are my applications accelerated without manual intervention and tuning with SAP HANA?

SAP HANA Platform vs. Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache

SAP HANA
YES - SAP HANA stores data in memory first.

With SAP HANA neither specialized caches nor multiple data copies are needed. SAP HANA is architected to manage data in-memory by default and uses a columnar store to seamlessly run both analytics and transactions. Additionally, it uses CPU caches to work on compressed data, leverages multi-core processors to scan columns in parallel and uses SIMD instructions to simultaneously process multiple data sets, delivering unmatched performance without indexes or materialized views. Applications are automatically accelerated because the data they need is readily available in real-time, without DBA intervention.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO - All data is on the disk by default.

Disk-based databases are architected to manage data on disk and use add-on in-memory caches to selectively accelerate access to portions of data. To accelerate applications, DBAs identify what data to accelerate and ensure it is duplicated in the appropriate in-memory cache. Additionally they maintain indexes and other data structures to ensure that performance of both transactional and analytical workloads is acceptable. The task is
daunting since it is often challenging to predict what data needs acceleration and to ensure mixed workload performance, which leads to extensive testing and tuning.

Ask Approyo: Can I achieve predictable response times for ad hoc queries with SAP HANA?

SAP HANA Platform vs. Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache

SAP HANA
YES - Predictable response times

SAP HANA Platform maintains data in-memory by default, and all queries - planned and unplanned (ad-hoc) - have real-time access to the data they need and can return results in a predictable amount of time. It is possible to estimate response times using processors' scan speed, memory access time and size of data accessed by a query. SAP HANA also maintains one single copy of the data to be used for both analytical and transactional workloads, eliminating possible delays related to data synchronization and ensuring all queries are performed on fresh data.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO - No predictable response times

Disk-based databases are architected to manage data on disk and use add-on in-memory caches to accelerate access to portions of data. Only queries that exclusively access cached data can return results in a predictable time. All other queries experience delays because access times depend on parameters such as where the data is placed on disk, which indexes are used, and the number of parallel processes accessing the disk. Ad-hoc
queries will experience unpredictable response times when some or all of the data required is available only on disk.

Ask Approyo: Can I get the full picture of my business in real time with SAP HANA?

SAP HANA Platform vs. Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache 

SAP HANA
YES - Because all hot data is automatically in-memory.

Since SAP HANA Platform maintains data in-memory by default, data can be aggregated on-the-fly along any dimension, without requiring indexes, pre-aggregates or materialized views. As a result, SAP HANA can not only return aggregates in real time but also allow users to drill down to any level of detail to analyze data. With SAP HANA, users can analyze data at any level of granularity in a self-service manner and obtain results in real-time.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
No - Because only pre-selected data is copied in-memory

Users are limited in the granularity of their real-time data analysis since disk-based databases are architected to manage data on disk and use a combination of add-on in-memory caches, indexes, pre-aggregates and materialized views to accelerate performance. For better performance the DBA has to duplicate data on in-memory caches and create data structures for data on disk before users can perform drill-downs. Additionally, if the size of the in-memory cache cannot accommodate all the required data, the DBA has to resize the system and potentially restart it.
