Ask Approyo: Can my application provide analytics while updating the same copy of data in real time with SAP HANA?

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

SAP HANA
YES - Transactions and queries performed on same data in-memory

SAP HANA Platform is an ACID, persistent, in-memory, columnar database that accelerates both queries and transactions using one data copy, in-memory. SAP HANA column table’s temporary delta store makes it efficient to process high-speed transactions. With SAP HANA Platform, applications can execute transactional and analytical workloads in parallel while preserving data integrity and system performance.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO - The in-memory cache is not a database, it is just a read-only cache.

Disk-based databases with an in-memory cache typically process transactions (update, insert or delete operations) on disk and then update the data in the in-memory cache to ensure read consistency. Applications that perform both transactions and queries would have to wait for transactions to complete on disk before accessing the updated data in the cache. Since disk access is much slower than memory access these applications will experience delays.

Approyo SAP HANA Case Study: Saving the Trucking Industry with SAP HANA

The American trucking industry is critical to the lives of every person living in the United States. If the trucks stopped rolling, the grocery store shelves would be empty within 48 hours. And yet, this industry is still run with technology built during deregulation in the 1980’s. AS/400 based operating systems are commonplace, and even the more modern systems are built on technology platforms that are over 10 years old.

Covenant Transportation Group (CTG) is a top 50 for hire carrier in the trucking industry. With three asset based operating companies and 3500 drivers, it has a 30 year history of serving a variety of market segments and customers.  In early 2014, CTG decided to commit to a new technology initiative: predictive modeling and advanced analytics. After a competitive bidding process, CTG selected the SAP Predictive Analytics package over SAS and IBM SPSS solutions. It quickly became apparent that to get the most out of this software suite, speed and power on the database side would be critical.

Enter SAP HANA powered by Approyo for CTG. By harnessing the power of SAP HANA and taking relevant weather, driver, critical event, routing and logistic data and creating one of a kind predictive analysis, CTG is able to get the right driver matched to the right freight, supported in the right way to get from the shipper to the receiver safely, efficiently, and happily.

Get connected with Big Data and SAP HANA

With SAP HANA in-memory computing and solutions for Big Data from SAP, any business, of any size, can access fast insight and run on predictive maintenance. The real-time data processing capabilities embedded in SAP HANA will help you speed up time-to-insight and insight-to-action cycles. So, not only can you detect potential maintenance issues earlier, you can also resolve them faster. That’s not all though.

Big Data provides incredibly rich insight that many businesses are still leaving untapped. For example, by looking at third-party data, you can determine the optimal maintenance strategy for a specific product or customer. Say a product is affected by temperature or moisture, your maintenance planning cycle can then incorporate weather reports. You can even tap into online customer reviews to better understand quality issues and timing. Or, what about defects? With data analysis, you can identify them and schedule in repairs before your end users even spot them.

You can do all of this, and so much more, at the speed of business. You’ll have all the relevant information together and ‘talking’ at the same time. So, there’s no need to live in the past and run operations on limited historical information and incomplete conclusions. You can operate more holistically, run more efficiently and make informed, connected predictions to drive your business forward.

Let Approyo help you with all your SAP HANA needs:

• Worry-free SAP HANA - Let Approyo manage your entire SAP HANA environment in the cloud, backed by our SAP HANA certified environment and experts.
