Ask Approyo: How can SAP S/4 HANA lower your TCO?

Simplified Architecture for Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

SAP S/4HANA can dramatically reduce your TCO by impacting all pillars of the TCO equation:
  • Lower data footprint: By storing a single copy of data in-memory and eliminating the needs for aggregates, materialized views and indexes
  • Reduction in setup costs: Faster time to value with SAP Activate
  • Lower testing costs: By eliminating certification requirements for non production HANA hardware
  • Simplified landscapes: by blending transactional and analytical systems into one platform.
  • Native integration: offering out of the box integration with SAP Cloud solutions like SuccessFactors and Ariba
  • And Increased asset utilization: with co-deployment of APO on the same HANA box as SAP S/4HANA

Ask Approyo - Can I run transactions and analytics on the same system without adding more DRAM and CPU resources?

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

SAP HANA
YES - Because SAP HANA requires only one copy of data.

SAP HANA Platform is designed to take advantage of the latest hardware innovations. It utilizes SIMD instructions, advanced parallelization with multi-core processors and data compression to maximize CPU and RAM utilization. This allows for processing mixed workloads on the same system and on the same copy of data with the most efficient utilization of system resources.

​​

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO -Because data is copied and stored multiple times for transactions and analytics.

To process transactional and analytical workloads on the same system, disk-based databases need to use specialized in-memory caches. To leverage this new technology layer the database not only has to create multiple data copies and keep them synchronized, but in addition must also route incoming requests to the appropriate data copies. This increases the amount of CPU and memory required and delays system response.

Ask Approyo: Can I simplify my IT landscape with an in-memory solution?

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

SAP HANA
YES - One copy of data for all requests

SAP HANA Platform simplifies IT landscapes by taking advantage of in-memory computing and by delivering application, database and integration services in one platform. By taking advantage of in-memory computing, it can efficiently process transactions,streams, graphs and advanced analytics, such as predictive,spatial and text, on the same system and on one copy of the data. Additionally, by delivering application, database and integration services in one platform, it reduces data movements and staging among operational systems and between database and application server. This results in better performance, a simplified IT infrastructure and lower administration costs.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO - Multiple copies of data needed for different requests

Since disk-based databases are designed to manage data on disk, in-memory caches are deployed to accelerate data access.This involves the introduction of an additional technology layer as well as the synchronization and maintenance of multiple copies of data. As a result, the consumption of system resources, the burden of system administration and the complexity of the IT infrastructure increases

Ask Approyo: Do my SAP Applications run better and faster on an in-memory platform?

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

SAP HANA
YES - SAP applications are optimized to run on SAP HANA.

Business logic resides inside the database

SAP HANA platform enables data-related business logic to run inside the database and provides a wealth of advanced business function libraries, algorithms and services to correlate and analyze data efficiently. SAP HANA also provides easy to use modeling capabilities to automatically push application logic to the database. SAP Business Suite takes full advantage of these capabilities, delivering increased performance.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO - Performance needs to be tested on acase-by-case basis

SAP Business Suite runs efficiently on the leading RDBMSs,however, it has not been specifically optimized for any given RDBMS. At present, SAP Business Suite is not certified to run on the different RDBMSs with in-memory caches and performance on these extensions needs to be verified on a case-by-case basis.

Ask Approyo: Am I able to run my business in real time, with all my data in-memory, ready for processing with SAP HANA?

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

SAP HANA
YES - Because SAP HANA is designed to manage data in-memory.
​​
Future-proof – designed to run business at the speed of memory

SAP HANA in-memory Platform maintains one data copy for both transactional and analytical workloads. All data is in a compressed, columnar format to maximize access speed and the amount of data managed in-memory. Using the dynamic tiering capability, rarely accessed data can also be maintained on disk-based, columnar tables. Access to this data remains fast because it can be moved to memory for processing without being reorganized. In this way, SAP HANA can manage databases of any size without being limited by the amount of available memory in a system.

Disk-Based Database with In-Memory Cache
NO - Because the solution is designed to manage data on disk.

Business innovation is limited by the speed of the disk

Disk-based databases are architected to manage data on disk and use caches and other data structures to accelerate data access. In this way the disk latency can be mitigated but not eliminated because the core engine has been optimized to manage data that reside on disk and cannot function if the data is not maintained in it. While analytical workloads on cached data can be processed without accessing the disk, transactional
workloads always require disk access.

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.
