SAP HANA ONLINETRAINING IN USA

Introduction In today’s business world, High Availability (HA) is an extremely important consideration for any enterprise-level IT architecture. A technology platform missing on critical HA features is not enterprise-ready. HANA has been touted by SAP as the modern platform for real-time analytics and applications. The SAP HANA documentation [1] even states that “SAP HANA is fully designed for high availability.”. However – as the analysis in this whitepaper shows, this assertion is not correct! This whitepaper provides an in-depth analysis of the HA features available with SAP HANA Support Package Stack (SPS) 07 [2]. It also provides a comparison between these SAP HANA HA features and HA features available with the Oracle Database, as part of Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) [3]. As this white paper demonstrates – as far as HA is concerned, there are serious drawbacks in HANA’s technical architecture, and HANA lacks several key capabilities that are absolutely necessary to implement a robust HA architecture. SAP HANA is not enterprise-ready. The intended audience of this whitepaper are members of IT managerial and technical teams interested in finding out whether SAP HANA is viable for any of their critical applications, and/or who want to get a better understanding of how the HANA architecture compares with well-established high availability technologies.
