What’s SAP HANA ? SAP HANA is SAP’s vision of in-memory computing.
Based upon several existing technologies, SAP HANA is a database system, designed to greatly speed up database accesses when reading data, while not slowing data insertion.
In several real-world scenarios, SAP has managed to show speedup of more than 10 orders of magnitude, compared to previously recorded performance figures on legacy database systems.

Many clients who have implemented SAP HANA have managed to achieve speedups of between 5 and 7 orders of magnitude of course, the achieved increased speed depends on several factors, including the state of the original system, the time and effort spent transferring it to SAP HANA, and the workload.
If the original system was not well-designed, and the transfer to SAP HANA used as an opportunity to rework the data model, then the improvements would be greater.
HANA doesn’t actually mean anything, but some people have coined the phrase High performance Analytical Appliance, and as this name suggests, it is not just some software you can install.
The SAP HANA system comprises both the software and the hardware necessary to function. By selling SAP HANA as a complete system of its own SAP HANA database on certified hardware supplied by partners such as IBM, HP, and Dell, SAP can guarantee some level of performance (and avoid support calls from clients who aren’t getting the performance level they think they should be getting).
