Every time I visit a customer, I am in awe of their stories about innovation, transformation, and opportunity. Healthcare organizations are pioneering medical treatments to increase survival rate from one of the leading causes of death. The world of sports is engaging fans, protecting the health of its athletes, and changing how the game is played by processing historical and real-time data with the ease and speed everyone demands. And even the second busiest port in the world is increasing capacity by 200% without expanding its physical footprint.
It’s clear that thousands of customers that are using SAP HANA software are evolving their people, processes, and products to answer the needs of our increasingly digital world. But more important, they are igniting changes that potentially improve lives, societies, and the entire world.
SAP HANA in the cloud
It’s well-documented that SAP HANA is a proven in-memory platform for next-generation applications and analytics. The platform processes transactions and advanced analytics on a single data copy and delivers real-time insights on live transactional data, self-service analytics, simplified IT landscape, and reduced administration. With SAP HANA, there is no disk latency and data duplication, unlike other disk based databases with in-memory options. And for many of our customers, all of these capabilities bring accelerated innovation, simplified application development, and less IT landscape complexity.
But many people don’t know . . .
SAP offers a broad range of choice when deploying SAP HANA
• On-premise for maximum control
• Cloud for fast time to value
• Hybrid for greater flexibility and scale
There is no hardware lock-in. Rather, a tailored data-center model lets customers use existing hardware and infrastructure components – such as storage and network devices and processors – for your deployment of SAP HANA.
1. SAP HANA runs on a variety cloud models that bring great flexibility
The flexibility and variety we offer enable our customers to dictate the path to digital transformation that best matches their needs and vision.
• Private managed cloud
• Public cloud, pay-as-you-go model
• Public cloud infrastructure as a service
• Public cloud platform as a service
For example, the SAP HANA One is our pay-as-you-go cloud implementation service is available with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Alibaba. Plus, our customers can run SAP HANA and their applications on SAP HANA with their existing licenses on AWS with a choice of EC2 instances or Microsoft Azure clouds infrastructure services. In addition, with the “capture and replay” in hybrid mode of SAP HANA, you can test the impact of system changes in the cloud before committing upgrades on premise.
2. SAP HANA in the managed cloud brings simplicity, experience, optimization, innovation, and peace of mind
SAP HANA paves the way for a fully scalable and secure cloud offering. Through the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud service, a managed services approach to a private cloud leverages SAP HANA to run core applications in the cloud. It offers elasticity, automation, and ease of administration expected from a cloud solution.

• Experience supporting over 1300 instances of SAP HANA
• Optimization architected to support each customer’s landscape
• Innovation delivering a platform for innovation
• Peace of mind providing an integrated support model
Designed and built for vital operations, our customers no longer need to make tradeoffs among performance, integration, security, failover, and disaster recovery. SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud offers built-in operations and management capabilities that lead to faster implementation time. More important, it sets the foundation for mission-critical applications used for productive use or as a project accelerator.
