SAP revamps SAP HANA Platform and Service Pack 6

SAP AG has unveiled new innovations in SAP HANA platform and service pack 6(SP6). With this service pack, SAP has introduced new SAP HANA smart data access technology to help enterprises dynamically derive real-time insights across heterogeneous sources such as Hadoop. New in-memory spatial capabilities in SAP HANA will help businesses uncover richer and meaningful signals from business and geospatial data. The expanded SAP HANA One service will help customers and independent software vendors (ISVs) accelerate their time to value through flexible cloud deployment models. The completion of the integration of Sybase data management with SAP HANA will further transform customers’ end-to-end data management landscape.

Vishal Sikka, Member of the Executive Board of SAP AG, Technology & Innovation, said,  "With SAP HANA, we have embarked on a journey to continuously re-think and transform how we access, interact with and analyze data to answer any question of any complexity in real-time. Breaking down the unnecessary divide between OLTP and OLAP has only been the beginning. We will continue to re-invent real-time experiences by bringing the power of SAP HANA to more data varieties, sources and deployment options to enable enterprises to run as fast as our imaginations."

The latest enhancements to SAP HANA continue to provide additional value with smarter in-memory data virtualization, robust spatial data processing and simpler appliance architecture. The enhanced SAP HANA will empower the customers to run their business in real time within the window of opportunity needed to transact, analyze and predict instantly and proactively.
Additional capabilities in the SAP HANA service pack will include enhanced data services, disaster recovery feature, embedded interactive education, integrated data provisioning and modelling.
