Hana large Data Fusion architecture users focus on performance and ROI

Over the past 2012 years, big data has become an important trend that almost all companies are concerned about. However, the landing of large data in the country is still a difficult problem, around the large data technology and discussion there are many, but at the commercial level applications still need to be developed. Gartner China's chief analyst, Jin, said large data is currently in the small-scale experimental application stage, whether it can meet the commercial needs of the remaining disputes, including performance, stability, security, cost management are not enough. In addition, CIOs need to plan for people and processes in addition to technical considerations.

At the same time, major IT vendors are also in the field of large data exploration, hope that through more mature products or solutions to help users to apply large data to the landing. Integration architecture, memory technology and Hadoop are the most concerned areas of the current large-scale manufacturers. According to the IDC survey, more than half of the future companies will accept and deploy one machine (cost permitting), and integrated hardware and software integration solutions are expected to become new standards for future data center architectures. Memory replacement disk as the main data storage and processing media is a major development trend in the future, memory technology for IT system performance promotion is very significant, high-performance even real-time data analysis will become an important prerequisite for business innovation.

In the combination of integration and memory technology, SAP launched high-performance data analysis platform Hana is undoubtedly one of the most concerned products. Its main memory analysis and software and hardware integration architecture, so that users in response to the challenges of large data and a "sharp weapon." In the recent activities of the "SAP Hana Global Travel Shanghai Station" hosted by TechTarget China, users from various industries said that with the growth of the business, the demand for large data gradually emerged, and the accuracy and effectiveness of mining value needed to be analyzed from large data. For SAP HANA Platform, users pay more attention to the performance and investment return (ROI) and so on.

From Huatai Insurance, deputy manager of the System support department Huling to TechTarget China reporter, a large number of incremental business data follow-up analysis is currently a major challenge. Huatai Insurance is currently used in the system has been relatively old, in the running of reports and BI analysis of the performance of the poor performances, and the company hopes to carry out a larger system transformation.

"We used Oracle databases, and the BI system was the product of small vendors and some of the tools we developed." In the mass data analysis, OLAP performance problems become the biggest obsession, "Huling said:" The current integration of software and hardware integrated architecture is a trend, SAP Hana memory Technology in the protection of fast and efficient, but also to achieve security and stability, which is the Hana most attracted us a reason. ”

As we all know, the integration of products requires a lot of capital investment, how to protect the customer's ROI is a problem that SAP needs to solve. Huling said that Huatai insurance will continue to have an in-depth understanding of Hana, if the eventual failure to purchase Hana, then the main reason will also focus on budget constraints and high costs.

In response to this issue, from the Shanghai Institute of Telecommunications Technology, senior system engineer Gongde Ambition TechTarget reporter introduced, from the operator point of view, technology and capital reserves relative to other industries have a certain advantage, the company in large data applications in all aspects are trying. On the other hand, Shing said, telecoms operators are most afraid of the wrong way, which is one of the main reasons why the Shanghai Institute of Telecommunications has not put Bao on a product or technology. Operators have very large amounts of data and need to quickly tap useful information, so the performance requirements are very stringent.

"We focus on SAP Hana primarily from a performance-enhancing perspective, and we also test other products, including some open-source Hadoop," he said. "Shing said.

In addition to large operators and financial institutions, other industries have shown interest in SAP Hana. Users from the IT service industry to TechTarget reporter, because the Hana used the memory database technology and integration architecture, it in the actual deployment and traditional products are bound to exist a certain difference, this is his most concerned about the topic. In addition, the education industry users also show a strong interest in Hana. Shanghai University Network Information Center in charge to reporters that the current university research projects also want to introduce some advanced technology from abroad, Hana is one of them, and Hana and Open source technology will be a very interesting topic.

It is reported that SAP company has just announced that its ERP software business Suite has been able to run on the Hana platform, and expects that by the end of 2013 will be based on Hana customer scale of more than 600. At present, the first successful case of domestic Hana is the farmer Spring Company, its CIO Jian said the future company plans to move the production environment to Hana. For end users, more successful cases will undoubtedly promote the further popularization of SAP Hana.
