| Overview | SAP HANA | |
|---|---|---|
Description | Built for maximum ingest, fast query, and high concurrency to help you process, analyze, and act on data instantly. Available in the cloud, on Kubernetes, or on-premises. | Only runs on specialized hardware, that is very expensive. Unreliable while handling hybrid workloads. |
Database Model | Relational DBMS | Relational DBMS |
DBaaS Offering | SAP HANA | |
| Real-Time | ||
Data Ingest | The first database with true linear shared-nothing scalability, enabling essentially unlimited scale, proven from three leading industry benchmarks: TPC-C, TPC-H, and TPC-DS. | Much slower transactions and throughput due to limitations in architecture. Unable to deliver parallel lock-free ingest for streaming data. |
| Manageability | ||
Maintenance | Rapidly deploy the integrated software only environment on standard hardware for dramatically less complexity and manageability. | Tightly integrated hardware and software configurations results in weeks to months of challenging patching and upgrades tying up DBA resources and impacting end user experiences. |
| Deployment | ||
Flexibility | Devops enabled for rapid deployment, scale, on multi-cloud. Open platform runs with Kafka, Spark, HDFS, Kubernetes. | Not DevOps ready resulting in complex admin operations. Down time during scale out. In-built DR solution is inadequate. |
| Scalability | ||
Architecture | Scale-out architecture efficiently and quickly responds to growing workloads leveraging commodity hardware without add-ons or specialized tuning expertise. | Scale-out operation requires manual sharding, costly data re-distribution, and expensive hardware addons. Zero data loss is not guaranteed when standby fails. |
| Cost-Effectiveness | ||
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) | Simple single product subscription with easy to manage and patch software platform delivers performance with dramatic cost savings. About Licensing | Requires specialized hardware. Expensive maintenance contracts, database options, and upgrade fees result in continuously rising TCO. |
