BARCELONA — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP)
today announced the SAP HANA 2 platform, the next generation of SAP HANA optimized for innovation.
Next-Generation Platform for Digital
Transformation to Help IT Balance Agility and Stability
SAP HANA 2 includes and extends the proven technology from SAP’s
breakthrough in-memory computing platform to provide a new foundation for
digital transformation. In addition, new SAP HANA microservices are available by subscription through the SAP Hybris as a Service (informally referred to as “YaaS”) marketplace to spur developer
innovation by embedding richer insight into modern applications. These
announcements were made at SAP TechEd Barcelona being held Nov. 8–10.
“SAP pioneered in-memory computing with the launch of SAP HANA in 2010 and
throughout our journey we have driven breakthrough innovation on a highly
stable core data platform for our customers,” said Bernd Leukert, member of the
executive board, Products and Innovation, SAP SE. “The release of SAP HANA 2
marks a milestone in the industry, as it represents the next generation of SAP
HANA that will propel customers toward a successful and prosperous digital
future.”
SAP HANA 2 is planned to be released to customers on November 30, 2016.
The express edition of SAP HANA 2 will be available for delivery shortly after general
availability to help organizations jump-start new development projects. As an
innovation platform, SAP HANA 2 will deliver technology enhancements twice a
year to support agile IT.
Planned new key features and enhancements to help IT transform include:
- Database management: IT organizations will be able to provide business continuity with enhanced
high availability, security, workload management and administration
enhancements. For example, the new active/active read-enabled option
enables IT organizations to leverage secondary systems – previously used only
for system replication – to off-load read-intensive workloads for improved
operations. - Data management: Businesses are expected to leverage data, regardless of where it resides,
with enhancements to enterprise modeling, data integration, data quality and
tiered storage. A new edition of the SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer Web
application that works with and is powered by SAP HANA allows IT organizations
to manage complex information architectures and visualize the potential impact
of new technologies before they are implemented. - Analytical intelligence: Developers are embedding rich insight into applications with enhanced
analytical processing engines for text, spatial, graph and streaming data. For
example, new algorithms for classification, association, time series and
regression have been added to the predictive analytics library to empower data
scientists to discover new patterns and incorporate machine learning into
custom applications. - Application development: Developers are expected to build and deploy next-generation applications
with enhanced functions for application servers, development tools and
languages. For example, bring-your-own-language support provides a choice of
additional third-party build packs and runtimes that can be used within SAP
HANA extended application services, advanced model. Also, a new file processor
API enables developers to extract text and metadata from documents to deliver
deeper insights.New SAP HANA Microservices in the Cloud
Users of cloud-based microservices powered by SAP HANA can enhance
applications with analytical insight using simple APIs and any language or
development platform.The new SAP HANA services in the cloud include:
- Text Analysis Entity
Extraction, Text Analysis Fact
Extraction and Text Analysis Linguistic
Analysis: Use text
data processing features in the cloud for application enhancement with natural
language processing. - Earth Observation Analysis service
(beta): Co-innovated with European Space Agency (ESA) and based on the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) EO-WCS standard, this microservice accesses satellite data from ESA and
uses SAP HANA, spatial edition, to perform spatial processing in the cloud. The
new service, announced today in conjunction with Munich RE, delivers
historic information about vegetation, water, soil and other spectral indexes
in real time.
“SAP HANA 2 represents a continuation of technology innovation by SAP,
designed to enable organizations to address the fast-changing aspects of
digital business,” said Carl Olofson, research vice president, IDC. “SAP HANA 2
features new and enhanced functions that can enhance data management and
accelerate application development for digital transformation. In addition, new
SAP HANA microservices in the cloud, accessible through SAP Hybris as a
