HANA Key Technology Facts

Your logo

In-Memory Database (IMDB)

All relevant data kept in memory; all reads are executed without Disk I/O
Additional structures to speed up access (indexes) are no longer needed
Disk storage still exists but:
Only needed to preserve permanent changes
Can be used to store aged data that is no longer needed operationally
Disk writes happen asynchronously no impact on performance
Memory access itself is optimized to avoid CPU having to wait
Column-based storage
Compression
High data locality many operations can run completely in the CPU cache without
accessing the memory

Optimal use of multi-CPU architecture

Parallel execution through partitioning
Calculations run in parallel, minimal locking and sequential processing
