Figure 1:

In this session, we want to introduce SAP HANA Cloud, the next evolutionary step of SAP HANA. You will see how customers will benefit from a cloud data platform that provides easy and immediate access to all data, with SAP HANA real-time processing and low TCO, while reducing the complexity of your system landscape.

Data growth in a data driven world
50% of data will reside in the cloud
Companies are recognizing this trend

Figure 4:

Strategic direction, migration to cloud is critical
Most customers are coming from on premise with complex infrastructures, data compliance challenges
On premise data center, create web application

From on premise to cloud

HANA Cloud – data fabric and central data store

Connect on premise to HANA Cloud, use it as a gateway to other sources
Central store, central access to data sources

Figure 7: 

Value proposition
Benefits – upper left – bring on premise with power of cloud – elasticity
HANA Cloud – cloud native database
Streamline access to developers, admins and users
Developer can access via unified access layer

Figure 8: 

Differences between HANA on premise and cloud
Buy hardware, configure OS, backop (on premise)
With cloud, large part of stack is managed by SAP
HANA Cloud is a database as a service
You control access to database – SQL access, options to enable

“SAP is your single point of contact”

Figure 9: 

Gray box is HANA instance; runs in Kubernetes cluster
Docker based
Containers in Docker
Orchestrated by Kubernetes
Hidden from customers
Multi-cloud enabled; every hyperscaler that can run Kubernetes can run this; not depend on a specific cloud infrastructure
Get HANA database with advanced analytical operations, machine learning
Enrich with virtualizations capabilities; beyond on-premise
Native Storage Extension (NSE) – transparent to you, can use it as it comes; enabled by default
Built-in Data Lake, using IQ technology
Integrated, built-in data lake, provisioned with in-memory database
Elastically scale with HANA Cloud

Known data protection surrounds blocks – data privacy, anonymization, encryption, auditing

On top of HANA Cloud, can connect your own applications and also SAC / DWC

DWC runs on HANA Cloud

S/4HANA, C/4HANA, are in process to use HANA Cloud for their apps (not there yet)

Figure 10: 

Center of picture – fabric virtual table; gives you transparent access to remote sources and local datasets
Can toggle between remote and replica sets
Known network latency
Local access is faster – “smart toggling”
Start with remote virtual access; depend on performance can toggle to cached or replicated set

Replication between HANA system
Built in native real time remote table replication

Third party sources – use smart data integration connectivity

Store replica sets in memory, in disk store, or data lake

Different protocols for connectivity due to different customer infrastructures

Plan lightweight protocol to on premise this year

Figure 13: 

Provide in memory as primary persistence class; includes persistent memory
– some depend on infrastructure providers

Use NSE, Data Lake, can use them depending on SLA’s

Frequently changed data should reside in memory to meet SLA’s

On disk, have latency

NSE – less frequent use data
Data lake – rarely used storage options

Cost performance trade off

Future innovations – an intelligence to give you recommendations for which storage options; based on SAP machine learning libraries

Figure 14:

Known technology

NSE – add buffer cache, managing page in and page out of data
Data from disk that is needed is loaded to buffer cache

Benefits of NSE – memory footprint reduction

Figure 16: 

Start with first version
Goal – move away from a fixed system size; move to dynamic resource management; start with an initial size and grow with work load

Figure 17: 

2 dimensions, compute and storage

Lower left – scale up, scale down; one instance – can add/shrink
Add another compute (read only) node, scale out in compute direction, upper left – data set in cache, provides additional compute power

Storage – add more
Can scale with data lake or scale with nodes that can persist data

Start with lower left corner; next step (this year) to add or remove compute nodes; then come with scaling dimensions in 2021
