Real-time analytics with IBM DB2 and the SAP In-Memory Appliance
DB2 integration with SAP HANA makes rapid business insight possible
To gain insight and competitive advantage in today’s lightning-fast markets, businesses need rapid responses to analytic queries more than ever. To meet this need, SAP created the SAP In-Memory Appliance (SAP HANA™) software, which enables organizations to quickly analyze business operations based on large volumes of detailed information. But to maximize the benefits of SAP HANA, data must be replicated from operational and transactional sources into SAP HANA quickly and efficiently.That’s why IBM® DB2® is the essential RDBMS for SAP Business Suite software environments. DB2 works directly with SAP HANA to support automatic, real-time replication. With DB2 and SAP HANA, organizations can significantly extend the value of their SAP technology investment and deliver results to business-critical analytical queries in seconds.
