Why Choose SAP HANA Cloud?
We’ve seen a number of exciting use cases since SAP HANA Cloud was made generally available earlier this year. For some companies, this is a powerful engine to drive innovative data-driven applications. For others, SAP HANA Cloud is the central solution enabling a hybrid data strategy. Meanwhile, others deploy this solution as the central database to reliably and affordably store all types of data for analytical purposes. Those are just some of the use cases made possible by SAP HANA Cloud.
Now, we can’t wait to put the power of SAP HANA Cloud in your hands. SAP HANA Cloud delivers the powerful performance that made SAP HANA the in-memory database of choice – but now built natively for the cloud. This solution can act as a central data hub for your on-premise and cloud data.
Some of these new capabilities include:
- Access data when and where you need with total control of the costs
- High processing performance through the power of SAP HANA: Multi-model, hybrid transaction, and analytics processing in real-time
- Flexible deployment for business agility supporting hybrid deployment and a single cloud solution
- Low-cost storage on the petabyte scale through the integrated data lake offering

For starters, you’ll be able to offer integrated solutions to a fast-growing customer base and demonstrate this competitive advantage by a certification.

From a technical standpoint, you gain faster implementations and deployments in SAP solution-based landscapes.
There are also the marketing benefits of becoming certified. You’ll be able to use the “SAP Certified” logo in your materials.
