Overview

Product Information on SAP HANA Cloud

Updated 13th October 2025

What is SAP HANA Cloud?

SAP HANA Cloud is a software platform designed to provide in-memory database management and advanced analytics capabilities in the cloud. The software enables real-time data processing and storage, allowing organizations to manage both transactional and analytical workloads on a single system. It supports integration with various data sources, facilitates data virtualization, and offers multi-model data processing for structured and unstructured data. SAP HANA Cloud is used to address business challenges such as data fragmentation, slow analytics, and complex data landscapes by centralizing data access and delivering performance for mission-critical applications. The software includes features for security, scalability, and data governance to help organizations meet compliance and operational requirements.

SAP HANA Cloud Pricing

SAP HANA Cloud software follows a consumption-based pricing model in which users pay for resources such as storage, compute capacity, and data transfers based on actual usage. The software allows customers to select configuration options and adjust resources as needed, with fees calculated according to the selected instance size and usage metrics. The pricing structure supports both subscription and pay-as-you-go options depending on customer requirements.

“Experiencing the Power and Limitations of SAP's Multi Modal Database”

3.0
Dec 11, 2024
Cloud database that can be leveraged for building any application on the cloud - you can process, store, analyze various kind of data like relational data, graph data, vector data. Can connect to any data store with SAP provided integration mechanisms Provides relevant security mechanisms, although some gaps need further improvement. We leveraged it to store data as an intermediate database for SAC implementation. Data was pulled from S4 HANA into HANA Cloud, processed and then sent to SAC. Overall good experience although with some limitations. Integration needs more improvement as some limitations. AI/ML models provided OOB are quite limited and need improvements
