With so many product announcements with the word HANA in themtheCUBEfrom the SiliconANGLE Media teamasked Dan LahlVP of Product Marketing at SAPto stop by and break it all down. HANA buzzwords Joining theCUBE cohosts John Furrier (@furrier) and Peter Burris (@plburris)Lahl said“We’ve been very confusing to the market on how we branded the two different HANA products.” Database management Explaining to the hosts that the HANA database data management platform was released in 2011 and is similar to Oracle from a SQL interface standpointyet very different from a technology standpoint. Managed platform Lahl went on to unravel the product further. “Then we have another initiative called S/4HANA that’s taking all of the applicationsputting them onto the HANA data management platformso that’s the apps stack” he clarified. “So Business Suite is now S/4HANA.” Two different clouds Differentiating between the HANA Enterprise Cloud and the HANA Cloud Platformhe noted“The HANA Enterprise Cloud [is] basically a managed serviceyou want to take your SAP landscapegive it to our data centerand let us manage it for you and let us handle upgrades enhancement packs.” This can be done with SAP or certified vendor products. The HANA Cloud Platform is a whole different animal. According to Lahlit is an open Platform as a Service (PaaS) so any of SAP applications can be further enhanced. “Any applications for HANA are shipping today — Business SuiteSuccessFactorsS/4HANAAribaConcurCloud for Customer — you name itcan be extended or integrated using the HANA Cloud Platform. Developer options In response to Furrier’s question about what’s in it for the developerLahl’s response was: “All java-basedand it’s open systems baby!” He spelled out how all of the tools used by an open systems developer can nowthrough HANA Cloud Platformget to the back-end systems that were not exposed before. SAP is exposing the back end and dataas well as the processes. Additionallythis week SAP announced the API Business Hub to deliver a catalog of APIs where the company will publish into an open system developer to use. Partnerships to move the enterprise to mobile Lahl said that the bulk of devices in the enterpriseabout 75 percentare Apple devices. Through the company’s partnership with Applethere will be an ACP software development kit for SDK for use with SAP products. “Now developers can get into all those processes without having to know the back-end process. Through the SDKwe’re going to expose all of those” he said. Another announcementIBM is taking all of its mobile-first for iOS applications and participating in the SDK by moving all of its applications to the HANA Cloud Platform. Word on the street is enterprise is hot Highlighting all the success SAP is findingFurrier asked Lahl if it’s time to “throttle it up” and take advantage of the enterprise market demand. “I actually see it as the wave is forming. I don’t think our customer base knows that much about HANA Cloud Platform” he statedpointing out that as with any organization the size of SAPthere are issues with pushing the product management and engineering teams to get to full capacity. He also wants to work with the sales team to help them introduce the platform into every single customer account as the “agility platform.”
