What’s new in SAP HANA 2.0... !!!

Database Enhancements

High availability and disaster recovery

Load balance read-intensive operations between a primary and secondary instance instance of SAP HANA with the active / active-read enabled mode and cut downtime with automated orchestration for HA/DR processes. You can also streamline back-ups and recovery processes with one output for third-party solutions and enhanced multi-tenant capabilities.

Administration

Simplify data management with consolidated admin tools for your entire IT landscape. Streamline workload management with automatic system overload and run-away query prevention. Plus, compare multiple test-runs and fine-tune upgrade configurations with enhanced workload analysis and capture and replay functions

Security

Maintain regulatory compliance and protect your information with encryption for data-at-rest, as well as on-the-fly data masking based on viewers’ credentials. And leverage new support for LDAP groups to simplify user authorization and credentials management.  

Multi-tier storage and scale-out configurations

Achieve optimal performance while lowering costs by partitioning large data table across storage tiers. Plus benefit from automatic data movements across storage tiers and pruning of unneeded partitions for optimal usage of system resources and effective query processing

Advanced Analytical Processing Enhancements

Search

Find  information faster with improved filtering for multi-format data types (e.g. dates), dynamically configured rules that support system-specific parameters, and “batch mode” rules that remove duplicates in data sets

Graph data processing

Analyze your graph data more efficiently and achieve results faster. New graph data processing capabilities in SAP HANA 2.0 include support for vibrant visualizations and the popular Cypher query language

Text analytics

Improve outcomes with enhanced text analysis for all languages with space-separated words. Plus easily embed text analysis into your applications with native SQL interfaces and manage domain-specific custom dictionaries.

Predictive analytics and machine learning

Improve prediction accuracy with more pre-packaged algorithms and enhanced metadata to simplify their consumption. Run scoring functions faster with parallel processing across large-scale partitioned data. 

Application Development and Tools Enhancements

Application server

Choose from more development and deployment methods – on premise, in the cloud, collocated with SAP HANA, or on separate servers. Support multiple languages / runtimes, token-based authentication, JAVA / JavaScript tracing, REST APIs, web-based application monitoring, and native multi-tenancy application development. 

Tools, languages, and APIs

Accelerate application development with enhanced modeling for calculation views, core data services, and spatial and graph objects. Easily process, load, and move documents from within applications using APIs. And streamline your code with advanced SQL syntax, new MDX tools, and troubleshooting for advanced SQL syntax. 

Data Integration and Quality Enhancements

Data integration

Simplify and accelerate data movements with parallel data loads, automatic recovery, and data integration with SAP ABAP-based systems (via BAPIs that support virtual procedures). Gain access to more data sources with added support for Microsoft Access and SharePoint. 

Data quality and data federation

Improve the accuracy of location-based data by taking advantage of a new address suggestion capability in SAP HANA 2.0. You can also leverage remote metadata synchronization to enhance the accuracy of remote data schema copies.
