Some of the main capabilities are listed below.
Data modeling and analytics
With graphical modeling, you can take advantage of analytical processing engines and define advanced slices of data available in an SAP HANA database. You’ll be able to combine attributes and measures in transactional and analytical data to create information views. Create calculation views with advanced analytics capabilities such as geospatial, graph and anonymization, and visualize them using a variety of reporting tools.
Bring your own language and microservices
SAP HANA XS Advanced Applications is an on-premise development platform based on SAP Cloud Foundry. It allows you to develop cloud-native applications using a micro-services approach. Java, Node.js and Python are the officially supported languages. You can configure the available SAP Cloud Foundry build packs to bring your own language.
Machine learning
With SAP HANA, you can build intelligent business apps that can augment and automate repetitive tasks, optimize operations, and can be easily consumed across your organization.
Geospatial
Store, process and visualize geodata with SAP HANA. In addition, you can integrate geodata with other structured and unstructured data.
Text analytics
With the SAP HANA platform, you can gain real insights from your unstructured textual data. The platform provides search, text analysis, and text mining functionality for unstructured text sources.
Predictive analytics
Embed predictive scenarios into your apps. With SAP HANA, you can choose from over 20 different algorithms, including association analysis, clustering for grouping, and classification. The classification categories include: regression, time series for forecasting, detection of outliers, and data preparation.
SAP HANA streaming analytics
Streaming analytics adds high-performance event stream processing and complex event processing (CEP) to the SAP HANA platform. This makes it easy for you to incorporate smart-stream capture and active event monitoring. Real-time streaming analytics also enables you to create IoT applications.
Hibernate
Leverage SAP HANA in-memory speed and multimodal analytics easily via Hibernate ORM (relational) and Hibernate OGM (NoSQL). Capabilities include support for advanced multimodal data processing, such as text and spatial via Hibernate dialects; abstraction layer for key/value, document store and Graph; and XML mapping.
