What is S/4HANA Database Technology? How is it Different from SAP ECC?Īs you already understood, S/4HANA uses the HANA database for storing and managing all data. The primary function of HANA is to work as a database server that stores and retrieves business data for SAP S/4HANA. This database architecture requires best-in-class hardware with a significant volume of RAM but also offers much higher performance compared to other RDMS.

It is different from the traditional relational database management systems (RDMS) because of its in-memory and column-oriented architecture. We now know what ‘S/4’ means in S/4HANA but what about ‘HANA’? HANA is the name of the database that was developed by SAP.
