SAP HANA Cloud Modeling

Figure 60: Pushing down Data Processing to Database

Traditional databases provided storage capabilities and offered limited (if any) data
processing capabilities. This means that applications would read raw data from the database
and, using application code such as ABAP or JAVA, develop complex data processing code to
run on the application server.
SAP HANA Cloud database provides sophisticated, multitier data storage and, also, advanced
data processing capabilities so that instead of an application requesting raw data from the
database, it can request information. Data processing is now pushed down from the
application layer to the in-memory database of SAP HANA Cloud. This means, not only is data
processing faster, applications are leaner as they do not have to handle data processing logic.
Leaner applications means more agility.
