Data Crunchers Now the Cool Kids on Campus

<p>SAP started with Business Warehouse on HANA, to make their reporting faster. Now
they have ERP and CRM on HANA, to make the transactional system faster, and
eliminate need (and cost) for separate relational database. That would be huge if it
catches on. </p>

<br>

<p>So HANA is in-memory and not column-store but they have the column-store table type?</p>

<br>

<p>For example, pharmaceutical drugs can be tested in weeks, using math simulations,
rather than months using clinical trials… </p>

<br>

<p>Do you have a paper on this? I’m pretty curious to see what kinds of math simulations can replicate clinical trials. Do the math simulations include genomic analysis?</p>
