Get connected with Big Data and SAP HANA

Networked machine connectivity provides a level and volume of “Big Data” we never dreamed possible and it’s creating a shift towards predictive maintenance. Compared with routine or time-based preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance is more efficient. It minimizes disruption, reduces operating costs, improves product reliability and maximizes customer satisfaction. So, why then, are so many manufacturers still not exploiting it?

The problem is that, to harness the power of Big Data and get the fast “time to insight” predictive maintenance demands, you need the right technology. And not every manufacturer has that. Some think it’s out of their price range, others believe they’re not “big enough” for it, and some just presume they’ve not got the right skills to use it. Of course, they’re all wrong.

With SAP HANA in-memory computing and solutions for Big Data from SAP, any business, of any size, can access fast insight and run on predictive maintenance. The real-time data processing capabilities embedded in SAP HANA will help you speed up time-to-insight and insight-to-action cycles. So, not only can you detect potential maintenance issues earlier, you can also resolve them faster. That’s not all though.

Big Data provides incredibly rich insight that many businesses are still leaving untapped. For example, by looking at third-party data, you can determine the optimal maintenance strategy for a specific product or customer. Say a product is affected by temperature or moisture, your maintenance planning cycle can then incorporate weather reports. You can even tap into online customer reviews to better understand quality issues and timing. Or, what about defects? With data analysis, you can identify them and schedule in repairs before your end users even spot them.

You can do all of this, and so much more, at the speed of business. You’ll have all the relevant information together and ‘talking’ at the same time. So, there’s no need to live in the past and run operations on limited historical information and incomplete conclusions. You can operate more holistically, run more efficiently and make informed, connected predictions to drive your business forward.

• Worry-free SAP HANA - Let Approyo manage your entire SAP HANA environment in the cloud, backed by our SAP HANA certified environment and experts.

Approyo Presents: Demystifying SAP HANA in the Cloud

SAP HANA has some common myths throughout the technology world. SAP HANA cloud solutions changed the way SAP HANA is deployed and used.

SAP HANA is a relational database that runs in-memory for fast access, allowing business analysts to query large quantities of data without having to wait for the database to read and write data. This speed allows users to explore and analyze both analytical and transactional data from almost any data source.

SAP HANA Doesn’t Have to be Hard

Are you considering SAP HANA, but you’re not sure where to start?
SAP HANA is a relational database that runs in-memory for fast access, allowing business analysts to query large quantities of data without having to wait for the database to read and write data. This speed allows users to explore and analyze both analytical and transactional data from almost any data source.

However, users of SAP HANA face some common challenges:

1. Slow deployments can be costly
One common complaint with SAP HANA is that slow implementations can be costly. Rapid deployments can increase ROI. Most organizations can expect a cloud-based SAP HANA implementation in less than 30 days and in some cases, under a week.

Using SAP HANA in the cloud allows businesses to shift from a large upfront capital expense to a more manageable monthly operational expense. This reduces the infrastructure total cost of ownership an average of 28% or more within a three-year period.

2. Latency and speed issues
There are speed benefits to being closer to the HANA production lines. Close geographic proximity puts your data nanoseconds away from the SAP HANA cloud engine. This is what happens when your application exists in the same data center as the HANA cloud. This type of speed is possible when you have a physical data center infrastructure that allows you to incubate, test, and grow IT environments that have a nanosecond access to HANA cloud.

Faster access improves flexibility because it allows you to grow an SAP HANA database, add new apps, and expand your geographic footprint giving you the lowest cost, greater speed, and least disruption. Having HANA in the cloud allows the service provider to focus on delivering an SAP HANA solution so that your IT department doesn’t have to accommodate a new platform and manage yet another system.

3. Security concerns
While many data centers offer five levels of security, there are advantages to being in the same data center as the SAP HANA cloud. One of them is that you have the benefit of not touching any public IP addresses, and another is that you have a point-to-point cross connect directly to the HANA cloud. This eliminates information exchange over public networks and allows a more secure point-to-point connection.

4. It’s a complex implementation
It’s unfortunate that SAP HANA has a reputation of being very complex and hard to deploy, especially with an on premise solution. By moving an on premise solution to the cloud, it allows your service provider to take care of complex configurations for you. While some businesses may be hampered by a complex on premise solution, having the right provider will make it easy to get customizations up and running quickly and easily. This allows the service provider to manage and optimize your SAP HANA implementation, so that your IT department doesn’t have to.

Optimization is critical for any system. Businesses have learned that optimization is not a once and done process. It is an ongoing process that requires a business to revisit and optimize on an ongoing basis. By having a strategic partner that manages your SAP HANA service, they can continue to help you optimize as they have learned some of the latest and greatest best practices from the industry.

5. No current analytics solution
What if your company doesn’t have an analytics tool; can you still get the benefits from all of those legacy systems that have disparate data that need to be combined into one dataset? Using SAP HANA, you can handle these large loads of data from legacy systems and tie them all together. This will allow you to quickly analyze data to increase business effectiveness. This is one of the true business benefits of analytics.

Conclusion
SAP HANA doesn’t have to be hard. To be successful, you need a data center with flexible, scalable deployment that is close to the SAP HANA cloud. They will also need the available space and power to handle high-density equipment and still have interconnects to SAP HANA and other carriers.
Combining the right data center with an SAP HANA partner can give you access to the industry experts, speed, and security that your company needs to succeed.

Approyo Reaches Milestone with 50th SAP HANA Client Cloud Solution

Approyo, a leading SAP HANA Solutions Provider, announced the successful launch of the 50th SAP HANA client cloud solution. Approyo's 50th SAP HANA Cloud Solution was built for our customer, SearchYourCloud.

"The approach used by the Approyo team was exceptional,” said Simon Bain, CEO of SearchYourCloud. “Their guidance and support during the purchasing and setup stages were second to none, and since moving away from AWS and on to the Approyo servers, we have not just cut costs, but also increased access speeds and enabled ourselves to concentrate on the application stack and not have to worry about our servers, as we know the backups and network and hardware are in good hands."

"Approyo has been providing SAP HANA-based solutions to a wide range of customers that are expanding their business presence," said Marcus Retrac, President of Approyo. "This milestone represents our core belief that SAP HANA cloud solutions from Approyo are scalable for companies of any size, from small and mid-sized companies to enterprises."

Approyo has been providing SAP HANA in the cloud for the last three years. We believe SAP HANA is suitable for companies of all sizes. The entire platform is built using the best solutions in the market. This allows clients to benefit immediately from SAP HANA, without the massive upfront cost structure typically seen with those bare metal solutions.
