Hi,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/Developers+Scenarios+using+SAP+HANA+Cloud
cloud platform as a service (PaaS) offering includes HANA DB-as-a-service in conjunction with a choice of either a Java-based or ABAP-based stack. Applications built for either stack will have access to HANA DB through a variety of APIs.
HANA Cloud Platform announcement gives SAP customers yet another signal of the vendor's long-term commitment to HANA. The product became generally available in 2011, primarily targeted at analytic workloads, but since has gained the ability to run transactional applications.
SAP built up a portfolio of cloud-based software through the acquisition of SuccessFactors and Ariba, and has also developed some such applications on its own. A number of the latter have been renamed, with the former Financials OnDemand becoming Cloud for Financials and Travel OnDemand now titled Cloud for Travel, according to the announcement on Tuesday.
All of those applications will apparently be ported to the HANA Cloud Platform over time and SAP also plans to integrate its Jam social collaboration software with those products, according to the announcement.
Ariba's Spend Analytics component is now running on HANA, with other products scheduled to get the same treatment "in the coming months," SAP said. No other delivery dates were provided.
SAP has called HANA the fastest-growing product in its history and positioned the platform as a symbol of its reinvention from a monolithic ERP (enterprise resource planning) vendor to a more nimble entity in touch with modern computing trends.
