Deploy SAP HANA One -- By the Hour

[Former Member]

The big news for developers at SAP TechEd Las Vegas was the announcement of SAP HANA One. SCN moderator juergen.schmerderexplains the program: “You can now create your own HANA One developer environment on Amazon Web Services (AWS).”

At Amazon, AWS evangelist Jeff Barr describes the advantages of this SAP HANA deployment option, “You don't have to spend a lot of money. You don't need to buy and install high-end hardware in your data center and you don't need to license HANA. Instead, you can launch HANA from the AWS Marketplace and pay for the hardware and the software on an hourly, pay-as-you-go basis ... Because you can now launch HANA in the cloud, you don't need to spend time negotiating an enterprise agreement, and you don't have to buy a big server"

Of course, there are other ways to deploy SAP HANA including options to deploy on-premise or in a private cloud. michael.bechauf explains flexibility of different SAP HANA deployment models. “The times of big monolithic pieces of software are definitely over at SAP,” he remarks.

While SAP Mentors work on ways to optimize the ABAP stack for HANA, the SAP HANA One Headquarters offers a $25 Amazon AWS credit to community members. “There is indeed a huge Absence of Nifty ABAPers around,” laments dj.adams, “they're all in-memory now :-)”
