This post is part of a 3-part series about HCP Persistence Service ASE.

Part2 is about connecting to ASE on HCP using Eclipse, and

Part3 details the usage of ASE on HCP with Java Apps and JPA.

 

Introduction:



One of the most important capabilities of SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP); as an open, enterprise class Platform-as-a-Service offering from SAP, is to provide persistence on the cloud for data storage purposes. This concept is referred to as DbaaS or Database-as-a-Service.



Most of the times, the power of HCP as a platform is attributed to the underlying unique, in-memory database SAP HANA and its impressive set of features, which is mostly true. But HCP persistence is not just about HANA!. What if my use case just needs me to build a transaction-only application? Can I still build a high-performance app on the HANA Cloud Platform without HANA as my persistence?



YES! Enter SAP ASE!!



SAP HANA Cloud Platform also provides a Persistence Service with SAP ASE or ASE DbaaS to build high-performance, mission-critical transactional applications.






What is SAP ASE?



SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), formerly known as Sybase SQL Server, is a relational database management system for businesses developed by SAP. With ASE, you can drive faster, reliable transaction processing, at the same time reduce your IT costs and lower the TCO. It is designed for high-performance transaction-based applications involving massive volumes of data and thousands of concurrent users.
