Which application type focuses on innovations with SAP HANA technology?

The focus on innovations with SAP HANA technology is characterized by the Native or New SAP HANA application type. These applications are designed specifically to leverage the unique capabilities of SAP HANA, such as in-memory computing, real-time data processing, and advanced analytical capabilities. This allows developers to create applications that can handle complex data models and provide insights at unprecedented speeds, which are central to leveraging the full potential of SAP HANA.

Native applications do not rely on pre-existing frameworks or tools that characterize older systems; they are built from the ground up to make the most of the HANA platform. This means they are optimized for performance and scalability, tapping into the advanced features of the database system that traditional or legacy applications cannot access.

Other types of applications may utilize aspects of HANA or integrate with it, but they do not focus primarily on exploiting its innovative architecture and functionalities in the way that Native or New SAP HANA applications do. For instance, legacy applications are typically outdated systems that don’t take full advantage of modern technology. Data Mart applications focus on a specific data subset rather than the full breadth of capabilities offered by SAP HANA. Server-based applications may utilize cloud or server resources but do not specifically harness the unique innovations of the HANA technology
