Consider for a moment what SAP HANA would be like if it were a light bulb? I don’t mean 25 megawatts of lighting for a small city, just a single 30 watt bulb. Two things should be immediately obvious. First, you could turn it on and off instantly. Need light? Turn it on. Don’t need it anymore? Turn it off and save electricity. Second, it would be very good for lighting a room, but too dim for lighting a football field at night. In this analogy, the 30 watt light bulb would be SAP HANA One – SAP HANA in the public cloud.
Like SAP HANA One, today’s modern light bulbs provide significant power in small wattage.

For more specifics about supported SAP HANA on premise hardware, see the SAP HANA Product Availability Matrix (S-user required). SAP HANA One runs on the AWS EC2 8XL system which allows for 30 to 32 gigabytes of compressed data. For more specifics about SAP HANA One, see the Frequently Asked Questions.
SAP HANA One is a great way to speed up sales cycles by getting your application into the customers’ hands quicker for evaluation and setup, even if productive use of your application requires the larger capabilities of an on premise system. If your application deals with smaller datasets or has requirements such as being primarily accessed by mobile devices, SAP HANA One allows you to provide a cloud deployment option for your application to your customers.
Find out how SAP HANA One can help you get started with a productive SAP HANA system in minutes in the cloud.
