Innovation and fusion with HW and SW Advantage of HANA
All data is in main memory to avoid bottle neck. Thus HANA run extremely fast.
Load data fast by Partitioning and parallel query.
Fast response due to the efficiency of analysis by data compression and column store.
Table Join is no longer needed thus we can reduce development efforts.
Automated DB replication realize reduction development and maintenance effort.

SQL Server Appliance
▌System bottleneck from
performance gap between in-box
memory / storage and external
disks Performance tuning is getting more
complicated, needs a lot of external
storage and Host Bus Adapters to
provide enough IO bandwidth for a
high-performance DWH/BI system
▌Balanced CPU-IO configuration
restricted by the latest QPI
architecture-based processors The architecture requires extra CPU
sockets, even if customer just wants
to have more IO slots (or memory).
The extra CPU sockets contribute to
increased power consumption and
system cost
