SAP HANA Vora is an in-memory query engine with Apache Spark

HANA Vora is query engine that essentially combines the performance of HANA with the scale of Hadoop

@raghu_nambiar what is the role Spark plays with Vora?

Vora is SAP's expansion of the HANA Data Platform for Big Data leveraging in-memory database technology

HANA is SAP's Big Data engine. VORA is the middleware that will make the connection to Hadoop seamless to SAP HANA

@RickSpeyer and @brianferrar let the explanation begin

VORA is how you enable Big-Data into integration into SAP HANA from velocity feeds of streaming data

Hadoop without Spark is like...

HANA Vora leverages Spark, and adds HANA-like semantics. Result: you can have a single unified data model across HANA and Hadoop.

@JimMcHugh > visions of early morning Anita Bryant just jumped into my head

Vora bridges the gap between "HANA=traditional" and "Hadoop=new and emerging" -- imagine the possibilities of the combination

We predicted: http://blogs.cisco.c...

Hadoop without Spark is like a traditional disk-based database compared to an in-memory database -- there's no comparison!

@JimMcHugh that should be a question on its own - reposting

A boat without the storage level

Brilliant question, just saying

A hard drive without storage

Is like Baseball without the Playoffs

the internet without indexes?

Rick Speyer without SAP

@20til6 SAPtd without Jim McHugh??

Good for EMC

I have many thoughts - I held a crowdchat which is loaded with good commentary www.crowdchat.net/De...

Good luck with that. Culture clash aside, two companies with very little in common in terms of the markets they play in. If Dell can pull this off, then we need him in Washington

Michael Dell said he won't "Muck up VMware" after buying EMC

I think that it will be an opportunity for both Cisco and SAP and IBM and Oracle big time

i think cisco has a stronger story with multiple converged stacks, more choice for customers

It's far far easier to execute the transition from an on-premise focus to the cloud if you can do it as a private company. Public companies making this transition have to be transparent to the market.

@lillest I spoke to Michael Dell yesterday for 30 mins on this topic - Vmware will be left alone and @pgelsinger must be jumping up and down in joy #freedom

#DellEMC will take 9 months to close and lots can happen in between that time and now

over/under on the number of products that go end of life?

I think they have every change of being successful - just like HP's acquisitions of Compaq and EDS.

oh wait....

What does @MichaelDell think? We'll ask him tomorrow on #theCUBE from #DellWorld

Great Question

important to understand that mode 1 IT solutions are facing pressures to lower cost implementations. big mergers and new technologies like cisco ACI will help!

If @MichaelDell ever headed to Washington, think it'd be a pretty easy path.

Can you explain Project Benjamin?

Cisco is the first company to create policy-driven automation for SAP HANA Vora. Customers can test drive their data today. Send request to aci-governance@cisco.com

Policy driven HANA/Vora solution scalable to Petabyte sizes

Project Benjamin is both a sophisticated reference architecture that uses policy-based automation to improve deployment, compliance, security and manageability. But even better, it's a PoC lab where customers can test drive their data!

Powered by ACI and Cisco UCS Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data: http://www.cisco.com...

Brian is it #devops or #ITSM?

Project Benjamin uses Cisco ACI & UCS, plus NetApp, plus Vnomic, to provide fully-automated deployment & governance of HANA, HANA Vora, BW & S/4HANA

The Project Benjamin cluster is big: 2880 cores, 33TB DRAM, up to 3 PB disk

Cisco has always been the leader in "policy driven" infrastructure hardware and software now more important than ever to move up the stack
