SAP HANA Data Management Suite (HDMS)

In this year's SAPPHIRE, SAP announced a platform of tools for governing and integrating data across multiple data (federated) environments. It is built on top of existing SAP products (components of HDMS) as below:

1. DB platform: SAP HANA: The HDMS leverages HANA platform which means all of its components runs on HANA with all benefits of the HANA like in memory computing, advance DB capabilities, different engines (spatial/graph processing, text analysis, search and mining, predictive/machine learning, streaming, series data storage and processing), etc.

2. Orchestration and governance: SAP Data Hub is used to centralize metadata management cross different systems. Main function of this component are:

- Data Pipelines – flow based applications consisting of reusable and configurable operations, e.g. ETL, Preparation, Code Execution, Connectors 

- Workflows – orchestrate processes across the data landscape, e.g. executing data pipelines, triggering SAP BW Process Chains, SAP Data Services Jobs and many more.

- Governance – metadata repository of information stored in the connected landscape. Offering discovery, profiling and search capabilities.

3. Multi-modal modeling: SAP Enterprise Architecture Designer (EA Designer or EAD) is used as component of the HDMS to model systems in landscape and processes around it. Is it to use for conceptual, logical, and physical modeling of SAP and non-SAP data.

4. Cloud services: SAP Cloud Platform Big Data Services component is used to deliver full-service big data cloud based on Hadoop and Spark.
