SAP HANA managed services
SAP HANA managed services is the ongoing administration, performance management, and expert support of SAP HANA in-memory database environments. Solvaria provides SAP HANA managed services for enterprise organizations running HANA on-premises, in private cloud, and on SAP Business Technology Platform, delivered by senior DBAs with deep SAP HANA expertise who understand both the database platform and the enterprise applications it underpins.
When SAP HANA demands expertise that’s hard to sustain internally
SAP HANA is a specialized platform with a distinct architecture, in-memory column store, multi-model data processing, and tight integration with SAP S/4HANA and other SAP applications, which requires expertise beyond standard DBA skills. Memory management, delta merge operations, table partitioning, and backup strategy on HANA differ meaningfully from row-store relational databases. Organizations that staff HANA administration with generalist DBAs or rely on scarce, expensive SAP specialists frequently find themselves under-resourced at exactly the moments when expert judgment matters most.
Solvaria’s approach to SAP HANA management
Our SAP HANA DBAs manage HANA environments with platform-specific depth. We monitor memory consumption, column store health, and replication status continuously, applying HANA-specific tuning and maintenance practices that keep environments performing reliably under production SAP workloads. We work alongside your SAP Basis team or operate independently, adapting our engagement model to your organizational structure and support requirements.
Solvaria’s HANA management practice covers both the database layer and its interaction with SAP applications—ensuring that performance issues are diagnosed at the right layer, not assumed to be application problems when they are database problems, or vice versa.
Core capabilities
Memory management and monitoring
Monitor SAP HANA memory consumption continuously, analyze column store statistics and delta merge behavior, and tune memory allocation to prevent out-of-memory events under peak load.
Performance analysis and tuning
Use SAP HANA Studio, HANA Cockpit, and system views to analyze slow-running queries, expensive SQL statements, and bottlenecks in the HANA execution layer.
Backup and recovery management
Design and manage HANA backup strategies using HANA Studio and Backint integration with enterprise backup tools, with regular recovery testing to validate recoverability.
System replication management
Configure and monitor SAP HANA System Replication for high availability and disaster recovery, managing replication status and failover readiness.
Security and authorization
Audit HANA user accounts, role assignments, and privilege models, implement HANA auditing, and align configurations with SAP security guidelines and compliance requirements.
Patch and upgrade management
Manage SAP HANA Support Package Stack (SPS) and revision updates, coordinating testing and maintenance windows to maintain compatibility with SAP application layers.
Tenant database management
Administer SAP HANA Multitenant Database Containers (MDC) environments, managing tenant isolation, resource allocation, and cross-tenant operations.
Environments we support
Our SAP HANA DBAs manage environments on-premises on certified HANA hardware, on VMware and hypervisors, and on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, including SAP HANA Cloud on SAP Business Technology Platform. Our team supports single-container and multitenant MDC configurations, scale-up and scale-out deployments, and HANA environments integrated with SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW/4HANA. Every engagement is staffed by onshore, U.S.-based senior DBAs who understand both the HANA database layer and its interaction with the SAP applications it underpins.
