SAP BW Near-Line Storage Solution (NLS) based on SAP IQ

Introduction


Improve decision-making capabilities by bringing unprecedented performance to SAP  Business Warehouse with SAP HANA for current data and SAP Sybase IQ for historical data— achieving the perfect balance of cost and performance. The adapter for Sybase IQ as a near-line solution is delivered with the BW system. Integration of Sybase IQ makes it possible for you to separate data that you access frequently from data that you access rarely, thus making less demand on the resources in the BW system. The near-line data is stored in compressed form. You can thus reduce the costs incurred by data that is accessed less frequently. Please note that the SAP-NLS Solution can be used with all supported database versions supported by SAP BW 7.3x.
