HANA Migration Paths

Multiple migration approaches — SAVIC selects the right path based on your current landscape, goals, and downtime constraints.

Any DB → SAP HANA

Migrate from Oracle, DB2, MS SQL Server, MaxDB, or Sybase ASE to SAP HANA in a controlled, validated process.

  • Source DB analysis
  • Schema conversion
  • Data validation
  • Performance benchmarking

Database Migration Option (DMO)

Combine OS/DB migration with SAP system upgrade in a single downtime window using SAP SUM-DMO tool.

  • Single downtime window
  • Combined migration + upgrade
  • Reduced total effort
  • SAP-standard tooling

System Copy to HANA

Homogeneous or heterogeneous system copy with target SAP HANA database. Ideal for system refreshes and landscape builds.

  • Homogeneous system copy
  • Heterogeneous copy
  • Landscape setup
  • QA/DEV/PRD copies

SAP HANA Scale-Out

Configure SAP HANA in scale-out (distributed) mode for very large databases exceeding single-node capacity.

  • Scale-out design
  • Node configuration
  • Data distribution
  • High availability setup

HANA Cloud Migration

Migrate on-premise SAP HANA databases to SAP HANA Cloud or cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP).

  • Cloud sizing & design
  • Data transfer
  • Network optimization
  • Cloud HANA config

HANA HA & DR Setup

Configure HANA System Replication (HSR) for high availability and set up disaster recovery replication to a secondary site.

  • HANA System Replication
  • Automatic failover
  • DR replication
  • RTO/RPO validation

Why Migrate to SAP HANA?

SAP HANA's in-memory architecture transforms how your business processes and analyses data.

10x Faster Analytics

In-memory columnar storage enables real-time analytics on massive datasets without separate data warehouses.

Simplified Data Landscape

Eliminate separate OLAP layers — HANA handles both transactional and analytical workloads in one platform.

Real-Time Business Insights

Live reporting on operational data means no more batch processing delays for management decisions.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Data encryption at rest and in transit, row-level security, dynamic masking, and audit logging.

Reduced Month-End Close

Organizations report 50–70% reduction in financial closing cycles after migrating to SAP HANA.

AI & ML Ready

SAP HANA's built-in machine learning libraries enable predictive analytics directly in the database layer.

SAVIC HANA Migration Process

A proven 6-phase approach ensuring zero data loss and minimum downtime in every HANA migration.

01

Assessment & Sizing

Analyse source database size, table profiles, custom code, and recommend HANA hardware sizing and migration approach.

02

Landscape Build

Provision HANA hardware/cloud infrastructure, install and configure SAP HANA, and set up backup/HA.

03

Pre-Migration Prep

Apply pre-requisite SAP notes, run pre-migration checks, resolve blocking issues, and prepare migration tools.

04

Migration Execution

Execute database migration using SAP SUM-DMO or system copy method with full logging and validation.

05

Post-Migration Validation

Data integrity checks, performance validation, application testing, and HANA-specific optimization tuning.

06

Go-Live & Monitoring

Production go-live, 24x7 monitoring in hypercare period, and transition to steady-state operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What databases can be migrated to SAP HANA?
SAVIC supports migration from all SAP-certified source databases including Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, MaxDB, Sybase ASE, and Informix to SAP HANA.
What is Database Migration Option (DMO)?
DMO is an SAP-provided tool (part of SUM) that migrates the database and performs an SAP application upgrade in a single maintenance window. This is ideal when a version upgrade is also planned.
How much downtime is required for HANA migration?
Downtime depends on database size and migration method. For databases under 1 TB, 4–8 hours is typical. Larger databases may require longer windows. Near-zero downtime options using parallel export/import and table pre-migration are available.
Do I need new hardware for SAP HANA?
SAP HANA requires TDI (Tailored Datacenter Integration) certified hardware. SAVIC assists with hardware selection and sizing. Cloud options on AWS, Azure, and GCP eliminate on-premise hardware procurement.
What is SAP HANA System Replication (HSR)?
HSR is SAP HANA's built-in replication technology that synchronously or asynchronously replicates data to a secondary HANA node for high availability and disaster recovery purposes.
