LAS VEGAS, Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today announced SAP HANA®, express edition, a streamlined,
downloadable version of its in-memory platform optimized for fast
and continuous development of data-driven applications. This latest
release provides developers with ubiquitous access to the SAP HANA
platform to build applications free of charge on a laptop or
desktop, or in the cloud. The announcement was made at the SAP®
TechEd conference, being held September 19–23 in Las Vegas.
SAP HANA, express edition, supports the rising demand for
developers with SAP HANA experience — identified as one of the
top-paying skills in a recent 2016 Dice Salary Survey. SAP now
delivers a downloadable version of SAP HANA along with tutorials,
sample code and a vibrant SAP developer community to help
developers get up to speed quickly with flexible deployment
environments.
"With this new starter SAP HANA, express edition, we have been
able to jump-start our development immediately, using our existing
personal computers," said Jean
Safar, chief architect, Calypso Technology Inc. "With the
preconfigured virtual machine option, it has been really simple to
get hands-on experience with in-memory technology and develop our
initial version on sample risk-related data sets. Additionally, the
availability of flexible upgrade options to full-use editions will
help us further experiment and leverage SAP HANA to support our
future technology innovation plans."
Access SAP HANA for Free and Scale Up as Needed
SAP
HANA, express edition, allows users to get started for free with a
streamlined yet powerful selection of in-memory platform features
running in the cloud, on a personal computer or on a commodity
server. Developers can easily access the free version to learn
firsthand how to use SAP HANA and its powerful application
development environment. Developers can use the express edition to
develop, test and deploy production applications that use up to 32
GB of memory for free, or upgrade for a fee for more memory.
"SAP HANA, express edition, allows many developers to experience
the power of in-memory-based applications for the first time," said
Cindy Jutras, president, Mint
Jutras. "The new easy-to-consume model via the cloud or PC and free
entry point make a very attractive offering from SAP. Now companies
such as small-to-medium-size enterprises have access to a data
management and app development platform that has traditionally been
used by large enterprises."
Build Next-Generation, Data-Driven Applications
Fast
SAP HANA, express edition, delivers database,
application and advanced analytics services in a single platform.
Developers can build applications that use SAP HANA to perform
transactional and analytical processing against a single copy of
data for real-time insights from structured and unstructured data
types, such as text, spatial and graphical data.
"Today's fast-paced digital economy requires businesses to be
extremely agile, with the ability to gain unlimited knowledge from
any data type and data source located inside or outside the
company," said Irfan Khan, GM and
global head, database and data management, SAP. "SAP HANA, express
edition, is easy to download and free of charge so developers can
quickly start building powerful, modern applications using their
programming language of choice rather than managing complex IT
frameworks and infrastructures."

SAP HANA, express edition, can be downloaded from
the SAP developer center and installed on commodity servers,
desktops or laptops using a binary installation package with
support for either SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. Alternately, the express edition can be installed
