Keynote speaker and friend of Bramasol, Hasso Plattner, spoke all about taking on the myths that have been circulating on HANA and the cloud, one by one. 

Some of these included:

• It is not possible to do virtualization with HANA
• HANA uses propriety hardware
• HANA does not support multi-tenancy
• Adopting HANA is disruptive to business
• HANA is only for SAP applications
• HANA uses an old concept of columnar store

And more...

Plattner answered key questions on the cloud and HANA with facts and data to support his answers. No surprise, because Dr. Hasso Plattner is passionate about teaching innovation and we admire his transparency. He emphasized HANA is a platform- not just a database.

Simply put HANA can run anything.

Plattner was a funny, engaging speaker and just one of the many knowledgeable experts featured at this year's event.
