In other words, SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 05 is not Pandora’s box.


However, for the latest and greatest we can now also consider SAP HANA Cloud, database-as-a-service, which has been architected to complement SAP HANA platform on-premises and not to replace it: a single gateway to all your data. Of course, when we zoom in we find interesting functionality added to features like SAP HANA Spatial and SAP HANA Graph. Another example is the availability of the built-in data tiering feature native storage extensions (NSE) on multiple host systems (scale out). Capabilities introduced earlier are now marked ready for production like the local secure store (LSS) for master and encryption root keys with key store management (KMS) integration. We already addressed the new features and highlights of the SPS 05 release in a previous blog but to summarise (leaving out the updates to the SAP HANA 2.0 cockpit administration tool), we can say that SPS 05 mainly provides enhancements to existing features. The good news is that the SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 05 release, just like SAP HANA 1.0 SPS 12 in the past, is supported for 5 years until end of June 2025.
