With the SAP HANA TDI (Tailored Datacenter Integration) approach, users can deploy a SAP HANA database across existing datacentre infrastructures. This way, they can control every stage of its setup and maintenance. It offers more flexibility than the legacy ‘appliance’ approach, where SAP HANA is delivered as a pre-configured solution with dedicated hardware. To facilitate integration, TDI also enables users to leverage current hardware. This reduces the cost and complexity of deploying SAP HANA as a result.
