Are you an R developers? Have ever heard of SAP HANA? Would you like to test SAP HANA for free?
SAP HANA is an In-Memory Database Technology allowing developers to analyze big data in real-time.
Processes that took hours now take seconds due to SAP HANA’s power to keep everything on RAM memory.
As announced in SAP Sapphire Now event in Orlando, Florida, SAP HANA is free for developers. You just need to download and install both the SAP HANA Client and the SAP HANA Studio, and create an SAP HANA Server on the Amazon Web Services as described in the following document:
