Difference between SAP NetWeaver BW Powered by SAP HANA and SAP BW Accelerator?
SAP BW Accelerator (SAP BWA) was the first step in bringing the innovation of in-memory to data warehousing. A portion of SAP NetWeaver BW data was replicated to a separate ‘accelerator’ server in order to improve query performance in SAP NetWeaver BW.
In contrast, SAP NetWeaver BW Powered by SAP HANA actually runs the entire BW application on the SAP HANA database, which improves data load and calculation performance in addition to query performance.
