Nongfu slashes processing times with in-memory technology
Nongfu slashes processing times with in-memory technology
Nongfu Spring (Nongfu) is the largest producer of bottled water and fruit beverages in China and is the largest subsidiary of Yangshengtang, which has total assets of about CNY10 billion.The company was founded in 1996 and is based in Hangzhou, China, with extensive production and supply chain operations as well as significant retail presence.
The CIO of Nongfu, Patrick Hoo, is seen as a technology thought leader with an eye on pushing the technology envelope when seeking new ways to support the business. He saw an opportunity when asked to explore the applicability of SAP's emerging in-memory database technology, SAP High-Performance Analytic Appliance or HANA.
He realized there was a critical need to create real-time visibility into operational data in order to grow the company, improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Simon Dale, head of technology and innovation, SAP, described Nongfu is like many SAP customers, has used the ERP platform for some time. The company is very supply chain oriented as it has a large distribution network to manage as well as a lot of customer data and supply chain data which requires the application of complex data analysis.
I/O bottleneck
Complex information from its retail dealings and vast supply chain operations mean that use of business analytics and business intelligence is widespread in the company.
The concept of SAP HANA is based around the simple idea of removing the input/output (I/O) bottleneck that typically occurs when processing data from hard disks of servers and storage, then passing the data through the database server before being able to generate the analysis required.
SAP's HANA technology simply processes all the data through the database within the memory of the server, rather than require any processing to be done on the disk or in the database. The promise is drastic reductions in processing times even for highly complex data analysis.
