SAP HANA smart data streaming (SDS) is HANA’s high speed real-time streaming analytics engine. It lets you easily build and deploy streaming data models (a.k.a. projects) that process and analyze incoming messages as fast as they arrive, allowing you to react in real-time to what’s going on. Use it to generate alerts or initiate an immediate response. With the Internet of Things (IoT), common uses include analyzing incoming sensor data from smart devices – particularly when there is a need to react in real-time to a new opportunity – or in anticipation of a problem.
