<strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> greatly extends the traditional database server role. <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> functions as a comprehensive<br />

platform for the development and execution of native data-intensive applications that run efficiently in <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong>,<br />

taking advantage of its in-memory architecture and parallel execution capabilities.<br />

By restructuring your application in this way, not only do you gain from the increased performance due to the<br />

integration with the data source, you can effectively eliminate the overhead of the middle-tier between the userinterface<br />

(the view) and the data-intensive control logic, as shown in the following figure.<br />

In support of this data-integrated application paradigm, <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> Extended Application Services provides a<br />

comprehensive set of embedded services that provide end-to-end support for Web-based applications. This<br />

includes a lightweight web server, configurable OData support, server-side JS execution and, of course, full<br />

access to SQL and SQLScript.<br />

These <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> Extended Application Services are provided by the <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> XS server, which provides<br />

lightweight application services that are fully integrated into <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong>. It allows clients to access the <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong><br />

system via HTTP. Controller applications can run completely natively on <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong>, without the need for an<br />

additional external application server.The following shows the <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong> XS server as part of the <strong>SAP</strong> <strong>HANA</strong><br />

system.<br />
