Which deployment scenario can accelerate reporting from an old SAP R/3 system?

Choosing SAP HANA as a side-by-side accelerator is an effective method for enhancing the reporting capabilities of an older SAP R/3 system. In this deployment scenario, SAP HANA operates as an additional layer that interfaces with the existing SAP R/3 environment. By offloading reporting and analytical tasks to HANA, organizations can take advantage of its in-memory computing capabilities, which significantly speed up data processing and enable real-time analytics.

This approach allows businesses to maintain their existing SAP R/3 infrastructure while improving performance without the need for a complete system overhaul. It essentially provides a more efficient way to handle reporting requirements that an aging R/3 system may struggle with, allowing for faster report generation and more responsive data queries.

Other options, while potentially beneficial in different contexts, do not specifically target the necessity of accelerating reporting on an older SAP system with the same focus and effectiveness as the side-by-side accelerator scenario. SAP HANA as a platform and as a database would imply a more integrated solution, which may not be feasible or practical for every organization currently relying on an R/3 setup. Similarly, SAP HANA Multitenant Database Containers (MDC) primarily addresses multi-tenant database management and isn't oriented toward enhancing reporting capabilities directly from an existing
