With the explosion of big data, enterprises face the challenge of combining traditional enterprise data with massive volumes of semi-structured and unstructured data from sources like IoT, social media, and sensors. SAP Vora (now integrated into SAP Data Intelligence) addresses this challenge by extending the power of Apache Spark and Hadoop with enterprise-grade capabilities tailored for SAP landscapes.
This article explores Vora's architecture, detailing its key components and integrations that enable scalable, in-memory distributed computing for complex enterprise analytics.
SAP Vora is a distributed computing engine designed to run on top of Apache Spark. It brings in-memory processing, hierarchical data modeling, and SQL-based interaction to big data environments, enabling enterprises to derive insights from Hadoop and other distributed data stores alongside SAP data.
Vora is particularly valuable for:
SAP Vora's architecture is modular and built to operate in a distributed environment. It integrates closely with the Hadoop ecosystem while maintaining compatibility with enterprise data platforms.
Data Access Layer
Interfaces with various data sources, including:
Vora Engine Layer
The core of the Vora platform, composed of several specialized engines:
Vora Tools & Interfaces
Provides tools and user interfaces for managing and querying data:
Cluster Management and Integration
Vora operates in Kubernetes or YARN-managed clusters and integrates with:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| SAP Vora Engine | Core execution environment that handles distributed processing |
| Hierarchy Engine | Natively understands and processes SAP hierarchical data |
| SQL and Graph Engines | Support advanced analytics via familiar query languages |
| Vora Modeler | Enables data preparation, enrichment, and modeling visually |
| Vora Manager | Admin interface to monitor cluster status and manage resources |
| Data Lake Integration | Connects to S3, HDFS, and other large-scale storage systems |
SAP Vora thrives in hybrid data environments by integrating seamlessly with both SAP and open-source technologies.
SAP Vora's architecture bridges the gap between traditional enterprise data systems and modern big data platforms. Its modular, extensible design and tight integration with both SAP and open-source ecosystems make it an essential component of a future-ready data strategy.
By leveraging Vora, enterprises can achieve real-time, scalable, and intelligent analytics, bringing together the structured world of SAP and the unstructured universe of big data.
