Case Study: Denner achieves lower IT infrastructure costs with SAP HANA Native Storage Extension and SAP MaxAttention

Improving data volume management and lowering costs with native storage extension

Denner, Switzerland’s leading discount grocery retailer, needed to modernize IT operations and prepare for a cloud migration while managing rapidly growing SAP in-memory data volumes and limiting infrastructure costs. The company also lacked internal expertise to reduce in-memory data and to use native storage extension (NSE) effectively, making SAP a key partner in addressing the challenge.

SAP implemented data volume management and SAP HANA native storage extension, supported by SAP MaxAttention Services and the SAP Customer Activity Repository applications bundle. The project identified a 40% potential reduction in data volume and achieved a 25% reduction in in-memory data, lowering future cloud and hardware costs while giving Denner a scalable, more future-ready architecture.
