Hi Nilesh,

I'm not sure if I fully understand you questions, however, I'll attempt to answer anyway.

1.Can one SAP-HANA box be shared with 2 servers.

If you mean can more than 1 SAP HANA db be installed on the same physical box, then the answer is that only in a development/test environment. In production, you should only have 1 SAP HANA db installed on a physical HANA server.

If you mean, can more than 1 BW system reside on a SAP HANA box. The answer is currently no.

2. How HANA works on Cloud.

SAP HANA on the cloud current works with 2 scenarios. There's SAP HANA DB Services, also known as SAP HANA ONE, which provides pure DB access. The other scenario is SAP HANA App Services currently offering SAP Netweaver Cloud. For more detail on SAP HANA in the cloud, see http://www.sap.com/solutions/technology/cloud/overview/platform.epx
