Hello,

Is there 3rd-party data encryption solution for SAP HANA?

HANA does support native data encryption. In SP06 this is for the data file only and not for memory or backups.

You can use a 3rd party data encryption package for backups (Tivoli for example supports this).

It is currently not possible to encrypt logs or memory. We will see what HANA SP07 brings.

I raised the question about encryption of memory to SAP a few weeks ago.

The response I recieved was the following:

Yes, only that's slightly inaccurate. Log volumes are not encrypted in SP06.

Efficiently encrypting memory is tricky especially since HANA uses some clever features for data skipping and predicate matching.
