Your SAP team has five questions. We have five answers.

The same blockers come up in every SAP HANA hosting conversation. Here's how QCloud removes them.

Run HANA on QCloud's SAP-certified shared or dedicated infrastructure. No appliance procurement, no 6-month lead time, no over-provisioning. Spin up a 256 GB HANA instance in under 4 hours, scale memory up or down by ticket, pay only for what you use — billed monthly. CapEx becomes OpEx.

Every byte of your HANA instance — primary, replica, snapshots, backups, DR — lives in PTCL Tier-3 data centers in Karachi and Islamabad. Zero offshore exposure. Compliant with State Bank of Pakistan, PTA, and PECA data-residency requirements. Auditable from day one.

QCloud's in-country SAP specialists handle DB patching, HANA revision upgrades, parameter tuning, backup orchestration, system replication setup, and incident response — 24×7×365. You keep functional control; we keep the database running.

Our migration team runs a structured SAP HANA Migration Assessment — Greenfield, Brownfield, or Selective Data Transition. Average cutover: 6–10 weeks for mid-sized SAP estates. We've migrated banking cores, manufacturing ERPs, and FMCG distribution platforms inside Pakistan.

QCloud bills every HANA workload — compute, memory, storage, backup, support — in Pakistani Rupees, monthly. No FX exposure, no quarterly invoice shocks. BYOL customers continue to pay SAP separately; everything else lands on a single invoice from QCloud.

Why HANA is fast — and why hosting matters.

HANA's columnar in-memory engine only delivers real-time analytics when the underlying hardware, OS, and network are tuned correctly. We tune all three.

Row-store, disk-based
Avg scan time: 4.8 s · Disk I/O: heavy · Compression: 1.4×
Column-store, in-memory
Avg scan time: 82 ms · Disk I/O: none · Compression: 4.2×
On QCloud, every HANA instance runs on NUMA-aware hosts with tuned RHEL kernel parameters and dedicated 25 GbE network paths — so the in-memory engine actually performs at HANA speed, not at "VM-on-shared-disk" speed.

You own the business logic. We own the database.

Clear, written responsibility split — no grey zones, no ticket ping-pong.

Two regions. One synchronous heartbeat.

QCloud runs your HANA primary in one region and a synchronous or asynchronous replica in the other — automatic failover, in-country.

KHI-1 · PRIMARY App HANA OS Storage ISB-1 · REPLICA App HANA OS Storage Synchronous HSR · log shipping · ~3 ms RTT RPO ≤ 0 sec synchronous mode RTO < 5 min auto failover Failover drills quarterly documented
Pacemaker cluster

Automated failover orchestration on RHEL/SLES.

Cross-region snapshots

Point-in-time HANA backups replicated to OSS in the secondary region.

Documented runbooks

Every customer gets a written DR runbook + an annual failover drill report.

Three ways to pay — pick what fits your SAP contract.

QCloud bills the infrastructure. You decide how the SAP license sits on top.

Before you provision your first HANA instance — eight questions answered.

Yes. QCloud uses SAP-validated infrastructure aligned to SAP TDI (Tailored Datacenter Integration) guidelines. We deploy SAP HANA on Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP — both certified by SAP for HANA workloads.
S/4HANA (on-prem deployment model), BW/4HANA, SAP Business Suite on HANA, SAP Business One on HANA, native HANA applications (XS / XSA), and any custom application that connects to SAP HANA over JDBC/ODBC.
Inside Pakistan. Primary, replica, snapshots, and backups all reside in PTCL Tier-3 / Rated-3 data centers in Karachi (KHI-1) and Islamabad (ISB-1). No byte leaves the country.
Yes. BYOL is fully supported — pay SAP AG directly for the license, pay QCloud monthly for the infrastructure, OS subscription, and managed operations. We also offer monthly-leased license bundles if you don't have a license today.
A standard HANA instance with HSR pre-wired is typically provisioned within 4–24 hours of contract signing, depending on memory size and HA topology. Dedicated bare-metal HANA appliances take longer (5–10 business days).
Every production HANA on QCloud is deployed with HANA System Replication (HSR) — synchronous within a region (RPO 0) or asynchronous across KHI-1 ↔ ISB-1 (RPO seconds). Pacemaker handles automated failover. DR drills are run quarterly and documented.
QCloud runs a structured migration assessment that selects the best path — Greenfield (new S/4HANA implementation), Brownfield (system conversion via SUM/DMO), or Selective Data Transition. Average duration for mid-sized SAP estates: 6–10 weeks including hypercare.
Round-the-clock monitoring of HANA, OS, storage, network, and HSR; HANA revision and SPS upgrades; backup orchestration and verified restores; parameter tuning reviews; incident response with < 15 min acknowledgement on Severity-1; quarterly tuning reviews; documented DR drills.
