Why DataVolumeIQ

More than a dashboard. More than an archive tool.

SAP teams already have operational tools for database administration, archiving and lifecycle management. DataVolumeIQ adds the intelligence layer that connects those domains, explains priorities and helps teams govern outcomes.

Cross-domain SAP intelligence

Correlate technical SAP volume, HANA consumption, archiving context, ILM controls, security posture and financial impact in one decision layer.

Explainable recommendations

Trace recommendations back to systems, tables, HANA diagnostics, archiving objects, policies, rule IDs, evidence classes, confidence and source datasets instead of relying on opaque scores.

Governed execution

Connect analysis to approvals, evidence, exceptions, verification and audit history while keeping production execution in customer-approved SAP operational procedures and tools.

Value realization

Move beyond theoretical savings by linking reduction opportunities to tracked actions and finance-ready value evidence.

Platform

Purpose-built for SAP data volume management.

DataVolumeIQ brings SAP DVM, HANA optimization, archiving, ILM, system applicability, scenario planning and value realization into one role-based enterprise platform.

Evidence & Lifecycle

Collect, review and approve evidence, then verify database reduction, reclaimed capacity and finance-accepted value in sequence.

Verified Outcomes

Keep modeled opportunities, measured database reduction, reclaimed capacity and finance-accepted value separate.

Customer Roles & Functional Scope

Give executives high-level dashboards and scenarios, functional owners their assigned areas, and administrators tenant configuration controls.

SAP Data Growth Intelligence

Analyze database size, monthly growth, modules, tables, data age and reduction potential across the SAP landscape.

HANA Optimization & Memory Reduction

Correlate column memory, compression, delta, NSE, unloads, heap, SQL peak memory, LOB, partitioning and reclaim evidence through the HANA Memory Reduction Cockpit.

Archiving Intelligence

Prioritize archiving objects, validated eligibility, execution readiness and technical housekeeping, with ECC/S/4 installed-object inventory and dependency context.

ILM & Compliance

Bring retention, residency, legal holds, policy evidence and destruction readiness into a governed lifecycle.

DVM Intelligence Graph

Connect systems, modules, tables, archiving objects, policies, risks and actions into explainable insight chains.

SAP Data Digital Twin

Model archive, aging, compression, retention and transformation scenarios before making production decisions.

Evidence-Driven Execution

Automatically populate recommendations from uploaded SAP evidence, collapse duplicates, expose confidence/provenance and turn findings into governed actions.

System Applicability & Remediation

Use ABAP-based installed component inventory and applied SAP Notes to assess applicability, track remediation and document exceptions.

DVIQ AI Copilot

Ask contextual questions, summarize findings and accelerate analysis using the evidence already available in the platform.

What the platform measures

Special service

HANA Memory Reduction Cockpit

A focused DataVolumeIQ service for SAP HANA teams that need to understand where memory is consumed, which technical reduction levers are supported by actual evidence, and what should be reviewed next.

The cockpit correlates HANA memory, column, NSE, unload, heap, SQL, LOB, partition and reclaim datasets without mixing working memory, transient counters or modeled opportunity into realized savings.

Available through the HANA Fragmentation & Reclaim add-on. Book a demo to discuss the assessment scope and receive service pricing. Access follows the purchased service and assigned role permissions.
Explore the Memory Reduction service

Column-store footprint

Main, delta, page-loadable memory, compression evidence and column-level contributors.

NSE Advisor evidence

PAGE/COLUMN recommendations, confidence and physical footprint with governed review thresholds.

Memory-pressure diagnostics

Unload events, heap consumers, reclaim activity and service-memory context.

SQL working memory

Peak statement-memory evidence kept separate from persistent table footprint.

Technical reduction actions

Compression, delta merge, LOB and partition reviews generated from uploaded evidence.

Evidence guardrails

Modeled relief, candidate footprint and measured outcomes remain clearly separated.

SAP Advisor + measured evidence
Recommendations are grounded in uploaded technical datasets.
Automatic recommendation refresh
New uploads recalculate the execution queue automatically.
Confidence & provenance
Rule ID, confidence, evidence class and source feeds stay visible.
Value realization
Actual memory reduction remains separate from modeled or candidate relief.

SAP HANA Native Storage Extension

Turn NSE Advisor output into governed warm-data decisions.

SAP HANA Native Storage Extension (NSE) is designed for warm, less-frequently accessed data that does not need to stay fully loaded in memory. DataVolumeIQ v5 brings NSE Advisor evidence into Cold Data & Usage Analysis so teams can review SAP recommendations alongside read, write, unload and access context.

A PAGE recommendation is a technical warm-data placement recommendation. It is not automatic archiving eligibility, deletion authorization, compliance approval, realized memory savings or financial value.

Advisor Recommendations

Total workload-based NSE Advisor recommendations available for review.

PAGE Candidates

Objects SAP HANA recommends evaluating for page-loadable warm-data placement.

COLUMN Candidates

Objects recommended to remain column-loadable for workload performance.

High Confidence

Recommendations with stronger advisor confidence, helping teams prioritize review.

PAGE Candidate Footprint

Physical footprint associated with PAGE recommendations — shown as footprint, not assumed savings.

Currently PAGE-Loaded

Visibility into recommendations already configured as page-loadable where current load-unit evidence is available.

Recommendation scope
Table · partition · column
Load-unit context
Recommended PAGE or COLUMN, plus current load unit where available
Workload evidence
Read count · write count · bytes read/written · unload history · last activity
Decision context
Confidence · memory footprint · physical footprint · cold-data signals

Evidence acquisition

Fewer uploads. Better provenance.

DataVolumeIQ v5 consolidates technical collection into recommended extraction packs instead of forcing customers to manage a separate SQL or ABAP extract for every dashboard.

Bulk-upload result files from a pack and route them to the correct logical datasets automatically.
Different data grains remain separate, avoiding incorrect joins between table, column, partition, SQL, event and LOB evidence.
Package completion shows which expected datasets have been loaded and which evidence is still missing.

6 HANA extraction packs

  • • HANA Memory Analysis
  • • HANA Usage & NSE Analysis
  • • HANA Table & Partition Analysis
  • • HANA Infrastructure Analysis
  • • HANA Performance & Memory Diagnostics
  • • HANA LOB Analysis

3 ABAP extraction packs

  • • ABAP System & Security Inventory
  • • ABAP DVM & Archiving Analysis
  • • ABAP ILM & Compliance
Advanced individual SQL and ABAP programs remain available for specialist use, while the recommended customer workflow stays package-first.

Recommendation intelligence

Recommendations that explain why they exist.

DataVolumeIQ v5 automatically turns uploaded SAP evidence into an execution queue while preserving the distinction between measured facts, SAP advisor output, DataVolumeIQ review guardrails and validated business eligibility.

Automatic refresh

Uploaded datasets are evaluated immediately against the active recommendation rules.

Evidence provenance

Every recommendation can expose rule ID, source feeds, evidence class and confidence.

Validated archiving

Age and DB15 mapping are never treated as archiving eligibility without validated evidence.

Governance blockers

Residence, retention, legal holds and missing evidence remain explicit blockers or review actions.

Evidence & lifecycle

Trace an opportunity through to accepted value.

Estimated opportunity, approved scope, measured reduction, reclaimed capacity and finance-accepted savings remain separate. Each result carries its supporting evidence.

  1. Step 1

    Collect evidence

    Upload scoped extracts and establish the system, table and cost baseline.

  2. Step 2

    Review the opportunity

    Validate source quality, residence, retention, legal holds and business prerequisites.

  3. Step 3

    Approve the plan

    Record business, compliance and technical approvals with evidence.

  4. Step 4

    Measure database reduction

    Compare before/after snapshots and record the execution result.

  5. Step 5

    Verify reclaimed capacity

    Confirm usable memory or disk capacity separately from logical deletion.

  6. Step 6

    Accept financial value

    Record Finance acceptance and supporting cost or invoice evidence.

Preserve historical access

Plan how archived and legacy information remains governed and accessible after transformation without carrying unnecessary transactional volume forward.

Align retention & legal requirements

Bring retention, residency, legal holds and destruction readiness into migration planning rather than addressing them after cutover.

Compare transformation scenarios

Evaluate baseline and optimized scenarios for capacity, growth, operational risk and expected value before committing to a target architecture.
