SolarWinds introduced Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) for SAP HANA® Cloud, giving database teams a single, real-time view into SAP HANA performance across cloud and hybrid deployments, so they can react faster, troubleshoot smarter, and keep uptime high.
Available now in DPA 2026.2, DPA for SAP HANA Cloud brings SolarWinds® DPA's proven wait-based analytics, rich alerting, and AI-assisted tuning together with deep SAP HANA-aware monitoring, helping database administrators see exactly what an SAP HANA Cloud instance is waiting on before it becomes a business problem.
SAP HANA Cloud powers the most business-critical workloads in the enterprise, including ERP, finance, analytics, and operations, and when performance degrades, the impact is immediate and wide-reaching. Root-cause identification has historically been slow and expert-dependent, leaving database teams reacting to problems rather than preventing them — in fact, according to the 2025 State of Database Report, SolarWinds found surveyed DBAs spend more than half their workweek, an average of 27 hours, on reactive firefighting tasks, with only 40% saying their monitoring environment is fully unified. SolarWinds DPA for SAP HANA Cloud changes that by delivering deep, SAP HANA-aware observability, wait-based analytics, and AI-assisted tuning in a single platform, giving teams one consistent view of SAP HANA performance regardless of where it runs.
Key capabilities include:
- Dedicated SAP HANA instance type in DPA, with full support for SAP HANA Cloud (QRC releases) and SAP HANA 2.0+ on-premises for hybrid deployments.
- Coverage for both single-container and multi-container (MDC) deployments, eliminating visibility gaps across mixed environments.
- Full DPA wait-based analytics and deep resource metrics, spanning Quick, Plan, SQL Text, Stats, Blocking, and Summarization dimensions.
- Intelligent alerting across wait, resource, admin, blackout, and custom thresholds to catch issues before they escalate.
- Incremental SAP HANA-specific cloud observability that deepens with each DPA release as the platform continues to evolve.
“As SAP HANA Cloud has become the foundation for the most demanding SAP workloads, the pressure on database teams to maintain consistent performance has never been higher," said Bharat Bedi, General Manager, Database Observability, SolarWinds. "The challenge isn't a lack of data; it's a lack of clarity. SolarWinds DPA for SAP HANA Cloud cuts through that with wait-based analytics, intelligent alerting, and AI-assisted tuning that puts optimization in reach for every DBA on the team."
The introduction of DPA for SAP HANA Cloud builds on a long-standing commitment at SolarWinds to give database administrators the depth of visibility and actionable insight needed to protect critical business infrastructure. The solution extends DPA's established database observability platform, already trusted across database provider industry leaders, into one of the most business-critical monitoring environments in the enterprise.
DPA for SAP HANA Cloud is now available in DPA 2026.2.

For decades, traditional observability tools have forced IT professionals to sift through endless dashboards, turning a flood of alerts into actionable insight and driving widespread burnout. While enterprises adopted AI to eliminate this friction, most still deploy it reactively rather than proactively ... As systems become more complex and IT moves to the center of business strategy, a reactive posture is unsustainable ...
Ask an operations team what they monitor and you will hear a familiar list: latency, errors, throughput, uptime. Those signals still matter for AI, but they no longer answer the most important question. As Krishna Sai, CTO of SolarWinds, puts it: "Traditional observability tells you a system is running. AI observability tells you whether it's still reasoning soundly. Those are completely different questions" ...
AI observability serves several roles across an organization. AI engineers use it to build, evaluate, and improve AI systems. SREs use it to operate those systems reliably and efficiently in production, including managing their cost. Leaders need it to connect AI behavior and operational performance to business outcomes. The common need is a clear understanding of whether AI systems are delivering the intended result ...
Part 4 outlines the challenges enterprise face when adopting AI observability. The main challenge is that AI complexity compounds at every stage of maturity. LLM-based applications introduce new behavior, dependencies, and quality considerations, while Agentic AI adds further failure modes as systems make decisions and take actions ...
Part 3 reports on the current state of AI observability. Most experts agree: enterprises are moving faster with AI than they are with the operational discipline needed to run it safely ...
