I think there is a major misunderstanding about HANA'S performance improvements. There isn't anyone foolish to make a claim in either hardware or software that someting has improved 1,000,000,000 times faster than the old way of doing it.
The 1 million you are talking about is a TIME FACTOR. Probably the millionith of seconds. Stoarge Speed, and speed from storage to the CPU is usually broken down in the Macro, Milli, and now NANO seconds. If you can actually perform IN MEMORY COMPUTING you could be in the NANO second claim. But that doesn't mean you are 1,000,000,000 times faster than either the Hard Disk or an SSD. 1, 1000, to 10,000 is a better formula, 1 is HD, 1000 is SSD and 10,000 is IN MEMORY RAM.
Finally, HANA is a select product that will only work on select data and applications. It use compression algo's and the HOT DATA approach. It's also very expensive. You need a load of RAM to use it,
