Answer: C

Explanation:

In an SAP HANA environment, the speed and latency of storage are critical for performance, especially when dealing with large datasets. While SAP HANA is designed to run entirely in memory, some customers may seek alternatives that offer a balance between performance and cost.

NVMe SCM (Storage Class Memory) is a cutting-edge storage technology that offers extremely low latency and high performance, making it an ideal alternative for environments like SAP HANA. NVMe SCM provides faster data access speeds than traditional SSDs and even NVMe SSDs, making it a

perfect fit for workloads that demand high-speed data processing, such as SAP HANA.
