SAP IQ support ends
SAP IQ support has ended. Move to Zetaris.
The Sybase / SAP IQ alternative
Move off Sybase / SAP IQ, not your data.
Zetaris is the AI lakehouse that replaces the Sybase / SAP IQ columnar in-memory stack. Query your data where it lives, cut the ETL pipelines, and lower cloud costs, with real-time AI-ready access across every source and no rip-and-replace migration.
-
Multi-engine intelligence
Spark, Trino, Presto and DuckDB, routed automatically to cut compute up to 60%.
-
Zero copy. Copy that.
Run queries in place. No duplication, no egress fees, no migrations.
-
40% lower data costs
Cut spend by removing ETL, reducing management overhead, and optimizing every workload.

Why switch
Reasons to make the switch to Zetaris
Modernize analytics off the Sybase / SAP IQ stack without a database migration.
-
Query-in-place by design
Query data where it lives, and keep Sybase in place as a source while you add cross-system analytics on top.
-
Multi-engine smart routing
Spark, Trino, Presto, DuckDB, the right engine for every job, automatically.
-
AI-native architecture
Built for AI-speed from the ground up, not retrofitted BI.
-
Open & sovereign
Deploy anywhere. Stay compliant. Keep control.
-
Real-time, every time
Batch and streaming combined for sub-second AI responses.
-
Secure by default
Governance, encryption, and role-based controls, audit-ready.
Compare the pair, and discover the Zetaris difference
Zetaris is a networked data platform and AI lakehouse that sits across your existing systems. It queries data in place and unifies it through a single semantic layer and AI-ready data products, instead of replacing every layer.
SAP IQ / HANA is a column-oriented data warehouse plus an in-memory platform that converges OLTP and OLAP, built to be the central system of record for SAP workloads.
Zetaris is zero-copy: it queries at the source and only creates lakehouse storage where it is strategically needed, which directly cuts ETL sprawl and egress spend.
SAP IQ / HANA typically rely on ETL or replication to load data into SAP schemas; performance is best when the data is physically loaded in.
Zetaris uses a distributed Spark runtime and multi-engine routing to cut compute cost by up to 60%, and avoids standing up another massive centralized warehouse, bringing TCO to roughly a third of legacy central-lake models.
SAP IQ / HANA carry significant license, hardware and operations cost, especially at scale.
Zetaris governs at a single control point: row and column-level policies, encryption, and a unified semantic layer across every connected system.
SAP IQ / HANA use LDAP and role-based controls, encryption and administration within the SAP stack; governance is per database landscape.
Zetaris is the modern lakehouse for AI, with an AI-native architecture that treats training, inference and governance across structured, unstructured and streaming data as first-class use cases. A Spark-based core smart-routes Spark, Trino, Presto and DuckDB for AI workloads.
SAP IQ / HANA are built primarily for transactional and SAP analytics workloads.
Zetaris connects directly to your existing SAP IQ and HANA environments, lets you query across them and build an open lakehouse, then retires IQ/HANA workloads progressively as you stand up open lakehouse storage.
SAP IQ / HANA migrations to another platform usually mean heavy ETL, data-model rewrites and disruption.
