SAP Hana is actually a pretty interesting technology for developing data analysis website. It's a DB integrated with a web server and it automatically builds web services that let you query the data. It also provides a html/js framework to easily display and drill down (i think SAPUI5 is tied to that framework, or even is that framework).
They even got an amazon AMI to start developping quickly without paying the license upfront. Unfortunately the IDE which you use to build the webapp requires Windows.
hint : i don't work for SAP at all. I just discovered that technology a few weeks ago and it was pretty weird for me since i've always associated SAP to big, bloated, clumsy, and hyper expensive tools, for the enterprise only.
