My point of view:
In my company we used the HANA server to COPA. the SAP CO-PA Accelerator, powered by SAP
HANA, empowers organizations with easy access to data to make timely decisions.

Before upgrading the HANA DB from SPS06 to SPS08 we have a lot of memory and CPU consuming, the total
memory available on the host is used, CPU resource are running low,
And more important problem we did not expect them.
For you can feel it, I I'll put some pictures here:
After the upgrade like a magic the CPU and memory consuming are decreased, and the system works so fast!!
Tasks you need to take care before you start the upgrade
Before I start the upgrade I had to upgrade GCC 4.7 (2001528) and to Run script keepTransaction.py
(1919033) and script MERGE_ALL_TABLES (1919034) see details in Prerequisites and planning.

You can see the error I get when I start the upgrade. (Picture 4.0)
Please follow the following item from note #1995791:
Validity: there was a file /usr/sap/HAN.hdbupgrade dated last year
Which was used when the database was upgraded to REL 60. It appears
that the previous upgrade was still in a "hung" state which causes the
error message below (SAP HANA Database installation kit
'1.00.60.379371' required)
resume the update. Once resumed a new file HAN.hdbupgrade with recent
Picture 5.0
Error when I try to update the studio from: Help – Install New software Picture 5.0
Solution in Note number - 2026732 - Can't update SAP HANA Studio via Update Site
Cause:
If the differences between studio revisions is great, the Eclipse installer cannot resolve the differences in
package dependencies.
Solution:
Users will need to manually upgrade the SAP HANA Studio
I hope this guide will help you to start thinking about upgrading your HANA Server - good luck
