Redshift is a SQL relational database for large structured data volumes, whereas Amazon EMR (Elastic MapReduce) is for non-structured data. The Redshift FAQ has more details on this topic: http://aws.amazon.com/redshift/faqs/#0120
Other than the marketing buzz from SAP, I have not seen any reputable (neutral) comparison between Hana and Redshift that includes price. I also have never met anyone that uses/run Hana that was not already an SAP ERP client, albeit the fact that SAP keeps saying Hana is the fastest-growing product in the company's history.
