S/4 is ERP solution, BW is Data Warehousing framework, HANA is a DBMS that have an ability to run application platform inside it (XS Advanced). S/4 and BW/4 both run on NetWeaver platform and they both use HANA DBMS underneath. But their purposes are different. Since NetWeaver is an app platform you can install BW/4 and S/4 on the same system, but it is another question. SAP BO is another application platform that is used for reporting (WebI, Crystal Reports, AFO) and data integration (Data Services) apps of BO package.
