In 2016, SAP is offering an alternative to the On-premise solution of its ERP with the release of SAP S/4 HANA Cloud, the ERP in SaaS mode.
This solution allows you to take full advantage of the performance of the “In-memory” HANA database from the Cloud. Transaction execution is fast and data access is in real time.
The integration of SAP S/4 HANA can therefore be carried out in 3 different ways. It is possible to opt for :
The on-premise version : SAP S/4 HANA On Premise
- Compulsory licence
- Customer’s own datacentre, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) or public Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
The cloud version: SAP S/4 HANA Cloud
- Operates in SaaS mode (Software As A Service)
- Datacentre on SAP’s private platform, the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC), or on the public cloud of IaaS providers such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud
The hybrid version: SAP S/4 HANA Private Cloud
- Combination of on-premises and cloud solution (HEC)
