SAP Cloud Platform is a platform as a service developed by SAP SE for creating new applications or extending existing applications in a secure cloud computing environment managed by SAP. The SAP Cloud Platform integrates data and business processes.[2][3]

Overview[edit]

SAP Cloud Platform is an open platform-as-a-service,[4] which includes the in-memory SAP HANA database management system, connects to both on premises and cloud-based systems running SAP or other third-party software and relies on open standards,[5] like Java, JavaScript, Node.js and Cloud Foundry[6] for integration options.

SAP and Apple Inc. partnered to develop mobile applications on iOS using cloud-based software development kits (SDKs) for the SAP Cloud Platform.[7][8]

SAP Cloud Platform is based on open source technology, developed & supported in partnership with SUSE.[9]

The company is also in partnership with Cloud Foundry for a beta offering of SAP Cloud Platform that enables customers to test out and give feedback for the functionalities coming with Cloud Foundry.[10]

In mid-January 2021, the SAP Cloud Platform brand was retired to support the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) brand.[11]

History[edit]

Initially unveiled as SAP NetWeaver Cloud belonging to the SAP HANA Cloud portfolio on October 16, 2012[12] the cloud platform was reintroduced with the new name SAP HANA Cloud Platform on May 13, 2013[13] as the foundation for SAP cloud products, including the SAP BusinessObjects Cloud.[14] Adoption of the SAP HANA Cloud Platform has increased steadily[15] since the platform's launch in 2012, with SAP claiming over 4000 customers and 500 partners adopting the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.[16][17]

On February 27, 2017 SAP HANA Cloud Platform was renamed SAP Cloud Platform at the Mobile World Congress.[18]
