SAP customers balance efforts to implement the latest SAP ERP innovation with the pace of change and project priorities in their SAP ecosystems. SAP, Dell, HPE, Intel, and Lenovo all represent the single most-powerful, yet seldom-presented SAP Cloud ERP solution, which allows SAP to deliver the best of both worlds—SAP Cloud ERP Private Edition in your existing data locations. When deployed in your existing data locations, this SAP solution requires the least amount of time and effort to implement and integrates seamlessly into your holistic SAP ecosystem.
As IT becomes increasingly hybrid/multi cloud, geopolitical issues expose additional control/security risks, and companies prioritize their own unique holistic data and AI strategies over those of their many software vendors, SAP has created an easier path to SAP Cloud ERP. Dell, HPE, Intel, and Lenovo would like to formally introduce SAP Cloud ERP Private Edition, Customer Data Center (PE CDC).
PE CDC is an SAP Cloud ERP Private Edition platform-as-a-service built upon Intel infrastructure-as-a-service from Dell, HPE, or Lenovo. The software, service, and credit-backed service level agreement from SAP mirrors the SAP Cloud ERP Private Edition hyperscale cloud option, with the main difference being the flexible location a customer chooses to deploy the infrastructure (existing data center, colocation data center, etc.).
The PE CDC solution reduces the likelihood of SAP data isolation caused by aging Public Cloud First strategies (along with their related data movement fees, egress fees and variable latency constraints), with a modern and flexible data-first strategy. Data-first strategy empowers customers to deploy their own holistic data and AI policies, without placing financial, variable latency, or arbitrary fences around data sets. PE CDC is hybrid cloud by design. As such, it co-exists with public, private, and on-premises data including data in remote locations.
SAP customers benefit from PE CDC with:
- Modern, comprehensive hybrid cloud.
- SAP Cloud ERP Private Edition Innovation (including Agentic Joule AI).
- Less change, risk, business disruption.
- Enabling their own holistic data and AI strategy with SAP’s strategy.
- Top priority/full visibility to incident response impacting SAP availability.
