Google Cloud and SAP
RISE with SAP on Google Cloud
Modernizing the enterprise core to maximize data value
This partnership enables organizations to transition from legacy on-premises environments to a managed, cloud-native model engineered for data excellence. By deploying RISE with SAP on Google Cloud, businesses reduce technical debt while ensuring their most critical operations are supported by a secure, highly resilient, and analytics-ready foundation.
Eliminate data silos and preserve business context by unifying SAP Business Data Cloud and Google BigQuery through zero-copy integration. This foundation enables trustworthy AI and real-time decisions while removing the complexity and latency of traditional ETL processes.
Overview
Reliable and certified global infrastructure
Move your mission-critical SAP workloads to a platform designed for high scalability and uninterrupted business continuity.
- Certified, memory-optimized performance: Run high-performance, mission-critical SAP applications globally on purpose-built infrastructure.
- Unique reliability and uptime: Maintain continuous operations with "Live Migration" technology, eliminating the planned downtime common in other cloud environments.
- Global scalability and residency: Confidently scale across 40+ global data centers to meet demanding compliance and performance requirements.
A native bridge to advanced analytics
Moving to Google Cloud establishes a pristine, cloud-native ERP foundation that connects natively to BigQuery, turning a modernization project into a strategic data monetization engine.
- Data-driven operational readiness: Shift from managing complex hardware to executing real-time, data-driven business actions.
- Unleash enterprise data value: Eliminate manual ETL pipelines and simplify access to insights with bidirectional, zero-copy data sharing between SAP BDC and BigQuery.
- Accelerate time-to-insight: Transform disconnected data into high-fidelity products with a trusted semantic layer that translates "database speak" into "business speak."
Unmatched security and sustainability
Protect your enterprise core, reduce operational costs, and meet corporate ESG targets on a cloud built for the future.
- Secure, resilient modernization: Protect workloads with a secure-by-design, multilayered foundation backed by Mandiant threat intelligence.
- Market-leading TCO: Reduce capital and maintenance overhead with a managed cloud model, achieving a superior TCO compared to legacy environments.
- Sustainability leadership: Instantly accelerate ESG targets by hosting SAP workloads on data centers that are twice as energy-efficient as typical facilities.
