What problem are we addressing?
Business users need to
have all the data
relevant to their
decision and they need
to trust the security
and accuracy of their
data
Businesses need to
harness the power of
all their data –
business and new data
types –and to
anticipate and influence
business outcomes
Businesses need to
provide all users with
the right information
in context at the right
moment forthe task at
hand

Business situation and implications
Most enterprises now have data in 6-8 clouds
Data has become less accessible due to the proliferation of
cloud based solutions and business unit build applications further
fragmenting the data landscape
Company’s understanding of their customers, suppliers,
products has been in decline, caused by data being inaccessible
Substantial legal risks due to lack of governance, e.g. GDPR
Difficulty of operationalizing data science use in everyday
business processes

Deployment & Consumption
Cloud Deployments and Decoupling of Hadoop & Hana
Simplified deployment of SAP Data Hub
in cloud and on-premise environments
•All components are fully containerized and delivered as
Docker images including SAP HANA
•remove the pre-requisites of installing SAP HANA database and
XS advanced.
•remove Hadoop as a pre-requisites of setting up a Hadoop
cluster
•Decoupling data processing from storage platforms (any
supported cloud stores). All runtime execution is now
occurred in Kubernetes
•Deployable on most popular Kubernetes managed
environments*. Supports:
•managed Kubernetes Services of the major cloud providers (i.e.
AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform),
•private cloud, and
•on-premise installations
