Cloud Hosting

SAP SE has announced that multiple SAP cloud solutions are expected to become available on a local India-based data center from mid-2024.

In light of the regulatory requirements for data processing and storage affecting different segments of SAP customers, Indian businesses are looking to SAPs new presence on an India-based data center to help to foster and ensure an environment of trust, resilience and risk mitigation for their mission-critical business applications.

Expanding the current portfolio of cloud solutions available in India, including SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Ariba will be hosted and offered to customers from within the sovereign borders of India.

Thomas Saueressig, Member of the Executive Board of SAP SE for SAP Product Engineering said, India is set to become the third largest economy in the world and plays a critical role in supporting SAPs cloud strategy and momentum. SAP already touches 60 per cent of Indias GDP and, by hosting our cloud solutions on an India-based data center, we will be even more uniquely positioned to help organisations across the country to transform their operations, and continue to innovate and grow in the cloud.

For its local India-based data centre, SAP will partner and collaborate with cloud service providers empanelled by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India to ensure in-country residency of business-critical and personal data.

Kulmeet Bawa, President & Managing Director, SAP Indian Subcontinent said, SAP has been working with customers, partners, and the Indian government for years to support the vision of a self-reliant, Digital India. India is a strategic market for SAP, and as Indian organizations continue their Cloud transformation journeys, this development will provide a vital infrastructure foundation for businesses of all sizes enabling them to develop new customer experiences, utilize more cutting-edge technologies, and scale innovation using a wide range of SAPs cloud offerings.

Sindhu Gangadharan, SVP & MD, SAP Labs India and Head, SAP User Enablement said, This is a historic moment for us at SAP in India. The India-based data center is a testament to SAPs commitment to empowering businesses with cutting-edge technology. We believe that data is the bedrock of the digital age, and this center will not only power the future but also serve as the foundation for innovation, fostering growth and transformation in the digital landscape for our customers. It will strengthen our valued partnerships, catalyzing progress across industries through a wide range of SAPs cloud offerings.
