SAP is launching an IoT-centric version of the HANA Cloud platform<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SAP this week pulled the curtain of a version of its HANA cloud platform tailored specifically to Internet of Things applications.<\/p>\n

The company said the private cloud service, based on its in-memory compute platform HANA, will provide the foundation for its IoT application services \u2013 analytics, telematics, its connected car services and manufacturing offerings.<\/p>\n

SAP hasn\u2019t commented on whether it will open up the platform for non-SAP applications. But the company said the move means it now offers an end-to-end spectrum of IoT services.<\/p>\n

\u201cSAP is helping customers reimagine their business with the most comprehensive portfolio of Internet of Things solutions from core business operations to the edge of the network,\u201d said Steve Lucas, president, platform solutions, SAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the launch of SAP HANA Cloud Platform for the Internet of Things, our customers and partners now have the ability to connect anything to any app or business process in their company and business network. This will achieve operational excellence and deliver new customer experiences, products and services,\u201d Lucas said.<\/p>\n

As a sweetener the company will throw in free and unlimited access (for a limited time) to SAP SQL Anywhere, the SAP\u2019s embeddable database for IoT devices, when customers sign up to use the HANA Cloud IoT service.<\/p>\n

Siemens and Tennant are already running production deployments on the platform.<\/p>\n

Paul Wellman, chief information officer at Tennant said: \u201cUsing SAP HANA, Tennant is able to differentiate its solutions and remain competitive in the cleaning equipment business. Now our customers can measure usage across their fleet to drive operational consistency, track machines to better manage assets and leverage this business intelligence to achieve significant cost savings.\u201d<\/p>\n

SAP has moved to strengthen its position among IoT incumbents over the past six months, and the company\u00a0 is no stranger to data management and processing within the context of ERP, telematics and M2M.<\/p>\n

The German software giant recently joined the Industrial Internet Consortium<\/a>, an Internet of Things-focused membership group of telcos, research institutes and technology manufacturers focused on developing interoperability standards and common architectures to bridge smart devices, machines, mobile devices and the data they create. It also recently signed a deal<\/a> with Deutsche Telekom\u2019s enterprise IT-focused subsidiary T-Systems to build a cloud-based IoT platform for the connected car and logistics sectors.<\/p>\n
