The SAP Cloud Connector (SCC) acts as a secure link between on-premise systems and SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform), enabling hybrid cloud scenarios. Here’s how it helps in on-premise and cloud integration:
1. Secure Tunnel for Connectivity
- SCC creates a reverse proxy tunnel between SAP BTP and on-premise systems without exposing them to the internet.
- It supports HTTPS and ensures end-to-end encryption.
2. Controlled Access to On-Premise Systems
- SCC allows fine-grained access control, ensuring only authorized cloud applications can reach specific on-premise services.
- It supports whitelisting of specific resources (e.g., OData, RFC, JDBC) from on-premise systems.
3. Supports Multiple Protocols
- It can handle HTTP, HTTPS, RFC (Remote Function Calls), and TCP protocols, making it flexible for different SAP and non-SAP systems.
4. No Need for Public Exposure of On-Premise Systems
- Unlike traditional VPNs or direct internet exposure, SCC ensures that internal systems remain hidden from external threats.
5. Multi-Backend Connectivity
- A single SCC instance can connect multiple on-premise systems to SAP BTP, reducing infrastructure complexity.
6. High Availability & Load Balancing
- Supports multiple connectors for failover and load balancing to ensure continuous operations.
7. Audit Logging & Monitoring
- Provides detailed logs and monitoring for tracking data access and troubleshooting issues.
Use Cases
- SAP BTP Integration Suite to fetch on-premise SAP ERP (e.g., S/4HANA) data.
- SAP Fiori Apps deployed on SAP BTP accessing on-premise data securely.
- SAP Analytics Cloud consuming data from an on-premise SAP BW or HANA system.
Conclusion
SAP Cloud Connector simplifies and secures hybrid SAP architectures, making it an essential component for organizations transitioning to the cloud while maintaining on-premise systems.
