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.
