It provides a vendor agnostic and harmonized Hardware Infrastructure architecture as well as an infrastructure orchestration and automation layer in all major SAP data centers.

IaaS used for general purpose solutions using no distro for OpenStack and VMware as hypervisor technology. Distro is short term for Linux distribution, which is an operating system made from a software collection, which is based upon Linux kernel and often packaged as management system.

The Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalogue (abbreviated “C5”) is intended primarily for cloud service providers as well as their customers and auditors. It is defined which requirements (also referred to as controls in this context) the cloud providers have to comply with or which minimum requirements the cloud providers should be obliged to meet. The catalogue is divided into 17 thematic sections (e.g. organization of information security, physical security). The surrounding parameters provide additional information on the data location, provision of services, place of jurisdiction, certifications and duties of investigation and disclosure towards government agencies and contain a system description.
