SAP Cloud Platform Internet of Things
The SAP Cloud Platform IoT service enables customers and partners to develop, customise, and operate Internet of Things business applications in the cloud. SAP's Internet of Things service provides core technical services to process a high velocity of device data with streaming analytics and device management capabilities. The respective services provide a secure connection to remote devices using a broad variety of IoT protocols and manage the device lifecycle from onboarding to decommissioning. It collects and processes sensor data at scale already at the edge or in the cloud and stores it on the SAP Cloud Platform for use by other applications.
SAP Cloud Platform IoT Gateway
The IoT Gateway component is responsible for collecting data from a sensor network and sending commands to the network on behalf of other Internet of Things core service modules. It acts as a virtual gateway that brings devices and assets online.
The IoT Gateway can be deployed in the cloud (IoT Gateway Cloud) or on the edge (IoT Gateway Edge) and provides adapters for network convergence and syntactic protocol normalisation.
To help customers jump start their IoT projects, SAP is working with SAP hardware partners and device vendors to pre-test and certify devices that run the SAP IoT Gateway Edge, also, Sensors and Devices communicating to the SAP Cloud Platform Internet of Things and Device Clouds Transferring Data to the SAP Cloud. We are also offering certifications for innovative solutions that connect to the SAP cloud.
IoT is at the centre of innovation. To help customers accelerate their IoT projects, while reducing risks, costs, and resource requirements, SAP works with a wide array of hardware partners and device vendors to pre-test and certify devices on SAP Cloud Platform. This program includes devices that run the SAP IoT Gateway Edge component, sensors and devices communicating with the Internet of Things Service, and device clouds transferring data to the SAP Cloud Platform. In addition, SAP is also certifying innovative solutions that connect to the SAP Cloud Platform.
