LAS VEGAS, Oct. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced new cloud native development, deployment and lifecycle management capabilities in SAP® Cloud Platform. These new features empower enterprises and developers with more business-focused tools to succeed in the digital economy. SAP Cloud Platform offers customers a smooth, fast and easy transition to the cloud and opens up limitless innovation potential. This announcement was made at the SAP TechEd conference taking place October 2–5, 2018, in Las Vegas.
"Our new SAP Cloud Platform capabilities are focused on accelerating the delivery of new business application functionality," said Björn Goerke, president, SAP Cloud Platform, and chief technology officer at SAP. "This will enable our customers to better serve their customers and innovate in their markets. SAP's investment in open source, business services and other technologies will help developers deploy innovative business applications and other game-changing apps to make their companies intelligent enterprises."
New Cloud Business-Focused Development
With SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS, S.A. San Miguel, an Argentina-based citrus company, has created a mobile app that management and workers can use to plan, list, track and update grove activities.
"With SAP Cloud Platform, we are delivering apps that eliminate paperwork and other manual processes," said Eduardo Martinez, chief information officer, S.A. San Miguel. "This empowers our employees in the groves to record data on the spot and helps us react immediately to changes."
New Cloud Business-Focused Deployment
SAP Cloud Platform is now delivering enterprise-ready, event-driven serverless business application deployment innovation with three integrated services based on Kubernetes, Knative and Kubeless. With these new services, customers can reimagine and evolve crucial business processes into event-sensing applications:
These services provide an easily consumed serverless environment and are billed as microservices, designed to speed deployment of event-based cloud applications.
"As enterprises build next-gen applications to support digital transformation of their business and workforce, many are turning to adopt platform-as-a-service," said Holger Mueller, principal analyst and vice president, Constellation Research. "Open source standards-based platforms have become the choice for CxOs, with Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes as the most prominent winners. CxOs also want to see their team's existing skills leveraged, so the availability of programming languages that developers are comfortable and experienced with is a key advantage to PaaS platforms."
New Cloud Business-Focused Lifecycle Management
Kubernetes as a service for SAP Cloud Platform, private beta, will offer customers the deployment option of containerized business application workloads in a Kubernetes environment. This will give customers flexibility and ease in building robust, container-based business applications that are easily deployed and managed in their public cloud of choice. This is planned to be GA in 2019.
SAP recently announced that customer adoption for SAP Cloud Platform has reached over 10,000 customers. For more details on SAP Cloud Platform, read the interview with Björn Goerke.
