Overview

SAP Cloud Platform was an open platform-as-a-service, [5] which included the in-memory SAP HANA database management system, connects to both on premises and cloud-based systems running SAP or other third-party software and relies on open standards, [6] like Java, JavaScript, Node.js and Cloud Foundry [7] for integration options.

SAP and Apple Inc. partnered to develop mobile applications on iOS using cloud-based software development kits (SDKs) for the SAP Cloud Platform. [8] [9]

SAP Cloud Platform was based on open source technology, developed & supported in partnership with SUSE. [10]

The company worked with the Cloud Foundry Foundation for an offering of SAP Cloud Platform that enabled customers to test out and give feedback for the functionalities coming with Cloud Foundry. [11]
