E3 Category: Linux Kolumne

Linux is a platform for R/3 up to ECC 6.0 and the sole operating system for Hana. Linux is the spearhead for open source at SAP. This column is mainly dedicated to Linux/Hana architectures.

SAP Edge Integration Cell is a flexible hybrid integration runtime that is available as an optional extension to the SAP Integration Suite. This API management executes integration scenarios within a private infrastructure.
A challenge for any organization, especially those moving SAP workloads to the cloud, is to protect data at every stage: at rest, in transit and, perhaps most importantly, during processing.
The NIS2 Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act are responses to the increasing number of cyberattacks. Here it is helpful to rely on the BSI-certified Suse Linux platform for SAP.
AI and ML are all the rage in the SAP world. However, developing, deploying, and managing AI and ML models poses a number of challenges and requires specific frameworks.
Is automating IT processes a technical challenge? Yes, but not only a challenge. The key to success and seamless implementation is a well-structured plan that involves all employees—not just those in IT.

SAP users are caught between the conflicting priorities of migration and innovation. Migration projects with lift-and-shift procedures often dominate at first, and innovation falls by the wayside. But there is a better way.

Open source stands for innovation and is an integral part of the SAP world. Almost every player in the SAP ecosystem, be it a partner, an independent software vendor or an add-on manufacturer, is therefore taking up the open source theme.
Open source has become the standard in many companies. The triumphant advance not only represents a technological change, but is also associated with a cultural change.
Open source is shaping the future, also in the SAP world. This change also affects long-standing SAP partners. They have to ask themselves how they can best get on the open source path in order to participate in the same way.
