Achieve Cloud Freedom
As you plan your new data management strategy, you want to take advantage of the cloud. But what if privacy regulations limit your ability to move data off of your premises or across geographic boundaries? What if you want to embrace the cloud to extend your SAP applications but you want to keep core business processes in-house?
HYBRID AND MULTICLOUD DATABASE
You need the flexibility to mix and match your development and deployment choices – and to be able to revisit them whenever necessary. To help ensure your IT landscape serves you for the future:
Select applications that work on premise or in the cloud
Choose a cloud service without lock-in

Integrate cloud-native services, such as machine learning models
To realize cloud freedom, look for flexible development and deployment options. Applications that you can develop once and deploy everywhere help accelerate your business innovation in the cloud.
