SAP has announced that a new SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud offering is now available in Singapore, offering customers the benefits of the in-memory platform via a private, fully managed cloud.
With this new offering, customers can run any SAP HANA workload, including the S/4HANA suite, with all-inclusive subscription-based pricing for SAP software and infrastructure.
With SAP now partnering with a increased number of global premium supplier in Southeast Asia, the HANA Enterprise Cloud offering is now available across Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
“Through these partnerships, we are able to deliver a service that helps companies move away from operating software.

“Built with the end in mind, it allows our customers to run simple with SAP, with the ability to use their SAP applications in an OPEX model without having to worry about ongoing operations. SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud retains the best of on-premise advantages, such as control of the IT lifecycle, and best of cloud, with its low capital expenditure requirements and flexibility.”
SAP has said that it will provide additional offerings for its private cloud in the next 18-24 months, including new features in cloud for analytics, capabilities that can help SAP HANA scale as a cloud platform, and SAP S/4HANA cloud for development.
