Cloud-based data lakes offer flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional data warehouses. ZircLinkX Data Lakes serves as the bridge between SAP applications and data lakes operated in the AWS cloud, enhancing interoperability and facilitating seamless data integration and analysis.
What is ZircLinkX Data Lakes?
Data Lakes is a cloud-native solution designed to seamlessly integrate SAP data with data lakes in the Amazon cloud in a cost-effective manner. Businesses can leverage this solution to establish a unified data source for comprehensive data analysis, machine learning, and AI applications supported by various web services in AWS.
For data transfer, Data Lakes utilizes the SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server (SLT), which has been integrated into SAP S/4HANA since release 1909. This allows SAP data from both on-premises systems and SAP cloud installations to be consolidated into data lakes stored in Amazon S3 instances. Consequently, ZircLinkX Data Lakes assists businesses in creating a unified view of data across heterogeneous SAP landscapes and enables high-performance data analysis.
ZircLinkX Data Lakes is SAP-certified for NetWeaver and SAP S/4 HANA 1809, and it can be procured through the AWS Marketplace or the SAP Store.
