SAP Sponsorsthe OpenStackFoundation

SAP is committed to an open cloud platform that will meet the needs of its customers and partners. To this end, SAP will act as an active consumer in the Open Stack community and make contributions to the open source code base.

In addition, SAP has significant expertise in managing enterprise clouds, and its contributions will focus on enhancing Open Stack for those scenarios.


Since SAP is leveraging Open Stack and Cloud Foundry for its platform, developers, customers and partners will be able to take advantage of the latest cloud technologies.

The new open source partnerships are a significant step in SAP’s strategy to provide an open technology platform and deepen its commitment to the developer community.

SAP recently announced an agreement with Databricks — the company founded by the creators of Apache Spark —to deliver a Spark distribution for integration with SAP HANA platform that is based on Apache Spark 1.0.

In December 2013, SAP announced contributions to the open source community, such as the SAP HANA database client via GitHub site that enables developers to efficiently connect Node.js applications to SAP HANA.
