Normally
when organization decides to implement SAP S/4HANA ERP system there is a implementation
period during which the system is deployed to the organization reflecting its
needs. This is a way in which the organization actually get engaged with SAP
software.
Additionally
SAP is offering for their customer and/or partner so called appliance, which
has the S/4HANA software installed. This way there is no implementation period the software can be leveraged right away. They call it fully-activated appliance as
it has already some demo scenarios preconfigured including a data. It can be
useful for rapid prototyping, proof-of-concept work, demoing, testing etc.
There are two way how the appliance can be consumed.
In cloud – appliance can be deployed from SAP
CAL – Cloud Application Library.
On premise – SAP can send the software via set
of blue-ray disks for installation on customer’s premises. And this option is
actually an interesting one. It reminds me of some similar initiative that SAP
was providing long time back. It was so called SAP IDES
laptops. Even this time this is no physical hardware still there are
similarities between the two. The software is preconfigured but this time you
have to install it on your hardware. See below SAP Note for all the details about
it.
