SAP Data Warehousing solutions as of 2023

Data warehousing is a category of enterprise software that integrates a data from different sources, transform it into a consistent and structured format, and provide users with easy access to the information needed for decision-making purposes.

As of Q2 2023 SAP has three data warehouse solutions depending on its deployment scenarios:

 

A) on-prem & private cloud:

1. SAP HANA SQL DWH (Data WareHousing) – brings SAP HANA platform with loosely coupled tools and its platform services (HANA application, integration, processing and database services), best of breed to build own data models

2. SAP BW/4HANA – packaged data warehousing solution, successor of SAP BW, all DWH services in one integrated repository (modeling, monitoring and managing the DWH)

B) public cloud:

3. SAP Datasphere (formerly SAP DataWarehouse Cloud) – cloud based data warehousing service

 

Into the A) section there would be a place for classic SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) up to its latest version 7.5 as well. However, the SAP BW is based on SAP NetWeaver stack that reaches its end of maintenance status. Due to this the latest version of SAP BW – 7.5 has a planned expiration of mainstream maintenance as of Dec 31st of 2027.

Other perspective can be either from application or native (SQL type) of the Data warehouse. SAP Datasphere and SAP BW/4HANA is application driven solution whereas SAP HANA SQL DWH is native driven type of DWH solution.

Each solution caters to different needs and deployment scenarios, enabling customers to effectively manage and leverage their data assets for improved decision-making and business outcomes.
