Introduction

• SAP S/4HANA is SAPs next-generation business
  suite which is specially designed to run on SAP
  HANA. S/4HANA was launched in February 2015 and
  is the fourth business suite version that came
  after SAP R/3.
• It is the only unique business suit that is
  compatible with SAP HANA system at its backend
  and just because of this unique feature, SAP has
  replaced the old SAP ECC/ERP system with SAP
  HANA. Still, S/4 HANA is based around its
  successor i.e. ECC (ERP Control Center) solution
  and considers it as its core technology.

SAP S/4 HANAs deployment options can be
distributed into following major categories

• 1. Public Cloud  When you choose cloud as a
  deployment option for your business, your
  deployment is managed in an SAP data center. All
  you need to do is to just pay a certain amount to
  the service provider and everything will be
  managed by them. As SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a common
  platform, you will have reduced control over it,
  and you cannot customise it.
• 2. On-Premise  Have full control on the
  environment by choosing on-premise deployment
  option. Here, all you have to do is to buy SAP
  S/4HANA, install it and then run it way you
  want. Customize it to use it as per your
  requirements. But with privileges, there comes a
  few responsibilities too. While you go for this
  option you have to be responsible for maintaining
  and taking care of any upgrades and updates.

• 3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)  This is
  considered as the most basic form of cloud
  computing service. Choosing this deployment
  option can be easily explained with an example of
  renting a car. While you rent a car, you get
  similar services as you get when you own a car
  apart from taking care of hardware material and
  maintenance of the vehicle. So, with IaaS you
  will not have to worry about maintenance as it
  also works as a bring-your-own-license (BYOL)
  model and mostly hosted through a hyperscale
  cloud provider like Amazon Web Services.
• 4. Private Cloud  One of the best SAP S/4HANA
  deployment option to choose for your business is
  the private cloud. This is delivered in the form
  of managed service. Itss like you own the cloud
  but the trained technology experts perform the
  activities for you. When you select private cloud
  deployment you get the privilege of merging the
  advantages of on-premise deployment with those of
  the cloud.
