What delivery model does SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition use?

The delivery model of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition leverages a hybrid approach that combines the benefits of both cloud and on-premise solutions. This means that organizations can enjoy the flexibility, scalability, and innovation associated with cloud technology while also having the control and security features often required in a private on-premise environment.

This hybrid model allows businesses to run their critical applications on their own infrastructure while benefiting from regular updates and enhancements provided by SAP. The integration of cloud capabilities enables businesses to adapt and grow while maintaining a degree of customization and stability that on-premise solutions offer.

In contrast, the fully on-premise model would restrict organizations to their own hardware and resources without the flexibility of cloud solutions. A public cloud-only model would not meet the needs of organizations requiring a higher level of security and compliance that a private cloud setup provides. Lastly, a standalone desktop application does not align with the enterprise-level scalability and integration features that SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition offers; such applications typically lack the extensive capabilities and collaborative benefits supported by the hybrid model.
