Data lakes are a basic building block of modern analytics, machine learning and AI solutions. They help you to dismantle silos, combining data from various platforms and operating environments for open-ended investigations. Cloud-based data lakes are flexible, scalable and less expensive than traditional data warehouses. CxLink Data Lakes forms a link between SAP applications and your data lakes operated in the AWS cloud.
What is CxLink Data Lakes?
CxLink Data Lakes is a cloud-native solution that allows you to integrate SAP data with data lakes in the Amazon cloud easily and cheaply. Businesses can use this to create a single source of data for comprehensive data analysis, machine learning and AI applications that are supported by a range of web services in AWS.
When it comes to data transfer, CxLink Data Lakes uses the SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server (SLT), which has been included in SAP S/4HANA since release 1909. It allows SAP data from both on-premises systems and SAP cloud installations to be merged into data lakes that are stored in Amazon S3 instances. In this way, CxLink Data Lakes supports businesses in creating a consistent view of all data across heterogeneous SAP landscapes, and in analysing the data in a high-performance system.
CxLink Data Lakes is SAP-certified for Netweaver and SAP S/4HANA 1809 and can be obtained through AWS Marketplace or the SAP Store.
