Abstract
This SAP Edge Integration Cell on ThinkSystem V4 reference architecture presents design considerations, operational models, and example configurations.
Enterprises today face an accelerating pace of digital transformation, driven by an ever-growing number of applications, devices, and data sources.
Cloud-first strategies can deliver scalability and innovation but many organizations continue to require on-premises systems to meet regulatory, compliance, latency, or business continuity requirements.
SAP Integration Suite enables organizations to unify applications, data, and processes across hybrid and multi-cloud landscapes.
SAP Edge Integration Cell extends these capabilities with a secure, containerized runtime for executing integration flows locally, supporting continuous operations in low-connectivity environments, ensuring data residency compliance, and enabling near real-time processing close to business operations.
Lenovo ThinkSystem servers provide the optimal infrastructure foundation for SAP EIC deployments.
