Understanding the Role of Cloud Connector

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to Explain the role Cloud Connector plays in the SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway solution.

Cloud Connector Overview

SAP Cloud Connector serves as the link between SAP Business Technology Platform and existing on-premise systems. It combines an easy setup with a clear configuration of the systems that are exposed to SAP Business Technology Platform.

SAP Cloud Connector runs as on-premise agent in a secured network and acts as a reverse invoke proxy between the on-premise network and SAP Business Technology Platform. Due to its reverse invoke support, you don't need to configure the on-premise firewall to allow external access from the cloud to internal systems.

A single Cloud Connector supports connectivity with multiple back-end SAP systems.

The following video provides an overview of SAP Cloud Connector.
