Data Center Locations

The below map shows the data center locations where the selected SAP cloud services are currently operated.

This overview is meant for information purposes only. It displays data centers that currently operate SAP cloud services. Please note that the cloud solutions portfolio from SAP will undergo incremental integration into the data center map. SAP cloud services may as well be enabled for deployment on other than the displayed data centers. For some SAP cloud services, a customer can select the data center during the implementation of the service. SAP deploys secondary data centers (not listed here) in the region of the primary data center for backup and disaster recovery purposes. SAP may change this overview at its discretion. For more information, please contact your SAP representative.

How we operate our data centers

In SAP data centers, we take measures that are based on industry and technology standards.

Data centers and sustainability

Environmental impact of our data centers

To increase sustainability in our operations, the data centers located in our headquarters in Germany and North America are ISO14001-certified and we implemented an ISO14001-certified environmental management system (EMS) at more than 50 SAP sites worldwide. This helps us manage our data center operations in a systematic and environmentally conscious way.

100% renewable electricity

To minimize the negative impact of our internal and external data centers, SAP-owned data centers run with 100% renewable electricity. We achieve a “green cloud” by investing in high-quality, EKO energy-certified Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) to foster renewable energy generation. This allows us to compensate our data center electricity consumption emissions.

Cooling optimization

During the operation of IT appliances, waste heat is generated which can cause the devices to malfunction when the temperature of the environment falls outside their recommended operating range. SAP has increased the intake temperature to 27 ℃ in all our data centers, except Newton Square 1, which needs further air flow optimization for adequate cooling.

Effective use of water

We use indirect adiabatic cooling in all our owned data centers, as well as a closed-water circuit to minimize water consumption for cooling our server racks. Adequate cooling is crucial to make sure IT devices work in the ASHRAE recommended range. With an indirect adiabatic cooling system, we get the advantages of both air cooling systems and simple evaporative cooling.

Data Center FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

A data center has equipment associated with supplying power, controlling temperature, and suppressing fires. An indicator of the security level is provided by the tier or rating as defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in its standard ANSI/TIA-942. Requirements of the highest tier or rating were the guiding principles in the design of the SAP data center.

From fire and data breach to hardware defect, our data centers are protected against many hazards. At regular intervals, SAP’s data center technology and infrastructure are tested and certified.

SAP cloud services are provided in various data centers worldwide. For detailed information, see the data center location map above.

The key to success of SAP data centers lies in the comprehensive design of every individual component and within the redundancy of critical components. Learn more about power supply, cooling, and controlled access.

Electronic components – especially processors – generate heat when in operation. If the heat does not dissipate, a processor’s efficiency decreases to the point where the component could fail in extreme cases. Therefore, cooling is essential for data center operations.
