right as soon as you see aws and azure are competing against sap and salesforce, you know they’re not measuring what most of HN thinks of as “cloud”.

- majewsky 4y agoYou are right that most of what SAP does is in the SaaS market, so not "cloud" as in IaaS. SAP _does_ have IaaS offerings, but it's not something that's open to everyone. This is one example: https://news.sap.com/2018/03/sap-hana-enterprise-cloud-a-strong-pillar-of-saps-strategy/ https://news.sap.com/2018/03/sap-hana-enterprise-cloud-a-str... > SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud [...] is SAP’s private managed cloud. It was launched in 2013 to help customers accelerate their adoption of SAP HANA. This is a cloud environment in the narrower sense, but it's only open to pre-existing customers as far as I know. I also don't know if they're still accepting new customers or not. Source/Disclosure: I work at SAP in Cloud Infrastructure. Don't ask me for details on our product portfolio though, I'm too low-level for that.
