The Customer Data Center Edition of RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition (PCE), is a specialized deployment option that allows businesses to run their SAP S/4HANA Cloud solution on dedicated hardware within their own data centers or colocation facilities. This offering is designed to address specific business needs, such as data sovereignty, low-latency performance, and compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

The RISE CDC environment is fully BUILT and managed by SAP and its technology partners (at this time, they are Dell Technologies, HPE, and Lenovo) to deliver Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) capabilities.

This RISE implementation is treated no differently than a RISE implementation on a hyperscaler, just that all data remains within the customer’s data center, addressing concerns related to data residency and sovereignty.
