Episode 104: Unleash next generation hybrid integrations with Edge Integration Cell
In this episode of SAP BTP Talk, February’ 2024 we will talk about the new addition made to the SAP Integration Suite family ‘Edge Integration Cell’ that was announced as Generally Available at TechEd last year. We will discuss how Edge Integration Cell offers a hybrid integration runtime which enables enterprises to manage APIs and run integration scenarios within their private landscapes.
The Edge Integration Cell enables the processing of data within a private landscape. This allows sender and receiver systems to exchange data without passing through the internet, as the data is hosted exclusively in an on-premise environment. The cloud-based environment of SAP Integration Suite is utilized to design and monitor integration content.
