SAP NS2 and Google team to deliver secure cloud services to the public sector

SAP SE’s independent U.S. subsidiary SAP National Security Services Inc., which sells software and services for government infrastructure and national security agencies, said Thursday it has formed a new strategic partnership with Google LLC.

The alliance between SAP NS2 and Google’s cloud platform will provide advanced cloud and data capabilities for businesses in the public sector that need to comply with Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program regulations, the companies said.

Under the deal, SAP’s HANA in-memory database and SAP NS2’s cloud delivery services will be integrated with Google Cloud Platform’s machine learning tools and network infrastructure. That will enable businesses to run their most critical applications on Google’s cloud, while public sector workers will be able to access data insights in real time from a single cloud service.

“Our alliance with Google Cloud provides our customers with the choice to leverage GCP’s rich network infrastructure and suite of operational capabilities for the public sector,” Mark Testoni, president and chief executive officer of SAP NS2, said in a statement. “Our customers may now access the full power of SAP HANA to innovate in a secure cloud environment, further bolstered by Google Cloud’s world class security and operations capabilities.”

The alliance is not unique. SAP NS2 forged a similar partnership with Google’s rival Amazon Web Services Inc. last June. That partnership fused SAP’s HANA Cloud with the AWS GovCloud, enabling customers in the U.S. national security and critical infrastructure sectors to migrate to Amazon’s cloud quickly and securely while ensuring they stay in compliance with FedRAMP and other regulations.
