Over the past few months, I have got to know a lot of customers who are trying out Cloud for Analytics (C4A) and would like to connect C4A to their on-premise/remote HANA systems. The main benefits are:
- High-level of data privacy. Data is not moved from corporate network to the cloud at all.
- Online/real-time data access to on-premise HANA
In order to achieve that, a reverse proxy needs to be setup in the corporate network. It does take quite a few steps to properly setup a reverse proxy for C4A, so I have published a how-to guide on setting up SAP Web Dispatcher as a reverse proxy for C4A and HANA:
How to Setup Connection to a Remote HANA System for SAP Cloud for Analytics via SAP Web Dispatcher
I hope you will like it, and let me know if you have any question.
