Overview

This document defines the minimum infrastructure sizing required to execute the BVC on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) using Kyma runtime environments. Three independent environments must be provisioned:

• One Connect Smart Gateway — real-time SAP data extraction and streaming
• One Connect Agentic Semantic Knowledge (ASK) — AI-powered semantic querying over SAP Data Products
• SAP HANA Cloud — in-memory persistence layer for Business Data Products

Additionally, the following SAP subscriptions are required to deploy the agent for the BVC:

• SAP AI Launchpad
• SAP AI Core

Note

Production environments will require larger allocations based on transaction volumes and SLA requirements. Sizing specifications below reflect minimum requirements for a Proof of Concept.

1. One Connect Smart Gateway on BTP Kyma

The One Connect Smart Gateway is deployed on Kubernetes within the Kyma runtime. It receives data and metadata from the SAP Data Modeler, translates them into Kafka Schemas and Topics, and serializes messages in Avro format. It is the only SAP-verified technology capable of extracting real-time data and metadata from SAP.

The selection of the T-Shirt size will depend on the number of records that will be processed during the BVC. For the initial steps of the Proof of Concept we recommend selecting the X-Small or Small Size.

2. One Connect ASK on BTP Kyma

One Connect Agentic Semantic Knowledge (ASK) enables AI-powered, natural-language querying over governed SAP Data Products. ASK is deployed as a separate Kyma cluster and requires its own dedicated compute, memory, and storage resources.

Note

CU figures are estimates based on the minimum PoC configuration. Actual billing depends on your BTP subscription plan and entitlement configuration. Contact your SAP Account Executive for accurate cost projections.

3. SAP HANA Cloud

SAP HANA Cloud provides the in-memory persistence layer for One Connect Business Data Products. For the Business Value Challenge Proof of Concept, the Minimum preset is sufficient to validate real-time data flows and business analytics across all four pre-packaged Business Data Products.

4. Required SAP Subscriptions

For the Business Value Challenge, the following SAP subscriptions are required in order to deploy the agent tailored to the specific business use case:

• SAP AI Launchpad — a centralized interface that enables users to manage, monitor, and govern AI scenarios across the organization. It provides visibility into AI models, lifecycle management, and performance tracking, ensuring transparency and control over AI operations.
• SAP AI Core — the execution layer for AI workloads. It allows developers to build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale in a secure and scalable environment, supporting integration with SAP and non-SAP data sources.
