SAP Object Store offers a scalable, cloud-based solution for storing unstructured data, such as documents, images, and backups, providing seamless integration with SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) applications. By enabling businesses to centralize file storage while maintaining compliance and access control, SAP Object Store simplifies data management and enhances application performance.
This article explores SAP Object Store’s key features, benefits, and strategic use cases, and how it supports digital transformation across enterprise environments.
What is SAP Object Store?
The SAP Object Store service within the SAP BTP landscape empowers users to store and manage business objects, including their creation, upload, download, and deletion over time. It allows application developers to access critical storage space for business objects and provision an instance of the service as needed for storage replication and management.
By operating within the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) layer, the SAP Object Store service enables users to manage objects within their SAP, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments. For instances that require a large volume of storage resources, the service simplifies the process, allowing users to manage accounts, resources, and security-related configurations directly in the system.
Streamlining Object Storage Processes
With a secure, scalable, and highly available object storage solution, the SAP Object Store service empowers users to store objects within their cloud provider of choice, including Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud. Unified access to any object store within the cloud environment simplifies both the storage and retrieval of large files and Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) from critical enterprise applications.
By integrating seamlessly with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), it ensures that unstructured data, such as documents, images, backups, and logs, can be efficiently managed, securely stored, and easily accessed by various SAP services and custom applications.
Key Features and Benefits

- Amazon Web Services S3 buckets
- Google Cloud Storage buckets
- Microsoft Azure Blob containers
Flexibility and scalability
Leverage highly scalable storage features to store, manage, and optimize business objects within SAP Cloud Foundry and Kyma applications.
High system availability
Access the maximum amount of storage for core business objects without interruptions to existing services.
Durable technology
Maintain the durability of key objects as the underlying technologies provide storage replication functionality.
Navigating the Object Store Infrastructure
As a scalable and cloud-native storage solution, SAP Object Store allows enterprises to handle everything from documents and media files to backups and logs, all while maintaining seamless integration with SAP applications.
With support for REST APIs and efficient access protocols, users can simplify data storage workflows, reduce infrastructure overhead, and ensure reliable access across various applications. Maintaining a clear understanding of the Object Store’s structure, including buckets, objects, and access policies, enables organizations to optimize performance and maintain data integrity within their SAP ecosystem.
