European organizations are placing increasing emphasis on digital sovereignty in their SAP environments. The focus is on greater control over business-critical systems, increased independence in operational decisions, and a more conscious approach to handling sensitive data. A modern on-premises infrastructure provides an essential foundation for achieving these goals.
At the same time, performance remains essential. The PRIMERGY RX4770 M8 from Fsas Technologies recently set a world record in the SAP Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) benchmark in the 4-socket category for systems with 80 million initial documents, achieving 53,500 users and 258,200 aSAPS, providing a powerful foundation for sovereign SAP operations.
Sovereign SAP operations are becoming a European priority
Across Europe, SAP customers are rethinking how they operate their most business-critical workloads. Regulatory requirements, resilience concerns, and the strategic importance of data are all driving one central question: how to retain control over SAP environments without compromising scalability and performance.
Digital sovereignty in SAP is not abstract. It comes down to practical considerations:
- Control over where workloads run
- Governance of sensitive business data
- Independence in operational decisions
- Flexibility to evolve SAP landscapes over time
For many organizations, these requirements are reinforcing the role of on-premises SAP infrastructure as a key part of their future IT strategy, be it across the complete landscape or embedded in hybrid cloud operations.
Why on-premises remains essential
Cloud adoption continues, but it does not meet all enterprise needs equally, especially for large, mission-critical SAP environments with high degrees of customization. On-premises infrastructure remains highly relevant because it provides:
- Full operational control, including lifecycle and management
- Clear data governance, aligned with internal and regulatory requirements
- Predictable performance for business-critical processes
- Architectural flexibility tailored to enterprise-specific needs
This is not about reverting to legacy models. It is about adopting modern, high-performance on-premises platforms that can support SAP S/4HANA while enabling more controlled and resilient operations. In this context, on-premises infrastructure is not just an option; it is a foundation for sovereign SAP operations.
What matters, however, is how this infrastructure is implemented and operated in practice. Control over systems and data is not determined solely by where workloads run. It is achieved through the right combination of architecture, scalability, and operational governance.
PRIMEFLEX for SAP: A structured platform approach
To translate sovereignty goals into reality, organizations need more than high-quality hardware. They need a consistent and scalable platform approach.
PRIMEFLEX SAP solutions from Fsas Technologies are designed to provide that foundation. They support SAP environments with a focus on:
- Scalability to handle growing data volumes and workloads
- Resilience to support business continuity
- Operational consistency across complex SAP landscapes
- Deployment flexibility aligned with enterprise strategies
This solution-oriented approach helps move beyond fragmented infrastructure decisions toward a coherent SAP platform architecture. For organizations, this means greater control over operations, closer alignment with compliance and governance requirements, and increased flexibility in the evolution and deployment of their SAP landscapes.
However, one factor remains essential: proven performance at scale. This is exactly where the PRIMERGY RX4770 M8 provides compelling evidence.
PRIMERGY RX4770 M8: A performance foundation for SAP
On June 1, 2026, it achieved a world record result in the SAP Q2C benchmark for 4-socket systems with 80 million initial documents, delivering:
- 53,500 benchmark users
- 258,200 aSAPS throughput
This benchmark is particularly meaningful because it reflects a combination of transactional and analytical workloads, providing a realistic representation of the demands placed on modern SAP environments.
As the top-performing system in its category, the RX4770 M8 demonstrates its strengths in high-throughput SAP processes, the processing of large data volumes, and stable performance even under heavy utilization. At the same time, it provides the foundation required to support future growth and increasing business demands. For details, please see this report.
Conclusion
SAP infrastructure decisions are evolving from purely technical choices to strategic business enablers. European organizations are increasingly looking for ways to balance control, flexibility, and performance in their SAP environments.
On-premises infrastructure plays a central role in achieving this balance. With PRIMEFLEX solutions for SAP, Fsas Technologies provides a platform foundation to support scalable and resilient SAP operations. And with PRIMERGY RX4770 M8, this foundation is backed by world record benchmark performance.
For organizations, the message is clear: gaining greater control over business-critical SAP environments does not require compromising on performance. Modern platform approaches such as PRIMEFLEX for SAP make it possible to achieve both and create the foundation for long-term, future-ready SAP operating models.
