Technical overview

Datavard Storage Management (SM) is a gateway between SAP and external storages.

In the most cases the secondary DB connection, which is defined in SAP, is used to access an external storage.

An alternative way is when SAP accesses an external storage (special Big Data technologies) through the intermediate SM module.
