“Based on my positive experience of SUSE’s support and engineering resources in a previous role—in particular, the ease of migration from Microsoft—I chose SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.”

“Thanks to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, along with the IBM Power Systems servers’ built-in virtualization capabilities, we can set up, configure and roll out new SAP HANA systems faster. Previously, we had to implement new hardware when we provisioned new systems typically costing around EUR 20,000. Now, we simply launch a new instance, saving time, effort, and money. Being able to provision new SAP HANA systems on demand enables us to react faster to ever changing demand, accelerating innovation.”

“We had limited in-house experience of working with Linux solutions before this project. With SUSE Manager that doesn’t matter, as we now have a single graphical environment with which to manage our diverse IT landscape. Employees with no Linux-specific knowledge can apply and manage patches using SUSE Manager.”

“Supported by this stable, secure, high-performance architecture from SUSE, we’re now on the right track for further expansion, so we can serve even more customers across Egypt.”

“Thanks to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, we’re getting the proper IT quality and support that our business needs to run smoothly—now and as we expand in the future.”

"The new SUSE environment implemented by B1 Systems effectively decouples our software release cycles from the hardware refresh lifecycle, giving us much greater flexibility and the ability to deliver new functionality at the point-of-sale much more quickly."

“In the past, staff needed to monitor installation of new branch servers and make sure that everything was working. Today, with just two clicks, the solution automatically creates tailored installation instructions for a new server including all required application configurations. As soon as the box is plugged into the network, all of the required software is installed by SUSE AutoYaST, complete with virtualization, without any user interaction, finished in 45 minutes per install. This automation helps reduce errors and ensures standardized installations, speeding up the process significantly.”

“Running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on the mainframe means that a few skilled people can manage many servers.”

“If there’s a problem in the SAP environment, we don’t have to worry about whether it’s the application or the operating system. We can just contact SAP and they will work with SUSE to solve it. Combined with the general reliability of the platform, this gives us a lot of peace of mind.”

“Adopting SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as our preferred platform for clustered SAP environments solved the reliability challenges we had been experiencing.”

“With SUSE Manager, we can assure our clients that updates to their SAP environments are managed professionally and in accordance with their own corporate standards. Compliance is a vital issue for many of our clients; SUSE Manager gives us a very valuable capability to tell them exactly what was patched and when. As we continue to build our reputation as the go-to professionals for hosting enterprise SAP systems, it is important that we can demonstrate that we take security and compliance just as seriously as we do operational excellence.”

“SUSE Manager centralizes all the information about the numerous different OS builds that we maintain on behalf of our clients, making it easy to understand a complex landscape and ensure consistency.”

“The retail industry is evolving rapidly, and our SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service platform ensures that we can react with agility to meet our clients’ requirements.”

“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server makes it simple to manage the thin-client environment: now that we have full control over the installed software, we are saving—at a conservative estimate— 20 hours per week in IT support time.”

“We also expect to make savings of approximately US$4,000 each year in electricity costs, because the thin-client environment consumes far less power and requires far less cooling. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server makes it simple to manage the thin-client environment: now that we have full control over the installed software, we are saving—at a conservative estimate—20 hours per week in IT support time.”
