“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server has always been a highly reliable operating system that delivers excellent performance. The inclusion of Xen virtualization technology made it an ideal choice of platform for our SAP environment.”

“We originally chose SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in part on the strength of support we have received from SUSE. The quality of technical support from SUSE is excellent, and helps us to keep critical systems available to the organization around the clock. And with our licensing agreement, we have a single point of contact for coordinated support services from SUSE and SAP, whether the issue lies in the operating system or the application layer.”

“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.”

“At that time, we had some Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments running on the IFL. However, in terms of both availability and database performance, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for z Systems and LinuxONE was clearly the better option in terms of an end-to-end solution.”

“With SUSE OpenStack Cloud, our customers can configure new private cloud environments rapidly and easily, and flex the resources up and down in a matter of seconds as their requirements change. One obvious use case is for testing and development, but we also have customers deploying production systems.”

“We believe that combining colocated infrastructure with SUSE OpenStack Cloud gives us a unique proposition in the German market.”

“By improving availability and reducing maintenance costs, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server helps us deliver a higher level of service, as well as better value for our customers.”

“The mainframe has relatively high acquisition costs. However—thanks in part to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for z Systems and LinuxONE—it is highly cost-effective in terms of the long-term TCO, because it enables us to serve a large and varied customer base with just a small internal team.”

“The partnership between SUSE and Fujitsu is very strategic, which means that the integration between all of the software components in our environment extends straight down through the stack.”

“What makes the iHANA offering unique is our ability to migrate clients from SAP R/3 to our managed services platform, and at a later date convert the environment to the SAP HANA platform over a Gigabit Ethernet connection—a fast, risk-free process.”

“Today, we feel very comfortable using Linux. Once it’s up and running, it’s exceptionally stable, and there is little that we need to do to manage and maintain it. Compared with our experience of other operating systems, we’ve found that the stability of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications means it fades into the background—helping us focus on value-added service development.”

“Using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with Xen virtualization keeps everything stable and minimizes the need for maintenance.”

“Moving to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for z Systems was comparable in price to continuing with AIX. Moreover, it was less expensive than running Linux on other platforms such as IBM Power servers or x86-architecture machines.”

“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications is an extremely secure, fast and stable platform, which means that planning and sales analyses reveal trends instantly.”

“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.”
