“Being able to run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on the IBM z196 and the zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension gives us the chance to reduce complexity and respond quickly to business needs, from a platform that meets customer expectations for performance and stability. The fact that we can use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on the IBM zBX at no additional cost makes this even better.”
“YaST is extremely convenient and highly user-friendly—we really value the graphical interface, which makes it quick and easy to install and configure new virtual servers. In general terms, we have also found the SUSE documentation to be of very high quality, which makes it easier for us to resolve minor issues for ourselves.”
“All of the software that we use is fully supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. We are very happy with the comprehensive administration tools and the fact that it’s easy to integrate our own applications into the package management.”
“Today, we prefer to deploy new SAP HANA systems on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on IBM Power Systems—it has become our platform of choice.”
“The unique advantage of SUSE Manager is that it can manage all of these instances regardless of their hardware platform. In fact, it can even manage other Linux distributions too—including a Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment that we inherited from one of our customers.”
“Deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and moving to a virtualized environment has reduced our operational costs by an estimated 50 percent, which is a huge saving.”
“Since implementing the new architecture, we have experienced no downtime and have not once had to restart the server during working hours—we are achieving close to ‘five nines’ availability.”
“There was really no alternative to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in our eyes—it offered exceptional stability, and we knew we would be able to rely on top-quality support from SUSE.”
“We have always been impressed by how well SUSE Linux Enterprise Server integrates with the other technologies we use. That integration, combined with SUSE’s future strategy around products like SUSE OpenStack Cloud and SUSE Enterprise Storage, gives us confidence that our investment in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server will continue to pay off well into the future.”
“More and more, online banking is becoming simply banking, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server provides a stable platform for us to meet consumer demand, as well as compete with our newer competitors in the online space.”
“Our first reason for choosing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server was the fact that SAP develops its software on this platform, so you are always first to get new features.”
“In the past, implementing software systems was a complicated process, requiring considerable time and manual intervention. SUSE Studio takes a large part of the effort out of software deployment and helps us get customers up-and-running with our systems much faster.”
“With SUSE Studio, we have one master image and one system for managing everything, which has considerably streamlined the deployment process.”
“SUSE Manager gives us a single point of control for applying all the necessary patches to selected servers and for scheduling those updates for times we’d rather be sleeping than working overtime!”
“For us, the investment into SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on IBM POWER clearly paid off. We are extremely satisfied with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as an operating system—our virtual servers are fast and stable, with no requirement for extensive performance tuning or reboots.”
