“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.”

“Choosing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to run our SAP technology was the correct decision for our business—we’re now on the right track for further successful expansion.”

“We have some other systems in the migration pipeline now because our experience suggests that Linux is generally more stable and easier to manage than Windows. Before the SAP HANA project began, perhaps 2% of our servers were on Linux, whereas today we are at about 20%. At the end …

“With SUSE Enterprise Storage, we have built a very high-performing and scalable storage landscape at a fraction of the cost than we would have been able to with traditional storage systems.”

"Having chosen the Linux route in principle, we chose Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and ETERNUS storage with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server because this operating system is certified for SAP applications, and because there is a very large user community that has successfully deployed the SAP and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server combination …

“As SUSE Linux Enterprise Server can be installed on any industry-standard server, it keeps our options open for the future. The combination of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and the Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers has improved transaction response times, enhancing user efficiency.”

“We considered that the Linux environment would be much easier and lower cost to support than a proprietary UNIX solution. We also wanted to avoid vendor lock-in to specific hardware. This combination justified the potentially more difficult migration, which in practice was completed easily within one week.”

"I can get the supporting documentation for an audit done in a half hour with SUSE Manager. Previously, it used to take me at least a day. SUSE Manager is a lifesaver."

“We find that SUSE is often ahead of the other Linux vendors in introducing support for new technologies. This means we can get the benefits of cutting-edge technology without the usual risks of being an early adopter.”

“With SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for z Systems, we get excellent performance and bullet-proof reliability—plus it’s easy and cost-effective to manage.”

“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.”

“SUSE Studio removes any ‘what-ifs’ from the development process, and has made our lives much easier… so we can focus on refining what we do to even higher levels of efficiency.”

“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!”

“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications lets us run both the application server and database on a single instance, reducing the server footprint and minimizing operating costs.”

“With SUSE OpenStack Cloud, we can provide scientists with their own virtual machines in our private cloud in as little as 10 minutes, enabling them to deploy the scientific workflows themselves, as and when they want.”
