“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.

“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 bundling of the SUSE high-availability component offered an economic way to support our requirements for always-on SAP systems, compared with competitive offerings.”
“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 of the process, we expect the proportion to hit 35%, making SUSE Linux Enterprise a truly strategic platform for ARaymond."
“The SAP HANA database means all the relevant information is available immediately. We can automatically generate and file invoices, and our monthly charges and regular payments run more smoothly, thanks to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.”
“Offering SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for z Systems for seminars has definitely helped to boost the acceptance of the mainframe platform among students.”

“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.”
“Using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications to support our SAP HANA environment on IBM Power Systems has enabled us to take full advantage of lightning-fast sales and inventory analytics, helping us optimize services and offer customers the best possible shopping experience.”
“What initially attracted us to SUSE Enterprise Storage was the sheer flexibility it provides. Software-defined storage frees you completely from the physical constraints of traditional storage environments. We were won over by the fact that SUSE Enterprise Storage is fully supported by SUSE. We didn’t want the pressure or risk that comes with managing open source software independently – we wanted the reassurance of having a partner behind us. What’s more, having used SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to support operations for many years, we know from experience that both SUSE software and support are outstanding.”
