290 Suse Testimonials

“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for z Systems was launched as long ago as 2000, so it’s a highly mature enterprise operating system.”

“Using Xen virtualization with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server meant that we could buy two large physical servers instead of 12 smaller ones—saving at least 60 percent on initial acquisition costs alone.”

“With SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications as the dependable foundation for our SAP HANA platform, we are in a strong position to provide decision-support services for our government clients.”

“SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service makes it simple to monitor and control our extensive POS estate. As software deployment and maintenance are largely automated, we are able to spend less time on routine operations and can dedicate our resources to more business-critical tasks. In this way, we can deliver even better service to our customers.”

“Choosing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and using virtualization gave us a lower-cost, high-availability platform that is fully supported by SAP. This enabled us to have a single point of contact for all support issues.”

“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.”

"Since moving to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, our uptime has been insane. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server keeps us nimble and flexible, so we’re better able to meet the demands of the business and react quickly to a changing marketplace."

“Now that we have proven the effectiveness of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in the healthcare sector, we are looking at other industries that could benefit, such as education and government. We hope to focus more on Linux solutions in the future, so we plan to recommend this SUSE solution to clients in many other sectors.”

“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.”

"For mission-critical applications, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for z Systems is an excellent platform, combining openness and stability."

“Building a history of stable SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operation for the SOA platform will lead to further expansion and use in the bank’s other basic operations.”

“Building the SOA on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server this time required far less TCO than building it on the same middleware as z/OS. With IA servers, we would need to keep about 20 % of the resources free while running the system, but z Systems will continue running even when 100 % of resources are being used, which was another benefit.”

"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."

"SUSE Linux Enterprise Server allows us to leverage inexpensive mid-range commodity hardware, and by using VMware to virtualize our Linux servers, we can quickly respond to the needs of the business by adding new servers in no time."

“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.”
