SUSE Linux Enterprise: The Leading OS for Business

SUSE Linux Enterprise helps customers lower costs, manage complexity and mitigate risk, clearly making it the best operating system for business today.

 

November 16, 2007CIO

In a little more than a year since its launch, SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 from Novell has become recognized as the market's leading Linux platform for mission-critical computing from the desktop to the data center. We set out to build it with one purpose—to make it the best platform for business—and judging by the market's reaction, it is realizing that vision.

Why does HSBC run mission-critical banking applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise? Why is PSA Peugeot Citroën deploying one of the largest corporate desktop Linux implementations in history? The answer is, SUSE Linux Enterprise is the best operating platform for business today.

True Desktop-to-Data Center Platform

SUSE Linux Enterprise offers a comprehensive suite of products built on a single code base. The platform addresses business needs from the smallest thin-client devices to the world's most powerful high-performance computing and mainframe servers. SUSE Linux Enterprise offers common management tools and technology certifications across the platform, and each product is enterprise-class. SUSE Linux Enterprise provides more than a cute desktop product or a basic server offering. It is the only Linux platform for enterprise computing, and it is now replacing Unix and Windows as well.

Integrates Best with Your Existing Infrastructure

New solutions must fit into your existing infrastructure with minimal effort. When you plan to introduce or expand Linux within your organization, consider that only SUSE Linux Enterprise works best with Windows and is recommended by Microsoft. Because of Novell's partnership with Microsoft, we offer customers the highest level of interoperability in critical areas such as virtualization, systems management, identity management and document format compatibility. This technical collaboration enables greater efficiency with reduced risk, allowing you to focus on business innovation and growth—not system maintenance. SAP's endorsement of SUSE Linux Enterprise also means SAP customers can run their most mission-critical applications on Linux, optimized and fully supported.

Best-Engineered Platform for Mission-Critical Computing

Novell's unique development and testing methodology, AutoBuild, ensures that our commercial Linux software meets the highest technical standards for reliability and integrity. With AutoBuild, Novell compiles SUSE Linux Enterprise across all major hardware architectures in less time than it takes other Linux distributors to compile on just one architecture. That means SUSE Linux Enterprise is more thoroughly tested and optimized, with fewer bugs and security flaws, than any other Linux distribution. With better code quality, you reduce risk and gain a more efficient IT infrastructure.
