SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications available on IBM Cloud
SUSE, in its recent announcement, has released that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications will be made available as an operating system for SAP solutions on the IBM Cloud. In addition, IBM Cloud is now a SUSE Cloud Service Provider, giving customers a supported open-source platform that makes them more agile and reduces operating costs as they only pay for what they use.
Commenting on this, Phillip Cockrell, SUSE Vice-President of Worldwide Alliance Sales, said, "Customers need access to a secure and scalable cloud platform to run mission-critical workloads, one with the speed and agility of IBM Cloud, one of the largest open public cloud deployments in the world."
He added, “As public cloud grows increasingly more popular for production workloads, SUSE and IBM are offering enterprise-grade open-source software fully supported on IBM Cloud. Whether big iron or public cloud, SUSE is committed to giving our customers the environments they need to succeed."
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications on the IBM Cloud will enable customers to quickly build, deliver and deploy business-critical workloads in SAP NetWeaver and SAP HANA in the cloud. In addition, customers can integrate their SAP applications running on SUSE Linux Enterprise across different hardware platforms, including IBM Power, into a hybrid or private cloud deployment. Customers will benefit from IBM's global network of nearly 60 cloud data centers across six continents as well as access to the rich IBM Cloud catalog of services, including AI, data and analytics, IoT, serverless and more.
Jay Jubran, Director of Offering Management, IBM Cloud, said, "IBM Cloud is designed to give enterprises the power and performance they need to manage their mission-critical business applications. IBM provides a spectrum of fully managed and Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions to support SAP HANA applications, including SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as well as new bare metal servers with up to 8 TB of memory."
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications will be made available on the IBM Cloud in the fourth quarter of 2017.
