Helping IBM Accelerate Its Customers Time to Value
It sure is nice to have customers who are happy with your product. But even nicer is hearing from your customers that their customers are happy too. Recently I had a chance to chat with Jim Lawrie, Product Manager and Aman Lalla, Software Development Analyst in IBM’s Information Management group. I learned that by delivering the Smart Analytics System in a new format as part of the SUSE Appliance Program, IBM customers are able to get business insights and make smart decisions with technology that is easy to implement out of the box.

Appliance Toolkit (ATK) Helper Guide
SUSE® Studio™ Onsite and the SUSE Lifecycle Management Server connect to the Internet as a default to synchronize to the Novell® Customer Center (NCC). At the Novell Customer Center they access repositories of packages and updates for SUSE Linux Enterprise.
You can use the Subscription Management Tool (SMT) to override the default and do the following:
- Minimize the bandwidth for downloading packages
- Prevent SUSE Studio and SUSE Lifecycle Management Server from connecting to the Internet
then there are a few more things to consider during the setup of all components.
This guide explains issues you need to consider during setup if you choose either of these options.
This guide does not replace the installation documentation for the components.
Please read and follow the instructions in the product documentation. The purpose of this guide is to provide additional hints and tips.
