  • Intel version: Your Mission-critical Applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise Solution Brochure
    Mission-critical Applications Applications are the lifeblood of today’s businesses. Your company’s success depends on applications—whether they are for enterprise resource management, supply chain management, customer relationship management, or any of the other mission-critical functions that fuel your success. If your enterprise is like most, you have a multi-year investment in a number of key applications. Many of your IT decisions are made with the goal of ensuring that they continue to run reliably and securely. Historically, to achieve the performance and scalability required by many of these applications, organizations deployed them on UNIX*. Unfortunately, the reliability and security of UNIX deployments came at a high price in terms of software and hardware acquisition and maintenance costs. In today’s enterprise, UNIX systems have among the highest cost of ownership relative to their performance.

  • Intel version: Make the Move from UNIX to Linux: Now Is the Time Technical White Paper
    Executive Summary For the past 15 years or more, UNIX* has established a history of solid reliability in the data center. It typically runs mission-critical applications, including back-end databases, and has a reputation for good performance, high reliability, proven scalability and trustworthy security. But these benefits come at a high total cost of ownership (TCO). UNIX generally requires expensive proprietary software and hardware as well as budget-draining annual maintenance costs. These expenses have been a key factor in the recent, widespread migrations to other platforms, specifically Linux*.

Deployment Guide

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Deployment Approach Guide
    This document is intended for IT professionals and managers who are considering deploying SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server. Novell® has had a number of requests from customers looking for help specifically in moving from Red Hat Enterprise Linux to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. In addition to what customers have told us, we will share insights that Novell has gained, having helped numerous customers transition to the most open, most interoperable and most manageable Linux platform. The focus of this document will be on deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in environments that previously ran Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This document will highlight key differences between the two platforms, and outline a general deployment plan. After reading this document, current users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux should understand how to become proficient with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and what a successful migration entails. An in-depth treatment of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server administration is outside the scope of this document. We encourage users to participate in Novell training modules that explore these topics in depth.

Competitive Information

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server vs. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Technical White Paper
    Migrating to Linux* from a RISC/UNIX* Environment For the past 15 years and longer, RISC/UNIX* platforms, such as AIX on POWER, HP-UX on PA-RISC, and Solaris on SPARC, have established a history of solid reliability in the data center. RISC/UNIX typically runs mission-critical applications, including back-end databases, and has a reputation for good performance, high reliability, proven scalability and trustworthy security. But these benefits come at a high total cost of ownership (TCO). RISC/UNIX generally requires expensive proprietary software and hardware as well as budget-draining annual maintenance costs. These expenses are a key factor in recent, widespread migrations to other platforms, specifically Linux*.
