Oakland, Calif. 10/12/2001 Today, SUSE Linux, the international
technology leader and provider of Open Source solutions, announced the
immediate availability of its highest enterprise-capable Linux distribution,
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 7, based on the latest Linux kernel 2.4
and optimized for deployment in high-performance servers. Consistently
expanding on its commitment to propel Linux into the enterprise, SUSEs
announcement was strengthened by support from leading hardware and software
vendors including Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ), Oracle and SAP.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 7, which was pre-announced last month, provides
customers a Linux platform of software, services and industry standard
hardware that is imperative to running a stable and secure Linux operating
system across the enterprise. Furthermore, the Enterprise Server 7 enables
the implementation of e-mail, Internet, and application services, as well as
file and print services in heterogeneous networks (UNIX, Windows 9x/NT/2000,
Novell Netware, MacOS).
"Running on industry standard Compaq ProLiantTM servers, SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 7 provides one of the most robust and scalable Linux
platforms available for delivering applications to the enterprise," said
Rick Becker, vice president, Business Development and Software Marketing,
Compaq Industry Standard Server Group. "Together, SUSE and Compaq are
enabling enterprise customers to deploy Linux in their heterogeneous
operating system environments, while maintaining the same level of
high-availability, reliability, storage capabilities and security they
expect from enterprise computing environments."
Adding further strength to SUSE Enterprise Server 7 is its certification
for Oracle 9i and SAP's E-Business solution mySAP.com.
