"More customers choose HP as their partner to deploy Novell products than any other infrastructure vendor. And looking forward HP is extremely bullish on the future of SUSE Linux Enterprise as a key component of HP Adaptive Infrastructure strategy to lower cost, increase operational efficiency and align to long term data center strategies for our customers. HP backs our commitment to Linux by our investments in R&D from integration, meticulous testing and optimization for ProLiant, Integrity, and StorageWorks platforms, dual company market leadership around SAP solutions, and a unique long-term approach to Linux/Windows interoperability with our joint partner, Microsoft."
Meet the Partner
It's a partnership that dates back over twenty years and makes perfect sense: HP, worldwide leader of fully-supported industry-standard Linux solutions, and Novell, premier HP Alliance partner for a full range of seasoned software—including applications, network services, and world-class Linux distribution coverage from desktop to data center. SUSE Linux Enterprise on HP standards-based platforms provides our joint customers with broad choice, integrated solutions, and the confidence to deploy open source and Linux across the enterprise. In sum, it's the best of both worlds.
