SUSE Linux Enterprise Mono Extension
Run your .NET applications on Linux and increase flexibility without increasing complexity.
Leverage the .NET framework today! +
Features & Benefits
- ASP.NET on Linux
- Software development just got a lot simpler. Corporate and ISV developers can now run .NET applications on Linux servers and can host ASP.NET 2.0, ASP.NET AJAX, and ASP.NET MVC enabled applications on the Apache web server. This results in improved interoperability of .NET applications with Java and other legacy Linux/Unix applications by exposing .NET features and functionality to these applications and by allowing developers to run both .NET and Java together on Linux. No linux development tools required.
- Broader hardware support
- With this offering corporate and ISV developers who run .NET on Linux receive support for x86, x86_64 and mainframe-based server consolidation. This results in increased flexibility for organizations who want to utilize their physical resources on the most commonly-used hardware platforms to leverage their existing .NET capabilities.
- Target Linux from Visual Studio
- C# and Visual Basic programs written and compiled in Visual Studio can now be run on Linux. This enables developers to use current skills and the .NET toolchain to develop and maintain server and Web applications that run on Linux.
- Performance and scalability
- Improve performance and manageability without costly licensing policies. Features like these lead to improved systems management, maintenance, scalability, and performance:
- Advanced 64-bit Support (in Mono)
- Higher Memory (16GB on x86 versus 4 GB on x86 for Windows Web Server Edition)
- Higher CPU count (32 CPU versus 4 CPU limit for Windows Web and Standard Edition)
- Faster Networking and IO stacks
