SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10

Lower Infrastructure Costs

In today's highly competitive environment, any performance gains will be weighed against the incremental investments necessary to achieve those gains. SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time allows firms to improve application performance, while simultaneously reducing infrastructure costs.

Because applications running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time are more reliable and predictable, even under heavy system loads, over-provisioned systems can now safely be run hotter, or at higher average utilization, effectively increasing capacity, or alternatively, lowering hardware costs on a per service basis. Many trading and market data servers are currently run at 5 to 20% capacity, in order to accommodate trading volumes that can spike up to 15 times their daily average during the course of a day. By using SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time, these same systems can be provisioned at 10 to 40% average utilization, allowing firms to meet the same quality of service targets and service level agreements, but with half the hardware.

Furthermore, enterprises can avoid vendor lock in and protect their current investments by implementing SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time, an open source, enterprise real time operating system. Firms benefit from Novell's integration of the open source community's latest real time technologies into its enterprise desktop to data center platform, and can choose to get support from a number of different vendors. By using SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time, firms can redirect scarce resources to their core business operations, rather than maintain and support their own custom, low latency platform. Firms maximize flexibility and choice, and lower their total infrastructure costs by implementing open standards based real time technologies from Novell.
