- SUSE Linux Enterprise certifications hold
- No need to re-certify. SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS is based on the same code base as SUSE Linux Enterprise. If you are certified on SUSE Linux Enterprise today, you do not need to re-certify for JeOS. For no extra effort, you get the same enterprise-grade, mission-critical performance preferred by SAP in a package you can customize. SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS also features a robust development environment for custom J2EE solutions, and can be extended with Mono to support .NET solutions. Further, it is optimized to be the perfect guest operating system for the major hypervisors: Xen, Hyper-V, and VMware. No other JeOS can claim the same level of interoperability and support available with SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS.
- Build from the ground up
- Make it yours. Customize SUSE Linux Enterprise from the ground up with SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS, and include only what you need, and nothing you don't. SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS is a customizable configuration of SUSE Linux Enterprise designed as a bare minimum bootable image formatted for VMware and OVF 32 and 64 bit x86 images. You can use this JeOS to boot, configure basic utilities, and connect to Novell to download additional SUSE Linux Enterprise packages. This means you get to decide which packages and elements you include based on what you need—whether you are building a virtual appliance or imaging a new server.
- Cost, security and performance enhancements
- When is "just enough" better than "more than enough"? When you care about reducing support costs, improving security, and enhancing the end user experience for your customers. With SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS, you can reduce the size of the OS to only those packages that are critical to your needs. This reduces support costs by reducing the number of packages and patches that have to be managed and applied.
Further, the number of potential vulnerabilities are substantially reduced as you remove unnecessary packages, improving the security of the operating system and overall solution. Finally, the reduced footprint consumes fewer valuable system resources, improving performance for the end customer. SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS delivers all of this and more, allowing you to focus your time on where it matter most: your products. - Fully supported by Novell
