Fully backed by Novell with a seven-year lifecycle guarantee, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is here to stay. It provides open programming and development tools that simplify Linux integration and customization. It also offers comprehensive open source functionality and virtualization capabilities that help your business lower operational costs, increase computing utilization and protect corporate data.
Industry-proven Performance
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server powers three of the top global supercomputers and has received high marks in industry-standard TPC benchmarks. (For more information, see www.tpc.org.) With that kind of reputation, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is an operating system you can trust to run your business-critical systems. Plus, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is better than it's ever been before. With enhancements like the CPU scheduler, performance on multi-core servers has improved by 10 to 15 percent since the previous release of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Scalability on a Broad Range of Architectures
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is supported by all leading hardware vendors. Whether you want to run it on servers, clients, single-processor whitebox systems, blades or the largest mainframes, you'll find that SUSE Linux Enterprise is certified on the architectures you need. It runs on many popular systems, including (but not limited to) x86, AMD64, EM64T, Itanium, POWER and zSeries machines. And scalability is never an issue: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server scales to 512 processors on most standard architectures and up to 1024 processors on Itanium systems.
Virtualization for More Efficient Computing
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server gives you flexibility: you can use its new virtualization features to reconfigure your systems and applications for maximum efficiency. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is the first enterprise platform to include a fully integrated and supported version of Xen 3.0, the emerging open source standard for virtualization services. You can use these services to consolidate multiple workloads on a single server or allocate a single workload across multiple servers. (Most servers run at less than 20-percent utilization. With Xen and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, you can increase that utilization to levels of up to 70 percent.)
Tight Security for Corporate Data
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server protects your data. It provides essential security capabilities, including encryption, firewalls, security-certificate creation and management, user authentication and access control, and proxy management. In addition, it is the only enterprise-class distribution that includes a superior Linux application-security solution: Novell AppArmor. AppArmor delivers enterprise-class application security to protect your operating system from the harmful side effects of internal or external attacks, malicious applications and viruses. As a result, your business can protect mission-critical data, reduce system administration costs and ensure compliance with government regulations.
Support for Essential Business Services
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server helps you do business—your way. It offers out-of-the-box support for most popular open source applications, including Web-application servers, databases, and file, network, print and security services. In addition, hundreds of third-party partners back SUSE Linux Enterprise Server by providing more than 1,500 applications that span a broad range of markets.
The Platform for the Open Enterprise
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is a key component of SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, the platform for the Open Enterprise. SUSE Linux Enterprise gives you new ways to outperform competitors, cut costs, neutralize security threats and satisfy the most demanding customers. With solutions for your entire enterprise—from desktops to data centers—the best Linux platform just got better.
