SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) is a Linux-based server operating system created and maintained by the German-based organization, SUSE. (SUSE is an acronym for “Software- und System-Entwicklung,” which means “software and systems development.”) SLES is designed to be used with mainframes, servers, workstations, and desktop computers. IT professionals use SUSE for workload management and optimization at the enterprise level.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP (News - Alert) Applications was custom-designed to deliver reduced downtime of critical SAP application-based operations with built-in business continuity, including an advanced high availability solution and automated data recovery for SAP HANA, an in-memory, column-oriented, relational database management system developed and marketed by SAP SE. It includes SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as a fast, reliable, and secure Linux operating system.

On Wednesday, October 28 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm EDT, TMC (News - Alert) will host a webinar entitled, “SUSE in the Public Cloud on Microsoft Azure: SAP Solutions.” Attendees will learn about SUSE product innovations for their SAP workloads on Microsoft (News - Alert) Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing service, including automation and optimized monitoring to reduce downtimes and recovery times, and to increase availability for SAP HANA and Netweaver-based applications.
