The NIS2 Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act are responses to the increasing number of cyberattacks. Here it is helpful to rely on the BSI-certified Suse Linux platform for SAP.

For S/4 HANA public cloud migrations, long-time SAP partner SUSE supports customers with much more than a best-in-class operating system platform. This can ensure an accelerated and secured cloud transition as well as robust cloud operations management.

With seven steps, the Suse technology blueprint ensures the high availability of the S/4 Hana transformation to the hybrid cloud.

Numerous customers usually prefer hybrid cloud operation for SAP S/4HANA deployment. This requires software support that covers a comprehensive technology stack and supports sophisticated SAP Landscape Lifecycle Management.

Many S/4 on-premises customers are increasingly turning to public cloud services. While infrastructure services for an SAP environment are quickly booked, setting it up and running it requires sophisticated software.

With SAP's recent announcement that it will align its entire solution portfolio even more strongly in the direction of the cloud, the further deployment of S/4 Hana in the Hybrid Cloud operating variant is preordained.

On-prem here, public cloud there. Unthinkable a few years ago, more and more SAP customers are now turning to hybrid and multi-cloud computing. Linux also supports SAP Hana Large Instances on Microsoft Azure.

More and more SAP customers have their sights firmly set on hybrid and multicloud computing. Linux serves as the foundation - also in conjunction with container technologies such as Kubernetes.

Sophisticated Linux platform management boosts SAP Hana deployment. Prerequisite: a functionally broad system management software that also supports the automation of an SAP infrastructure deployment.

The innovative collaboration between SAP, Intel and Suse marks a new milestone with the use of Persistent Memory in Hana deployment together with Linux in data centers.

This year, the SAP Linux Lab celebrates its 20th anniversary. Suse has been on board from the very beginning. Highlights of the two decades.

Linux is becoming increasingly important for Hana or SAP S/4 Hana as well as for data center transition and cloud computing.
