SAP Solution: SLES

SAP workloads require maximum availability and security. SLES for SAP Applications 16 solves this challenge with high availability, security and optimized management for a stable and efficient SAP environment.

Version 15 SP2 of Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for SAP Applications has arrived and is another milestone for SAP Linux use on premises and in the cloud.

Suse has announced an important milestone: 10,000 SAP Business One customers are already using Hana on Suse Linux Enterprise Server.

Similar to on-premise, Suse solutions for SAP are now among the recommended and preferred partner systems for SAP deployment in the public cloud environment. A spotlight on Suse for SAP solutions that can be obtained via the authoritative "SAP public cloud service providers".

Many events have moved to digital because of COVID-19, including Sapphire Now Converge and Susecon Digital. Virtual customer conferences are important, especially for SAP customers.

For SAP customers, container technologies like Kubernetes are growing increasingly important. One example of this development is the innovative SAP solution SAP Data Hub which leverages the SUSE Container as a Service (CaaS) Platform as well as SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) Micro OS as open source solution. The increasing containerization generates business value.

On-prem here, public cloud there. Just a few years ago, leveraging hybrid and multi-cloud with SAP would have been impossible. Now, it’s the new normal, and Linux can also support SAP Hana Large Instances on Microsoft Azure.

Linux as an operating system platform as well as other Open Source technologies as core elements are used in SAP infrastructures. This is applicable for Cloud as well as on-premises deployment. Thus, they are equipped for the hybrid multicloud age.

More and more SAP customers aim for a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud approach. Linux can serve as the foundation—also in combination with container technologies like Kubernetes.

A good Linux platform management results in good SAP Hana use. Only condition: a system management software which supports the automation of SAP infrastructure deployment.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the SAP Linux Lab, and Suse was there from the beginning. Here are some highlights of two decades of collaboration.

Some existing SAP customers have already been able to switch to Hana and are in the middle of the changeover or conversion to S/4. Now that the project phases have been completed and the systems have been put into operation, it is up to the SAP Basis team to operate them.
