SAP closes its eyes and remains pragmatic - or buys Suse Linux, just as Red Hat was bought.<\/p>\n<p>But there is still a way out: For SAP Hana, there will be Power plus Red Hat in the future, or Xeon plus Suse, because Intel will take over the weak-breasted Suse - or perhaps Microsoft will buy the European Suse.<\/p>\n<p>The Windows company has stated that 40 percent of all MS Cloud Azure applications run on Linux. Those who know the history know that they are predominantly Suse Linux installations.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is currently committed to Red Hat without reservation, but they will soon be operating under an IBM umbrella.
