So-called system management or enterprise management software has proven its worth in this context. Functionality is always improving, offering the possibility to e.g. see how \u2018healthy\u2019 IT system environments are, identify potential errors or downtimes and \u2018cure\u2019 them, comply with compliance and security guidelines, manage assets, or save costs through automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suse Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Suse presented version 1.2 of its system management software Suse Manager\u2014based on open source solution Spacewalk\u2014in spring of 2011. The focus back then was largely on monitoring Linux systems like Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). Comparing current version 4.1 with version 1.2, it\u2019s easy to see just how much functionality and performance have improved, spanning far beyond mere Linux (or Linux cluster) system management.<\/p><div id=\"great-2730379474\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en great-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6ZGXMPyM-nU\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"banner_26-04_29_1200x150\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-1-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How \"healthy\" is Hana?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially SAP customers benefit from improved functionality. Suse SLES for SAP Applications, a Hana\/Linux operating system platform including specific functions for SAP use, can be managed, orchestrated, and monitored using Suse Manager to guarantee seamless system operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For comprehensive monitoring, Suse Manager is also able to manage Linux servers, VMs, containers, SAP Linux clusters, and Hana dashboards \u2013 either directly through the solution or indirectly through partners. Suse\u2019s tool can also be seamlessly integrated into SAP Solution Manager (SolMan). Furthermore, SAP users can create and use their own scripts for customer-specific functionality. Suse Manager can be used in the cloud or on premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a central console, Suse Manager automates entire processes end to end, including asset management, orchestration, provisioning, and deployment, software and package management, and patch management. All system management tasks are sorted into one of three categories: health, compliance, or security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seamless interaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In combination with Suse Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications including the High Availability Extension HAE, a cluster software, and Suse\u2019s own live patching technology (patching without disruptions), Suse Manager can also help reduce downtimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suse has been offering high availability solutions and features specifically for SAP systems for years. In the early days of Hana, Suse took on the topic of high availability with disaster recovery and is still helping to reduce SAP downtimes in ERP\/ECC, S\/4 Hana, and other software applications, functions, and add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/suse-linux-gmbh\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/partners\/suse-linux-gmbh\/\" class=\"wp-image-11380\" title=\"Linux management and beyond\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-100x11.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-480x54.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-640x72.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-720x81.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CI-SUSE-960x108.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of Hana users is steadily increasing, meaning the number of SAP customers using Linux is increasing as well.
