Novell and SAP are out to get even the smallest SAP user running mission-critical applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Novell and SAP have
announced that they will customize SAP's
enterprise applications to work even more efficiently with SUSE Linux
Enterprise and its associated virtualization and identity management
technologies.
According to the press release, Novell and SAP
will optimize SUSE Linux Enterprise for SAP's
data center applications, further promote SAP's
SUSE Linux-based Business All-in-One solutions and work within the SAP
Enterprise Services Community program on behalf of customers in ways related to
SAP's GRC
(governance, risk and compliance) practices. The goal is to make it so that any
SAP applications users, from the smallest
company to the Fortune 50, can run more of their mission-critical operations on
SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server), while reducing their total cost of
ownership.
Specifically, Novell and SAP
will work to create an SLES-based SAP
Business All-in-One solution for small and midsize businesses. Historically, SAP
has concentrated on the biggest of enterprises. Recently, however, SAP
has focused on SMBs with initiatives like its
All-in-One
Fast-Start.
