Case Study: Asia Innovatory Management School achieves lower IT costs and greener classrooms with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

Asia Innovatory Management School - Customer Case Study

Asia Innovatory Management School (AiMS) in Singapore needed a cost-effective, greener way to deliver training for the Ministry of Defense without buying more than 100 new desktop PCs. Using **Suse** Linux Enterprise Server, AiMS aimed to reuse older hardware while supporting LibreOffice and other open source tools in a thin-client classroom environment.

**Suse** implemented a thin-client solution with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server running on an IBM System x server, centralizing applications and user data for 110 diskless PCs. The result was an estimated **US$20,000 saved in year one**, about **US$4,000 in annual electricity savings**, and a reduction of **20 hours per week in IT support time**.
