Case Study: Bundesagentur für Arbeit achieves 80% database cost savings with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Suse

Bundesagentur für Arbeit - Customer Case Study

Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Germany’s largest provider of labor market services, needed to standardize a complex IT landscape under tight budget pressure while ensuring reliable support for mission-critical public services. With Suse and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the agency aimed to simplify operations across diverse systems and improve compatibility for its large-scale applications.

Suse helped Bundesagentur für Arbeit migrate core applications and databases from Solaris, HP-UX, and Windows to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, creating a stable, open platform with certified third-party compatibility. The results included 80% savings in database server operations costs, more than 80% lower power consumption, and a major reduction in hardware acquisition and maintenance costs, while supporting about 1,800 SLES instances.
