Case Study: CenturyLink achieves SAP HANA transformation with SUSE and IBM Power Systems

Centurylink - Customer Case Study

CenturyLink, the second largest U.S. communications provider to global enterprise customers in more than 60 countries, needed a rock-solid platform to support its migration to SAP HANA as it transformed its business and diversified revenue through acquisitions. The company turned to Suse’s Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications on IBM Power Systems, including IBM Power E880, to help meet those demands.

Suse implemented the platform for CenturyLink’s SAP efforts, providing the stability and performance needed for the SAP HANA migration. The result was a stronger foundation for CenturyLink’s strategic transformation and business expansion, with Suse helping enable a scalable, enterprise-grade environment for its SAP applications.
