Case Study: China Telecom Corporation Chongqing achieves lower costs, greater flexibility, and stronger stability with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

China Telecom Corporation Chongqing - Customer Case Study

China Telecom Corporation Chongqing, the Chongqing branch serving more than 30 million people, needed to move away from costly proprietary UNIX platforms such as IBM AIX and HP-UX while reducing dependence on single vendors. The company chose Suse Linux Enterprise Server, testing it on around 20 core systems including network services, maintenance tools, and smaller application and database servers.

Working with Chongqing Telecommunication Services, a Suse partner, China Telecom Corporation Chongqing implemented Suse Linux Enterprise Server across x86 servers from IBM, HP, and Dell. Suse helped deliver lower licensing and support costs, greater flexibility, and strong security and stability for a 24x7 telecom environment, with day-to-day maintenance reduced for internal IT staff and no reported problems after implementation.
