Case Study: Deutsche Rentenversicherung achieves 10% cost savings with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z

Deutsche Rentenversicherung - Customer Case Study

Deutsche Rentenversicherung, Germany’s statutory pension fund agency, needed to cut administrative costs by 10% while maintaining the efficiency of its core operations. Its IT team was burdened by expensive z/OS licensing and a complex mix of standalone Linux servers, so it looked to Suse and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z to lower infrastructure costs.

Suse helped Deutsche Rentenversicherung migrate legacy z/OS workloads to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z and consolidate servers onto its IBM System z mainframe. The result was lower licensing, support, hardware, power, and cooling costs, helping the organization move toward its 10% cost-reduction target while improving energy efficiency and creating a more open platform for future applications.
