Case Study: Marist College achieves agile, low-cost IT scalability with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z
A Suse Case Study
Marist College - Customer Case Study
Marist College needed a way to deliver cutting-edge technology for its liberal arts programs on a tight budget, without the cost and space demands of individual servers. The college wanted a stable, well-supported Linux environment for its mainframe-based IT strategy, and chose Suse SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z.
Suse implemented SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z on the college’s IBM System z platform, virtualized with z/VM, enabling Marist College to run hundreds of virtual servers for ERP, websites, and open source applications. The solution delivered a highly scalable and reliable environment, let the college deploy new virtual servers in minutes, supported more than 800 virtual servers with just two staff members, and extended IT services to other schools with very low total cost of ownership.
