A Suse Case Study
voestalpine group-IT GmbH, the IT services provider for the voestalpine group, needed a reliable operating system for a new global SAP landscape that had to support 24/7 steel production with no downtime. The company chose Suse, specifically SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications and SUSE Manager, to support mission-critical SAP workloads across its worldwide manufacturing sites.
Suse implemented a stable, SAP-optimized platform running on Cisco servers virtualized with VMware and connected to NetApp storage, along with SUSE Manager for patching and system management. As a result, voestalpine group-IT GmbH achieved high availability, consistently strong performance for large SAP systems, shorter maintenance windows, and easier updates across 200 systems, helping keep production running smoothly and improving security.
