Access to these applications need to be secured with egress container security policies when containers are deployed with Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift. These legacy applications include database servers and applications […]

I know that Xfce users are known out there as “the guys who doesn’t care much about how the desktop looks like”… well, that not 100% true. I was a Gnome user before the transition to version 3. “What a waste of resources” I said… the brand new “tablet-like” interface that Gnome team was so […]

For a casual outside observer there’s a lot in common between Ceph and Swift: they are both open source projects, they have both enjoyed major and ongoing increases in the number of developers actively engaged in improving them, they are both mature, and they both have a legion of fans with serious engineering skills and […]

A little more than a year ago, when I told my (swiss) wife that I was resigning from one of the most stable and profitable corporations in the country to join an open source company, she thought it was another one of my weird jokes (especially as the date was April 1st, April fool’s day). […]

First, what is Azure Stack? It is pretty simple really, Azure Stack is essentially Microsoft Azure, but provided to you for you to install and run. This is a key point, Azure Stack is not an environment that emulates the public Azure for you, it functions as an extension of public Azure, bringing agility and […]

Is it that time again? You bet. SUSECON is right around the corner and being held in Prague, Czechia, September 25-29, 2017. If you’ve attended SUSECON in the past you know that anything can happen (live music, giveaways, Minecraft on a giant screen, to name a few…) but more importantly, the event offers 100+ hours […]

A few thoughts on why a strong market requirement will push Cloud Foundry onto Kubernetes. First thing to note, Cloud Foundry (CF) is a leading if not the leading PaaS offering on the market. Also note, CF is not built using Kubernetes, it uses its own container system. And while this container system is compatible […]

There are few things that consistently serve as an accurate barometer of an industry, but openly polling the people who are in the trenches day after day is one of them. In keeping true with this philosophy, EETimes and Embedded.com have been surveying engineers and embedded system experts for more than 20 years—gathering perspective and delivering […]

“It usually takes three months to procure, install and configure a new mid-range storage system and migrate data over. Now, we can simply order a new bespoke and tested commodity system from Thomas-Krenn, and add its capacity to the storage pool within days – at 70 to 80 percent lower expenditure.” – Michael Nieporte, Head […]

Linux distributions are generally full of packages that have specific uses that most people don’t need or maybe they just don’t know that they need. In my previous post I wrote about QPhotoRec which I had never used before my little accident that actually saved me a huge headache. I didn’t know that this application existed until […]

My 8 year old son and I had an interesting conversation the other day while driving to school. While he’s a decent student, he’s not a big fan of school, but he does love to learn new things. He asked me at what point he would “know everything” and seemed shocked when I told him […]

When it comes to data storage volumes, as soul singer Otis Clay said in 1980, ‘the only way is up’. A few years back enterprises were grappling with more and more transactional data, pretty much all of it structured RDBMS, you had growth, but it was steady and relatively simple. Not so today, as we […]

2017, still fresh and new! Happy New Year, best wishes and new years resolutions go hand in hand. Yes, you can obviously choose one of the standard (and often boring) resolutions.

IT pros have long known that the upfront cost of storage systems can bear little relation to the total cost of running them over an extended period, and that an attractive entry price is all too often something of a ‘Trojan Horse’ sell – at first glance it looks like a gift. . . . […]

One product announcement in particular that had a lot of buzz at the event was the launch of SUSE […]

Several weeks ago the SUSE Benelux team was notified that SUSE is nominated for “Best Software Innovator of the Year”. Hopefully we are able to collect the award as well (like we did last year) during the “Dutch IT channel Awards New Year Gala”.

Those of you in a Xen environment may have noticed a change with recent versions of openSUSE Tumbleweed, or the newly released SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 and openSUSE Leap 42.2.

Industrien und Business Modelle wandeln sich in einer nie dagewesenen Geschwindigkeit und stellen jeden IT vor neue Herausforderung. […]

Before SUSECON 2016, I shared some of my thoughts about the evolving theme of SUSECON and looking forward to this year’s event in Washington D.C. I love being at SUSECON, interacting with customers, and being able to see first hand the awesomeness that is our community. This year, I found myself happily reflecting on how this […]

Well not so, because […]

 ‘It seemed like a good idea at the time’ pretty much sums up the picture of legacy storage in the typical data centre. And, like the 2009 rom-com starring Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin, ‘its complicated’. Very complicated. If yours is like most enterprises there will be an absolute hotchpotch of appliances, clusters and supporting […]

Our very first corporate slogan captured it perfectly “SUSE – The Linux Experts”. It has never been more true than today.

A few items of note from my perspective: OpenStack Foundation […]

Despite the oddly low ceiling in the exhibits hall this year, SAP TechEd rose to new heights for this attendee & sponsor. The range of topics covered by the presenters, from HANA implementation strategies and success stories to product roadmaps to tools for developers was extensive and impressive.  And apparently some of SAP’s new tools […]

IDC defines Software-Defined-Infrastructure as the concept to build and run an open and agile IT infrastructure environment in an automated manner. It is key to this concept that virtualized workloads can be automated, configured, consumed, migrated, scaled, and replicated independent of the underlying infrastructure (server, storage, and network). Very important is that the transformation to […]

You’ve heard me talk, tweet and blog about all of the great features in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications that help keep SAP HANA systems running reliably on IBM Power Systems servers.

In the retreat like conditions of the Greenlands Campus, Henley Business School, I had the opportunity to learn and reflect during my time studying for an MBA. I still live a short distance away, in Marlow, and a 30 minute drive away, across the Chiltern Hills, is the HQ of Micro Focus where I work […]

In today’s fast paced world, if you’re not first—you’re last.  Companies must be able to respond quickly to changes in both their internal and external environments, so adopting the latest and greatest technologies to enable them to do so is crucial to their survival.  Having the right culture and the right processes and tools for […]

In Germany, federal law requires that patient data is stored for a statistical life time. And very likely this applies to many other countries. Medical imaging is nowadays standard for diagnostics, prevention and therapy, is used more often due to an aging population, and at the same time file sizes are getting bigger and bigger. […]

We’re exactly three weeks out from Linux’s 25th bday and although the date has passed, we are still celebrating!  Back on August 25th we launched an entire page full of Linux bday goodies including a “Happy Birthday Linux” video (you may recognize a few familiar faces), a Linux Legend quiz (you know…to prove your Linux […]

Pressure to compete at a faster pace and diminishing IT budgets combined with the culture of ‘everything on-demand’ is driving new levels of digital transformation across all sizes of business. Larger organizations especially are feeling heightened expectations from customers and employees alike to compete and deliver innovation at high velocity. In a recent blog post […]

As IT and business leaders are continually driven to “transform the business”, they are often asked to do this with the same or even smaller budgets.  This challenge means that they must find a way to reduce costs for their existing infrastructure so that they can free up resources to invest in new technology – […]

I bet you’re already familiar with our monthly webinars! We’ve been running them for over a year now with great success thanks to our Product Matter experts.

By Danny Rowark, SUSE Unless you’re Matt Damon in “The Martian” stranded on Mars, you will have noticed that the Olympics has just finished in Rio!  You will also note that TeamGB collected their greatest medal haul for nearly 100 years, and once again celebrated in the velodrome for the cycling.  At the Barcelona Olympics […]

SUSE lovers, Customers, Partners, and employees all had one important question: “Where can we buy all the cool SUSE gadgets?”. Unfortunately, there was no place where these collectors-items could be purchased. Until now!

At least that’s what my five year old daughter thinks. She’s taken up the role of resident doctor in our household and takes her job very seriously. Bump or bruise – she’s waiting in the wings with an ice pack. Scratch or cut – she has a Band-Aid ready (usually before you). In her opinion, […]

A lifetime ago, I was a VM developer anxious to make my mark on the programming world by producing leading-edge applications that I thought surely everyone would scramble to use and share.  At the time, it was imperative to establish a good rapport with IT in order to complete the deployment cycle and get anyone’s […]

In order to compete with elite French universities, Epitech, the leading French specialist institution for computer science, must remain at the forefront of technology adoption and education. To date, they are delivering innovative curriculum that has granted their graduates employment rates equal or greater to prestigious French institutions like the Grandes Écoles. They know how to adapt and succeed, […]

I have a 2003 Subaru Outback. I love the car. My wife loves the car. Living in Utah, we’ve used it to hit up the national parks, camping in the mountains, deserts and forests. This car has fostered many happy memories for our family. But do you know what I really hate? Car downtime. My wife […]

There’s an old brain teaser that asks “Which is heavier: a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?” For many people the initial reaction is to say that “a pound is a pound” so they must weigh the same. With a better understanding of how each is weighed you might conclude that the feathers […]

If you’re using SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 (or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 with a graphical interface) and you used to have a KDE desktop or simply you wanted to try the Plasma desktop so many people talk about, you probably noticed KDE wasn’t available for SLE12… until now.

There’s something about attending industry events and trade-shows that always feels new to me (even year after year). Personally, I like to arrive early, get registered, and quickly flip through the event guide to figure out where I’ll head first, all the while, wondering which friend I’ll bump into that I’ve met over the years, […]

Today’s businesses are challenged by keeping up with constantly, rapidly changing customer demands and new market trends. This puts severe pressures on the lines of business within an organization and causes difficulty in staying ahead of the competition. In the first place to be constantly outward looking and in the second place to establish a […]

Getting your skills up to date or becoming an expert even, is something we all fancy. The challenge however is that our time is often limited in this fast pacing world. Because I know what it’s like to have limited time available while trying to keep my skills up high, I like to point out our […]

So much of what any of us do is through a computer screen, which is why we love our SUSE Expert Days tour–these events are lively and noisy and interactive. Obviously, we want to make these events better for our guests, which is what I was looking to find out how to do from a ton […]

Earlier this week Amazon Web Services announced the availability of a new region, one with unique potential for accelerated adoption and growth. For years Indian technology companies, from start-ups to the enterprise, have been extremely comfortable building applications and services using AWS – this week Amazon announced the availability of a region that brings the cloud closer to […]

One of many aspects and drivers of digital transformation is the Internet of Things. Cisco claims that in 2020 there will be 3.4 connected devices per human being or 26.3 billion connected devices in total. For many years the Internet of Things has been a hype, but now we are seeing it maturing and with […]

I’m one of those lucky guys who woke up this morning with a 5-year-old’s arms around my neck and cries of “Happy Father’s Day!” Even the teenagers smiled, didn’t protest too much as they brought me breakfast (eggs for protein and fruit to keep me healthy). And they all tried to understand what on earth […]

The OPNFV Summit is next week in Berlin and I am excited to be attending. As a member of SUSE’s OPNFV efforts, this represents a great opportunity to talk with others working in the community on the same effort. SUSE is focused on leveraging our experience in turning community software into enterprise-grade software, and in […]

At SUSE we believe in delivering open-source solutions at intervals that balance your needs to keep up with innovation, without forcing updates on you that your organization isn’t ready for. You know that we introduced SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP1 back in February, and have probably heard rumors about a Service […]

If you’re anything like me, when it comes to learning, I can’t just read about it. I need to watch, listen, and be shown examples of what I’m meant to learn for it to really stick. That’s why I prefer webinars. Yeah, the live sessions are hard to fit into my busy day, but that’s […]

As an active participant in the Ceph community and distributor of SUSE Enterprise Storage, powered by Ceph technology, SUSE is focused on helping to further educate and promote software-defined storage and the Ceph technology by helping to sponsor Ceph Day Switzerland on June 14, 2016 at CERN.

Hello World, Today I was asked by my colleague to help him with an unbootable SLES11 which was just recently upgraded to SP3 … Well, first I thought that this problem will be simple to solve as common initrd problems are quite easy to break, but I’ve learned a lesson … First I quickly checked […]

There surely are quite some interesting projects when it comes to (private) Clouds, here’s a message in particular to the ones that are already into the Open Source project OpenStack as well as the ones interested to contribute on a development level. As most of you surely know and as the name already says, OpenStack is […]
