SAP HANA, running on SUSE Linux Enterprise, coming to Azure

SUSE and Microsoft today announce that SAP HANA is coming to Microsoft Azure running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

Looking to spin up SAP HANA instances on Azure? You’ll now be able to, using the same pricing as for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications.

“We’re excited that our partnership with SAP is delivering powerful, new options for SAP HANA deployments on Azure – including support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.” – Madhan Arumugam Ramakrishnan, Principal Manager, Microsoft Azure.

“SUSE, SAP, and Microsoft Azure continue to develop and deliver solutions for cloud data centers — with a focus on the enterprise,” said Kristin Kinan, Director of Public Cloud Alliances at SUSE.  “Bringing SAP HANA to Azure, running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, is the latest step in enabling maximum power and flexibility to our enterprise customers.”
