Drive Open Innovation with SUSE and Microsoft Azure
Whether you are optimizing business processes or disrupting an entire industry, innovation is at the heart of most enterprises today. To innovate well, you need a reliable, performant platform that offers up to 99.9999% availability and provides seamless, high-quality support.
Radical innovation – the SUSE and Microsoft way
Innovation without a rock-solid platform can lead to loss of time and revenue. So, it makes sense to partner with the technology leaders who have innovation at the heart of their partnership.
SUSE has a history of many firsts with Microsoft Azure: We were the first to optimize a kernel for Azure, the first to deploy SAP HANA, and the first to offer Software Reservation discounts in the Microsoft Azure marketplace.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 15 is a multimodal operating system with an Azure-tuned kernel that paves the way for IT transformation.
Optimized for the Intelligent Cloud
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 on-demand instances now runs on a custom-tuned kernel for workloads on Microsoft Azure and provides enhanced performance and faster boot speeds along with a decreased memory footprint. This means that you get faster access to new Azure features as they are made available.
Committed to Customer Choice
Depending on the workload, you can experience up to 102% ROI by moving to Azure.1 Further control costs by reserving instances for specific SUSE Linux Enterprise Server images. You can reserve instances for the following SUSE products:
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with 24x7 Integrated Support
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Sever for SAP Applications with 24x7 Integrated Support
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server High Performance Computing with 24x7 Integrated Support
Reliability and Efficiency for the Enterprise
You can be confident in the agility and performance of Azure-based workloads when SUSE is your platform. SUSE on Azure offers up to 99.9999% availability and security which is infused from the kernel to the edge1.
