Run your SAP Solutions on SUSE.

Private Cloud / Iaas

Consider a private cloud for your SAP environment if business constraints make it difficult to get new services available quickly but you want to maintain total control of the infrastructure and data. SUSE OpenStack Cloud takes the complexity out of deploying a private cloud with templates for easily repeatable deployment, easy management and enhanced high availability. Combine it with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications to get rapid deployment of SAP systems with the flexibility to provide self-service access to applications.

Public Cloud

Through the SUSE Cloud Service Provider program, Hyperscalers deliver pre-built, optimized images based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications with the same features that are available for on-premise deployments. Pay-as-you-go and bring-your-own-subscription (BYOS) options vary by provider. SUSE gives you the flexibility to move subscriptions between on-premise and cloud implementations.
