SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 11 for AMD64 & Intel64 with KVM Service Pack 4 for SUSE® SLES 11

Product Description
With high performing AMD processors, the PowerEdge™ 6950 provides high performance at a low power consumption rate. The high performing four-socket, Dual-Core processors, system expandability and high availability make the PowerEdge 6950 perfect for database and server consolidation. Designed to reduce complexity, the PowerEdge 6950 still shares common design, layout and labeling conventions with previous generations of PowerEdge servers. By providing hot-plug redundant power supplies and hard drives, plus a SAS RAID option, Dell addresses the need for high availability without sacrificing expandability.
