SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 for AMD64 & Intel64 Service Pack 4 for SUSE® SLED 11

Product Description
The PRIMERGY BX922 S2 Server Blade uses up to two Intel® Xeon® X5670 processors with 6 cores. Chipset and CPU offer comprehensive, hardware-based virtualization support, which is supplemented by the additional functions on the new onboard Gigabit Ethernet Controller Intel® 82576. The main memory configuration with up to 12 DIMM modules rounds off the picture - the road is open for consolidation strategies which are aligned with virtualization with hypervisor solutions from Suse. The design of the PRIMERGY BX922 S2 is very flexible regarding the boot options as - in addition to the increasing use of SAN or NAS - local booting via Solid State Disks and via a USB connected flash module is available. The efficient administration of the entire system via ServerView is supported by the integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC S2); the hardware monitoring and setting options can thus be optimally visualized in order to use all options at the highest energy-efficiency levels.
