SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 12 for AMD64 & Intel64 with KVM Service Pack 2 for SUSE® SLES 12

Product Description
The IBM 4800-784/E84 constitutes a significant technological and functional enhancement to the SurePOS 700 product line. With industry-leading technologies, the systems run smoothly while reducing IT management costs. Model E84 is identical to Model 784. They feature IBM Light-Path Management and IBM Remote Management Agent for proactive monitoring and remote updates. All models also feature a virtually tool-free design that offers easy serviceability through secure front access to the system unit. This allows store employees to replace units and swap out parts quickly and easily -- helping to ensure maximum up-time and reduce service costs. An optional cable arm provides complete front-side access to rear cabling without having to move the system unit from its normal position at the POS, further enhancing serviceability. Ultimately, these features help retailers reduce management and service costs while delivering the flexibility businesses need to respond to changing trends and marketplaces with a compelling customer experience.
