Key Features

Increase Productivity

Workstation Extension improves productivity by allowing you to collaborate and communicate in real-time with your co-workers during system troubleshooting.

Save time by accessing the desktop applications that you need from your server. When troubleshooting your systems, have you ever wished you could create and modify files, view short how-to guides, or communicate in real time with your coworkers? Now you can. The SUSE Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension includes messaging, multimedia and office productivity tools which make collaboration and communication easier. And by eliminating switching between systems, you can work faster and more effectively.

Improve Code Quality

Workstation Extension also enables you to develop, test, and deploy your applications from a single system and eliminate errors that can occur when copying and configuring code and files.

Have you ever wasted time trying to debug code, only to find that the mistake occurred while you were transferring information from one system to another? Don't do that again. With the Workstation Extension you can develop, test and deploy your applications from a single system. Eliminate errors that can occur when copying and configuring code and files from one machine to another, and improve your productivity.
