SUSE and IBM are bringing you the fastest and easiest way to build, test, manage and get to market with software and virtual appliances.
IBM is delivering a portfolio of software appliances across IBM brands, all powered by SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Leveraging SUSE, this broad-based initiative enables IBM to deliver "plug and play" appliances that substantially lower the cost and complexity of deploying applications for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and help independent software vendors (ISVs) significantly expand their routes to market.
IBM delivers Linux-Based software appliances
The combination of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and IBM software represents a significant step forward in providing affordable, reliable, easy-to-use software appliances. IBM has created appliances based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in the following areas:
Lotus Foundations
Based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, Lotus Foundations Start includes e-mail, security, backup and recovery features, and is an ideal solution for small businesses with little or no IT support. It can be deployed in under 30 minutes and provides the essential collaboration software required to power a small business.
Lotus Protector
Designed to provide protection for organizations of all sizes, the IBM Lotus Protector for Mail Security 2.5 solution is available in two deployment options:
- Software appliance: Install Lotus Protector for Mail Security software on off-the-shelf IBM System x hardware and deploy as a physical appliance
- Virtual Appliance: Install Lotus Protector for Mail Security on supported VMware software and deploy as a virtualized appliance
