Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Enterprise Server family achieves complete cross-platform compatibility by providing a single code-base, standards compliant Linux on all platforms, from mainframes to laptops. It scales vertically on larger servers with fast 32-bit Pentiums to 64-bit Itanium, AMD and IBM mainframe systems, and it scales horizontally with built-in multi-processor, multi-path I/O, and clustering technology. SuSE Linux offers significant cost savings, server consolidation opportunities, and IT staff skill consolidation, all while supporting your mission critical applications and database servers. It includes 1- year of maintenance for up to 8 server processors & installation kit.

Key Benefits:

• Designed to fully exploit the capabilities of the AMD64 architecture.
• Substantial cost savings - does not incur any license fees for the client access or the Internet access. The consolidation of servers yields considerable savings for training and resources.
• Increased investment security through maintenance & an open source code - combines support, updates, and software maintenance; providing full service from one source, by means of one program, enabling you to effectively protect your IT infrastructure. The operating system source code is enclosed.
• Integration of Windows, Apple, Novell, and Unix in heterogenous networks.
• Secure remote maintenance and remote administration for all hosts, no matter where they are located. Automated processes, all tools included .
• Security for Your Data through encrypted file systems. Increased protection against file manipulation through file monitoring.
• Effective Database Support Through Raw Devices, which enable databases to access hard disks directly and lead to a significant increase of the data throughput.
• User-Defined Automated Software Distribution/Software Management (AutoYaST). Identical software configurations can be distributed and installed automatically on hosts with different hardware across all networks .
• Increased Data Throughput. Thanks to asynchronous device management, slow devices (e.g. hard disk drives) operate in the background - this prevents the overall system from being restrained by slow devices.
• Detailed Process Control/Improved Failover. Each application, each process is assigned a separate range. In this way it is possible to allocate resources to processes or applications.
• Dynamic Storage Management (Logical Volume Manager). Several hard disks are combined to a volume, and the resulting volume can be apportioned as needed .
• File Safety and More Performance with Journaling File Systems. File systems for any utilization field: ReiserFS, ext3, xfs,jfs.
