Overview

SUSEŽ Linux Enterprise Server empowers businesses to leverage Linux and open source by delivering a flexible and scalable foundation for secure enterprise computing. HP fully supports, certifies, and sells SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for ProLiant, Bladesystem & Integrity Servers.

From blades to clusters, HP ProLiant servers offer impressive manageability and availability. HP BladeSystem servers can be an ideal foundation for the simplification of datacenter environments. And HP Integrity servers offer the reliability and scalability that the most demanding Linux workloads need.

HP and Novell are joint open source market and community leaders, thus bringing our customer ROI-based solutions with a single point of accountability for server, software and services, our customers have trusted the HP and Novell partnership for over 20 years

What's new

ProLiant Servers - HP provides industry-leading management capabilities with ProLiant servers, which enable customers to deploy, monitor and manage HP ProLiant servers running Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server easily. Coinciding with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Service Pack 2, enhancements to the software extend this manageability to virtualization layer. In response to customer feedback, HP now provides full agent support of the host system running the Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server virtualization kernel.

Integrity servers - The policy-based power management capability ("cpufreq") available in SLES 10 SP2 now supports the performance-states feature of the Itanium 9100 series processors ("Montvale") utilized in HP Integrity servers. This feature enables individual CPU power regulation that helps customers to better manage data center power for greater cost-savings.
