Linux Enterprise Server

What is Linux Enterprise Server?

A multimodal operating system that paves the way for IT transformation

The modern, modular operating system helps simplify multimodal IT by making traditional IT infrastructure efficient and providing an engaging platform for developers. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), based on SUSE Linux Enterprise, is another example of an open approach helping the customer optimize and modernize their multimodal IT infrastructure.

Key features

Simplify multimodal IT by uniting traditional, software-defined infrastructures. SUSE Linux Enterprise's "common code base" platform helps break through IT system silos while uniting traditional, software-defined infrastructures. This enables easier migration of application workloads, improving system management and making it easier to use containers.

Make your traditional IT infrastructure more efficient with a Modular+ architecture that enables innovation and increased efficiency without breaking the pillars of traditional IT infrastructure: stability, security, and proven standards.

The Modular+ architecture also helps you deploy and transition critical workloads to public and on-premises cloud environments.

Get faster time to market by leveraging open source technology, methods, and existing knowledge.
