SuSE Linux implements mySAP.com on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server

SuSE Linux has implemented mySAP.com on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server at its headquarters in Nuremberg, Germany.

The company has been using SAP's enterprise resource planning tool on Compaq hardware for its business operations since the beginning of this year. Since mid-2001, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server is certified for mySAP.com and can be deployed from corporate users worldwide with full support by SAP AG and SuSE Linux AG. The migration to mySAP.com is taken in gradual steps, with SuSE planning the implementation of the customer relationship management tool myCRM.com with an integrated e-commerce solution next. SuSE Linux AG utilizes four Compaq ProLiant series machines as server platform for the central mySAP.com installation; two Compaq ProLiant DL580 systems for the SAP R/3 installation and the SAP DB installation, and two Compaq ProLiant ML530 systems as development and test servers. The implementation of mySAP.com was a major milestone for SuSE, with extensive system know-how gained through its contribution to the SAP LinuxLab. Most of the implementation was realized by SuSE's own staff.
