linux enterprise server

Marking the two-year anniversary of their agreement to build a bridge between SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Windows, Microsoft Corp.

Novell is getting increasingly desperate for sales. And so it is going to try and cannibalise the tiny GNU/Linux market - try and pull customers using Red Hat and CentOS over to using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

LinuxPlanet: "Do you really want to be running cheap and cheerful server software at the heart of your enterprise?

Red Hat and Novell offer serious Linux server software, with 'serious names like "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" or "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server", and if you want them you have to pay serious money for subscriptions."

Enterprise Networking Planet: "It's growing because in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) there are at least two distros that are seen as enterprise ready and suitable for the big time, and also because it's cheap, manageable, good for virtualization and it runs the software that many people want to use."

In addition, application providers will be able to leverage SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Novell when building VMware Ready virtual appliances using rPath's technology platform.
