SUSE has announced that more than 9,000 software applications are fully certified on the latest versions of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, with independent software vendors (ISVs) continuing to support new applications each month. In fact, a comparison of SUSE.com and RedHat.com shows that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server offers 33 per cent more certified applications than the latest versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
"IBM has been a strong supporter of the Linux community and the open-source development model for over 12 years. As the number one contributor of applications to SUSE's ISV catalog, we are pleased to work with SUSE to deliver a wide variety of high quality applications to our joint customers," said Jean Staten Healy, Director, Worldwide Linux and Open Virtualization, IBM.
Michael Miller, Vice-President, Global Alliances and Marketing, SUSE, said, "We remain committed to building a strong ISV community superior to any other Linux vendor. By listening to and meeting the needs of our partners, we are, in turn, able to help those who choose SUSE Linux Enterprise Server achieving greater flexibility and control over their data center."
