A Superior OS Especially for SAP
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review

We find SUSE to be as good or better in all categories especially version upgrade paths. Once you have in upgraded a 10 year old OS 4 full versions with only 5 reboots in 3 hours you will not want to go back to dead end rebuilds.

A good fit for running SAP workloads
We went straight to SLES when we initially started migrating oracle to hana since at that time, HANA came on a pre-installed server that had to be purchased from an official vendor, and SLES was the only allowed OS. We stuck with SLES after we became certified to do our own installations because so far, SLES was a good fit for us.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server leads the market
The lack of professional support in distributions like Debian or Ubuntu were crucial for the decision using SUSE instead.
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Ubuntu Linux
For our environment, SLES provides a more cost-efficient, standards-based Linux with Enterprise support available than their competitors. They also provide the best compatibility between their enterprise Linux and community distributions.

good sollution for running SAP workloads

For running SAP workloads, I'd definitely recommend using SLES. AIX is running on power infrastructure which is very pricey and RedHat required a different license and a lot more parameterization to get SAP up and running properly.

Tired of RedHat? Try SLES!
- CentOS and Ubuntu Linux
SLES is comparable to RedHat, where both of them have massive customer loyalty in their own niche markets.
However, RedHat is much widely used, even though both of them are RPM-based. RedHat has the backing of the USA tech companies which just make them a giant compared to SLES. However, sometimes the application development is much easier in SLES compared to RedHat. Also if you are in the market for a very long term solution based on my experience I would say it is better to go for SLES.

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
It is very similar, but SLES wins on the manageability front, with good built-in tools, the ability to upgrade major versions, and the ability to run on the latest Power 9 systems. It is our platform of choice for SAP; there is great collaboration between SAP and SUSE, and it shows on both products and greatly benefits us in stability, security, performance, and manageability.

The Best O/S for your SAP HANA environment

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS
We consulted our service provider on their recommendation and made some research ourselves. It was a hands down win for Suse Linux on both fronts so we readily chose Suse Linux for our operating system of choice.
Red Hat and CentOS would almost be of the same distro package, except Red Hat is commercial and CentOS is a community maintained distro. However, as what was gathered from various sources, Suse Linux is the best choice for our SAP HANA.

Mature, Reliable and Secure Linux Offering
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
We have been using RHEL in most of our other projects. We chose Suse Linux for their pricing model and ease of patching. There is no other major pros and cons of RHEL over Suse Linux and vice versa.
