Fresh news from the world of technology: the validation of SAP HANA 2.0 on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP6 platform has been completed successfully. What does this mean for companies running SAP systems? What concrete benefits can this solution bring? Let us look deeper and find out what lies behind it.
SAP HANA and SUSE - an ideal partnership for your organisation
SAP HANA is a powerful platform that forms the foundation of SAP business systems, but its capabilities extend well beyond that. This advanced tool not only manages data at remarkable speed, providing instant access to critical information, but also serves as a platform for processing large data volumes, real-time analytics and supporting innovative applications. SAP HANA enables organisations to integrate data from multiple sources, carry out complex analyses, develop high-performance applications and manage many other tasks that are key to a dynamic business environment. As a result, organisations can not only make faster and better decisions, but also effectively manage their entire IT infrastructure, develop new technologies and introduce innovations that drive their growth. When SAP HANA runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications (SLES for SAP), organisations gain access to a robust and reliable platform capable of meeting even the most demanding requirements.
The recently completed validation of SAP HANA 2.0 on SLES for SAP 15 SP6 confirms that these two solutions work together seamlessly, ensuring high availability, stability and performance of systems. SUSE, as a trusted SAP partner, fully understands the critical nature of SAP applications and is fully committed to delivering a platform that meets the highest standards.
Which versions have been verified?
Organisations wishing to use SLES for SAP 15 SP6 should ensure that their SAP HANA 2.0 platform is on the minimum supported version, namely: from SPS05 Maintenance Revision 59.12 and SPS07 Maintenance Revision 77 onwards. This applies to both the Intel and Power architectures. As of now, SAP HANA 2.0 fully supports the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP6 platform. This is an important step that underscores SUSE’s commitment to delivering a predictable and reliable platform for SAP HANA environments, enabling organisations to confidently run their SAP projects on a specialised operating system.
For more detailed information on supported operating system versions, please refer to SAP Note 2235581 - “SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems”. In addition, for general requirements regarding SLES for SAP 15 and optimal operating system settings, it is worth consulting SAP Note 2684254 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for SLES 15 / SLES for SAP Applications 15.
