SAP Applications Certified On Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Red Hat has announced that SAP AG has certified the SAP NetWeaver platform on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform. The certification includes the virtualisation technology embedded in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 for use with SAP applications.

SAP's certification helps ensure that all criteria necessary for full interoperability of Red Hat solutions with all modules of SAP NetWeaver are in compliance. Furthermore, it offers a complete solution stack through the integration of Red Hat Global File System (GFS), Cluster Suite, SELinux and further technologies for high availability, storage management and security.

"Customers can substantially reduce costs, time and effort with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform that would only otherwise be possible through the purchase, implementation and maintenance of software for virtualisation, storage management and high availability," said Werner Knoblich, vice president and general manager EMEA at Red Hat.

"This certification of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 by SAP, a Red Hat Premium Partner, underlines the close partnership of the two market leaders and brings additional innovation and investment security for enterprise customers,” he added.
