This process seamlessly integrates and simplifies the installation of SAP applications. You can also easily integrate third-party components that weren't part of the original SAP solution stack. The installation is quality assured and requires almost no interaction once the workflow begins.

Optimized for performance

SAP and SUSE validated and certified the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications jointly to eliminate potential software incompatibilities, and SUSE continue to test and validate the software stack. This partnership tightly integrates the application workload with the operating system and eliminates the possibility of incompatibilities when patches are applied to either the applications or the operating system.

Support for large workloads

Page cache limit is a kernel parameter that has been introduced to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications. Some SAP solutions use systems with very large amounts of memory to keep business data in memory. Parts of this memory are very seldom accessed. When faced with filesystem load such as backup jobs, the Linux kernel decides that it's better to use memory as filesystem cache (page cache) to speed up the filesystem operations, and pages out the seldom accessed memory from the application. This feature is crucial for SAP applications to gain performance improvements. This feature is described in SAP Note 1557506.
