Partner Sessions

Wednesday, Sept. 21, 12:30 (HPE booth, #107),  SUSE advances “Zero Downtime” for SAP landscapes, Rick Ashford, SUSE

Application downtime, whether planned or unplanned, robs an enterprise of revenues, profits – and potentially customers.  So critical business systems need to be updated and patched as issues and security vulnerabilities are discovered and fixed. SUSE’s Live Patching technology is an important development in the Linux Server space, especially for memory-rich hardware configurations such as HANA servers that require lengthy reboot cycles.
