A New SUSE SAP Business One installer image is ready

Following our motto „We adapt you succeed“ together with our IHV‘s and SAP we have refreshed the installer image for SAP Business One.

First of all many thanks to all IHV‘s which have validated the new installer image. They went the extra mile with us and make this happen. I‘d like to say thank you again for the great cooperation between all parties during this validation period. The new SUSE SAP Business One installer image was validated by FUJITSU, Nutanix, Supermicro, Dell and Lenovo for their respective Hardware.

What’s new?

• SAP Business One 10 requires and supports SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15

• Base operating system including all patches until the October 2020 is “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2”

• SUSE SAP Installation Wizard (partitioning and installation of SAP HANA and SAP Business One)

• tailored for bare metal deployments only (FUJITSU, Nutanix, Supermicro, Dell, Lenovo)
