"To the benefit of our joint customers, TSANet assists us in tackling problems in collaboration with various technology providers in an efficient manner. This way, we create additional security for the successful deployment of Linux in mission-critical systems."

More than any other provider in the Linux market, SUSE has the competence, experience, and infrastructure required to provide efficient high-level support services. Through the close interweaving of support with the development competence of the SUSE Labs, SUSE can solve problems down to the level of the Linux source code.
