This customer spotlight showcases a large automotive components supplier that chose SUSE Liberty Linux to avoid migrating off of CentOS and RHEL 7.
At-a-Glance
The feedback provided in this spotlight was collected and verified in a survey on SUSE's customers conducted by UserEvidence, an independent research firm.
Scenario
This enterprise automotive components producer wanted to continue to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS workloads and extend its RHEL/CentOS Linux lifecycle. During its search for a suitable Linux distribution, it evaluated competitors such as Ubuntu. An essential benefit of SUSE Liberty Linux was the ability to choose Red Hat-compatible Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for new workloads. Ultimately, the company chose SUSE Liberty Linux for its on-premises implementation, partnering with hardware provider Dell. This decision allowed them to avoid migrating off of CentOS/RHEL 7 and provided the company with a reliable and efficient Linux solution. Keeping its Linux environment secure and reducing the cost of Linux operations were also factors in the company's adoption of SUSE Liberty Linux.
