SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 12 for AMD64 & Intel64 with KVM Service Pack 5 for SUSE® SLES 12

Product Description
Oracle's Sun Server X3-2L, powered by two Intel Xeon E5-2660 processors, is the ideal system for clustered databases and virtualized business applications. This server uses a 2U enclosure and offers superior scalability with terabytes of storage and six PCIe 3.0 expansion slots. The four onboard 10 GbE ports provide ten times faster network throughput than 1 GbE ports and reduce cabling, increase data throughput and save PCIe slots for other peripherals. System performance and power efficiency are maximized with flash storage options that deliver high I/O performance and reduced energy consumption.
