Novell announced that the first service pack (SP1) for SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 is now available to customers worldwide.
The SP1 will feature new enhancements in virtualization, high-performance computing, security, interoperability and system management.
Novell also announced the commercial availability of the SUSE Linux Enterprise virtual machine driver pack, a bundle of paravirtualized network, bus and block device drivers that enable unmodified Windows and Linux guest operating systems to run with near native performance in virtual environments created with the Xen hypervisor technology integrated in SUSE Linux Enterprise and Intel Virtualization Technology and AMD Virtualization hardware.
Jan Aril Sigvartsen, CEO of hosting provider WebDeal, claims SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 gives us the opportunity to create cost-effective solutions for our customers who are running different platforms. For example, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server gives us the opportunity to run the same distribution on all our different architectures, while virtualization lets us easily run more than one operating system on the same hardware and move this virtual system around in our data centre without downtime. This has been a cost-effective solution for us.
