"We evaluated several Linux distributions and chose SUSE Linux Enterprise
because it was the most cost-effective and flexible operating system," said
SUSE Linux Enterprise will allow Invitrogen to more easily manage its complex IT environment, consisting of a mix of different platforms and applications including HP servers, Oracle databases and Web servers, as well as PeopleSoft ERP applications comprised of e-commerce, human resources, payroll and customer relationship management. SUSE Linux Enterprise gives the company the flexibility to run its applications on any platform and better utilize hardware through cost-effective virtualization.
Invitrogen is also working with PlateSpin, a Novell company that helps enterprises manage and extend their use of server virtualization in the data center, for physical-to-physical migration and Linux physical-to-virtual server migration. The combination of PlateSpin(R) data center management software and SUSE Linux Enterprise helps companies maximize their IT investments by leveraging Novell's broad virtualization capabilities.
"SUSE Linux Enterprise can add value to a dynamic organization, such as
Invitrogen, looking to minimize cost and complexity," said
