SUSE and SHI International Corp. have released SHI Cloud, a next-generation infrastructure-as-a-service offering designed for IT organizations, will offer SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as its premier Linux-based operating system. IT organizations of all sizes will have the ability to run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on SHI Cloud, paying only for the hours they use. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server will be available across SHI Cloud’s secure, high-performance and industrial-grade Managed Private, Private and Multi-Tenant cloud offerings. In addition, customers will have access to SUSE’s most current security patches, bug fixes and new features so they can keep their SUSE Linux Enterprise Server VMs running on SHI Cloud’s innovative vCore platform up to date.
Henry Fastert, Chief Technologist & Managing Partner, Enterprise Solution Services, SHI said, "Our customers are interested in the cost savings, business agility, disaster recovery and right-sizing on demand benefits of cloud, but don’t want to rebuild all of their applications just to take advantage of enterprise-capable solutions. SHI Cloud is a logical, transparent extension of an organization’s infrastructure that doesn’t require replacing existing systems. This is why SHI has chosen to work with open standards based partners with deep industry expertise such as SUSE in order to help customers utilize the industry's best available technologies to build unique clouds that support business needs."
