SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.1

A multimodal operating system that paves the way for IT transformation in the software-defined era.

The modern and modular OS helps simplify multimodal IT, makes traditional IT infrastructure efficient and provides an engaging platform for developers. As a result, you can easily deploy and transition business-critical workloads across on-premise and public cloud environments.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, based on latest SUSE Linux Enterprise, is another example of our open approach helping you optimize and modernize your multimodal IT infrastructure.
