7 Value Proposition Delivers best-in-class capabilities that enable enterprises to comprehensively manage SUSE Linux Enterprise and Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers with a single centralized solution Provides automated and costeffective software management, asset management, system provisioning and monitoring capabilities Enables customers to easily manage Linux server deployments across physical, virtual, and cloud environments SUSE Manager 7

8 Business Benefits Benefit 8 Proof Points Slash cost of ownership Automates system management tasks Eases data center expansion Enables more effective use of resources Early identification of server performance issues More affordable than proprietary third-party solutions Reduce complexity of managing Linux systems Tightly integrated with Linux ensuring consistent management across systems Single solution to manage Linux workloads across a range of: - Hardware architectures - Hypervisors - Cloud environments Manages SUSE Linux Enterprise Server product extensions and appliances Familiar Linux logic and terminology limits need for training Simplify compliance Improve service quality Faster completion of management and provisioning tasks with fewer errors Reduces service disruptions to the business Audits software patch status Ensures IT staff has proper authority to manage each server Tracks configuration changes Automates hardware, software and subscription inventory

9 SUSE Manager is Open Source What is the Spacewalk Project? 9 Upstream version of SUSE Manager and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite Server Red Hat open sourced RHN Satellite (GPL v2) in June 2008 What is the role of SUSE in the Spacewalk Project? SUSE Manager is based on Spacewalk, but SUSE has adapted it for SUSE Linux Enterprise SUSE is an active contributor to Spacewalk SUSE embraces the open source development model and Spacewalk is just one of the many open source projects we support

19 SUSE Studio Integration for Image Deployment 19 KVM/Xen Images Images are built in SUSE Studio (Online or Onsite) Per SUSE Manager user, a Studio account can be configured in SUSE Manager. A user can choose from all Studio images built by the account provided Image-based installation triggered from SUSE Manager, images are directly downloaded from Studio to the KVM/Xen host and started up Auto-registration of images in SUSE Manager Future: Choose from Gallery (not just per user account) Deploy to physical hosts Deploy to OpenStack, VMware, HyperV
