Code and SUSE promote migration from Unix to x86 + Linux

Attachmate group is a world-renowned software group with Novell, SUSE and other brands. In October September 4, The Attachmate group announced a strategic cooperation with Digital China. Digital China will serve as the general agent of the Attachmate group in China and be fully responsible for the marketing of Novell, SUSE, NetIQ, and other product lines under the Attachmate group. Jiang Yongqing, general manager of Attachmate group Greater China and South Korea, recalled: "three years ago, we handed over the marketing work of a product line to shenzhoudigital. In the past three years, the performance of this product line has increased significantly. Once a year, three months of sales were equivalent to the annual sales of the previous year. The strategic cooperation between the two parties will continue to leverage their unique technical and resource advantages to bring more efficient and comprehensive cloud computing services to Chinese users ."

Not just a seller

Michael Miller, vice president of SUSE Global Alliance and marketing, said that SUSE has the following principles when selecting partners: first, vendors with global sales and technical support capabilities; second, channel partners must have a deep understanding of local agents and users and have good technical service capabilities. Third, partners must have strong technical strength, the introduction of advanced technologies also requires the ability to provide value-added services, not just a "seller ". MichaelMiller believes that digital China has the above capabilities to further develop SUSE in China.

According to Jiang Yongqing, Attachmate group has long been conducting in-depth training for shenzhou.com technical personnel. On the one hand, it is necessary to allow shenzhou.com technical personnel to master related technical knowledge in a short time, on the other hand, we also need to find ways to improve the hands-on operation capabilities of technicians.

Speaking of the cooperation between the two parties, Zhang Zhian, vice president of system technology SBU of shenzhoudigital (China) Co., Ltd., said that the products of both parties are very complementary and can constitute a complete solution. In the past, Chinese users paid more attention to identity authentication and other security functions, but ignored Security Management. security management is just the strength of SUSE, the cooperation between the two parties can further enhance the security management capabilities of Digital China's overall solutions. Previously, Digital China's solutions were mostly based on Unix and Windows. Now, after working with SUSE, Linux has been introduced to provide users with more options. "In the past, we used bare metal servers instead of operating systems. Now we can provide users with server systems that are bound with the SUSELinux operating system ." Zhang Zhian added, "channel promotion is not difficult for us. The key is to improve our ability to solve technical problems. Through cooperation with SUSE, we can gradually improve our technical strength ."

Deepen cooperation through technological transformation

As early as 20 years ago, SUSE began to sell and promote its Linux products globally. It has been eight years since it entered the Chinese market. Now, Linux has gained a firm foothold in the enterprise-level data center market. Zhang Zhian said that the performance, reliability, and stability of x86 servers are getting higher and can already be comparable to that of minicomputers. Migration of applications from Unix to x86 + Linux is an irreversible trend. According to the statistics from market analysis companies, the global Unix server market is indeed shrinking, but the Chinese market is quite special, and the transfer trend is relatively slow. "In the future, a large number of users will switch to the x86 + Linux platform ". Said Zhang Zhian.

MichaelMiller also believes that the migration of applications from Unix to x86 + Linux is a natural change, mainly to meet the diversified load requirements. "We chose to cooperate with digital shenzhou.com to focus on its understanding of the needs of Chinese customers and provide appropriate solutions based on users' needs ." Said MichaelMiller.

In the cloud computing era, many manufacturers are facing the challenge of business transformation. Some SUSE peers are constantly expanding their product lines to provide a complete cloud computing solution transformation. "Our basic strategy is to provide users with more choices. For example, our products can support Virtualization Technologies from different vendors," said MichaelMiller. We are committed to an open attitude and extensive cooperation with different vendors. We will not bind users. Users can select SUSELinux, but not limited to SUSELinux. This is also an important reason why SUSELinux has become popular among users ."
