About this product

SUSE highlights.

Code IT deploys and manages SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for Qatar's most demanding workloads — SAP HANA, S/4HANA, and other mission-critical applications that require SAP-certified infrastructure. Our 30+ SAP-on-SUSE production nodes demonstrate a consistent track record in regulated enterprise environments.

For organizations that cannot tolerate security maintenance windows, SUSE Live Patching applies CVE fixes to running kernels without a reboot. Long-Term Service Pack Support (LTSS) extends patch coverage well past standard end-of-life, which is essential for regulated environments with slow upgrade cycles.

  • SLES for SAP Applications — certified and optimized for SAP HANA and S/4HANA
  • HA clustering with Pacemaker and DRBD — active-passive failover for SAP and databases
  • SUSE Live Patching — apply CVE security patches to running kernels with zero reboots
  • LTSS — Long-Term Service Pack Support for extended lifecycle compliance beyond standard EOL
  • SAP Solution Manager integration — monitoring, alerting, and landscape reporting
  • SLES for general workloads — web, middleware, and infrastructure on the same certified base

Why Code IT

Why Code IT for SUSE.

Our Linux engineers have deployed SLES on over 30 SAP production nodes in Qatar, including regulated environments where downtime is not an option. We configure live kernel patching so your security posture stays current without maintenance windows, and we manage LTSS subscriptions for systems that cannot follow SAP's standard upgrade pace. From initial sizing through HA cluster tuning, we own the full SUSE stack.

Start with a no-cost LTSS assessment.

We'll review your current SLES versions, check SAP certification status, and identify which nodes need LTSS or live patching.
