SUSE® Linux Enterprise 10 helps you fuel innovation by delivering UNIX*-like performance and reliability on both commodity and high-end hardware.

With scalability to 1,024 CPUs, more than 10 TB of physical memory on the server, accelerated graphics and interoperability on the desktop, an automated installation system, remote administration and world-class, enterprise-level support, SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 is the platform of choice for server and desktop computing in Electronic Design Automation (EDA).

Today’s consumer electronics demand increasingly complex designs. As a manufacturer of semiconductors or electronics, you are facing challenging decisions:

• What levels of the design and/or manufacturing processes to outsource;
• How to marry the increasing costs of next generation R&D and fab construction with the need to innovate;
• How to switch towards a model of large design jobs generated by the push towards smaller chips;
• How to maximize hardware utilization given the constraints posed by EDA tools that are not yet multi-processor aware.

Novell® understands the challenges of the electronics industries and offers many unique features that impact EDA with SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 such as:

• Virtualization technology
• High Availability Storage Foundation
• Hyper-threading technology and System Resource Affinity Table (SRAT) improvements
• NUMA development tools
• Integrated application security and system monitoring
• Integrated management tools
• Support for Microsoft* Active Directory, Open LDAP and Novell eDirectory™
• Flexible subscriptions
• Software development kit with the latest developer toolchain
• Novell Customer Center
