What are the technical enhancements to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in SP1?
SP1 delivers several important enhancements to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server: • SUSE Linux Enterprise Virtual Machine Driver Pack. The driver pack is a bundle of paravirtualized network, bus and block device drivers that enable unmodified Windows and Linux guest operating systems to run with near native performance in virtual environments created with the Xen hypervisor technology integrated in SUSE Linux Enterprise and running on Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) and AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) hardware. • Updated high-availability storage infrastructure. SP1 includes updates to all key components of the infrastructure, including the cluster file system, volume manager and cluster resource manager, to ensure data integrity and availability. • The result is improved support for workloads including SAP running on Oracle, DB2 and MaxDB, as well as Web services and virtual image storage. • Support for new processor technologies, including Quad-Core Intel Xeon and Quad-Core AMD Opte
