SAP is recommending SUSE as its preferred Linux platform, the stuff of which stacks are made, and Novell is going start being the first line of defense for people running SAP applications on SUSE.
SAP's great rival, Oracle, of course is now peddling its own anti-Red Hat Linux.
Novell is supposed to handle both the apps and the operating system under a maintenance-and-support arrangement with SAP styled SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Priority Support.

Microsoft going to set up an optimization lab at SAP headquarters in Germany.
