In a statement, SUSE said Alibaba Cloud had joined its cloud service provider program which meant that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications were both available in the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace globally.
It said additional SUSE products would be made available in the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace in the near future.
SUSE claimed that customers could deploy SAP-as-a-Service with a few clicks and fully deploy the services often in less than 30 minutes.
