OSI Hosting Selects SUSE for Dedicated Linux Hosting

"I have followed the progress of SUSE from their 7.0 personnel edition, up to the new 9.0 version for the enterprise, and I can say they are the best choice for OSI," said Jason Macer, founder of OSI Hosting.net, Inc. - which has designs on becoming the 'World's Largest Open Source Based Dedicated Hosting Company.'

Whereas in the past, Linux has been a software underdog when it comes to providing the core systems for dedicated hosting companies, Macer contends that with its new benchmarks and the ability to run cross platform on both 32-bit x86 chips and the 64-bit x86 chips, SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server is the perfect fit for OSI and their IBM xSeries Products.

"I have followed the progress of SUSE from their 7.0 personnel edition, up to the new 9.0 version for the enterprise, and I can say they are the best choice for OSI," Macer states. "We are not on a crusade here; we're on something even better. We're out here to show the world that Linux is better than Windows. That is not to say that Linux is right for everyone just yet."

In conjunction with IBM, Agilysys, and Novell, OSI is rolling out 12,000 IBM xSeries servers running SUSE Linux, along with several hundred Apple xServes. In September, OSI will add 10,000 additional IBM xSeries servers powered by SUSE Linux.
