"Josh Dorfman, director of alliance marketing at Novell, told InternetNews.com that the new version of SLES for SAP Applications is based on SLES 11.

""Most importantly, this covers all SAP workloads," Dorfman said.

"Back in September, Novell announced an optimized version of SLES for SAP that was based on SLES 10 service pack 3. SLES 11 debuted in 2009 and was updated in 2010 with a service pack update delivering a new kernel and virtualization capabilities.
