Suse Linux Enterprise expands regular support to 10 years
================================================================================
**Suse expands general support on customer requests**
Suse Linux Enterprise (SLE) version 11 and up will come with 10 years of general support instead of the seven years offered up to now, in a move that matches services from competitors.
"We will move to a new life cycle of Suse Linux Enterprise," said Nils Brauckmann, president and general manager for Suse, during his keynote at the Susecon 2013 conference in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. A [video][1] of the keynote was posted on YouTube.
"Suse Linux Enterprise 11 is the first major version to receive 10 years of general support followed by 3 years of extended support (LTSS). We consider this the new standard Suse Linux Enterprise life cycle going forward, covering versions 12 and on as well," said Gerald Pfeifer, senior director of Suse product management and operations, in an email Wednesday. Suse sells open-source Linux software to businesses.
Suse offers different packages for extended support. Extending the support to 13 years will cost US$60,000 for up to 100 servers and $80,000 for up to 500 servers, said Pfeifer. Support for an unlimited number of servers can be extended for $125,000 he said, adding that these are standard prices that Suse has been using for several years.
By moving from a seven-plus-three-year support cycle to a 10-plus-three-year support cycle, customers get more time under general support, Brauckmann said during his keynote. The decision to increase the support cycle was made a couple of weeks ago and is a direct reaction to customer requests, he added.
Suse's general support extension follows Red Hat's move in January last year to extend the life cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and 6 from seven to 10 years, in response to enterprise customer demand.
Oracle Linux, which is based on RHEL, expanded its life cycle support from eight to 10 years in February last year. CentOS, an Enterprise Linux distribution that is based on a rebuild of RHEL, has also been offering 10-year support as a standard for a while.

Suse Linux 主流支持到10年
================================================================================
**Suse在客户的要求下扩展了主流支持**
Suse Linux Enterprise (SLE)(11版)及以后的版本将会迎来10年的主流支持和而不是现在的7年此举是为了匹配竞争对手的服务。
尼尔.布劳克曼,Suse的总裁和总经理在佛罗里达的维斯塔湖举办的Suse 2013会议上的发言说"我们将进入一个新的Suse Linux Enterprise支持周期。"这个主题演讲的[视频][1]已经被放到了YouTube上。
杰拉尔德.普法伊费尔,Suse产品管理和操作的高级领导在周三的一封邮件中说"Suse Linux Enterprise 11是首个收到10年主流支持的主要版本和3年的扩展支持(LTSS)。我们也考虑向前推进这个新的Suse Linux Enterprise的支持周期同样包含了12版。"Suse售卖开源Linux软件给企业。
普法伊费尔说:"Suse提供不同的包用于扩展支持。扩展支持到13年将花费$60,000用于100台服务器或者$80,000用于500台服务器。对于无限太的服务器将会扩展到$125,000."他还说这些标准价格已经用了好几年了。
布劳克曼在他的主题演讲中说:"从一个7加3年的支持周期到10加3年的支持周期可以会有更多时间的主流支持。"他还说:"这个决定是在几周前在客户的反映下做出的。"
Suse的主流支持延长是随着Red Hat的在去年1月的行动将 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5和6的生命周期延长到10年是响应了客户的需求。
基于RHEL的Oracle Linux去年2月将支持周期从8年延长到10年。基于Enterprise Linux的重编译版本的CentOS同样将支持周期延长到10年有一段时间了。
