of the distribution's wide application compatibility. According to SHI, there are more than 9,200
certified applications that can be transferred from servers to SHI's cloud.
SHI joins Amazon, Dell, Intel and IBM as the latest cloud provider to adopt SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, according to SUSE.

OpenFabrics Alliance to align software with Linux kernel
The OpenFabrics Alliance (OFA) announced Wednesday that distributions of OFA’s remote direct
memory access (RDMA) software, known as OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED), will be
aligned with the mainstream kernel starting with Linux 3.2.
The streamlining move “will eliminate the need for users to download a separate OFS stack to put on top of their operating system of choice, increase the quality and ubiquity of RDMA stacks across all Linux distributions, and help the role of OFS move from being an add-on item to an integral part of the core RDMA provider in every Linux operating system,” said Doug Ledford, Red Hat lead engineer for RDMA technologies, in the OFA press release.
