Summary
Ralph Roth is a Senior Solution Architect and Technology Consultant with over two decades of hands-on experience designing and delivering high-availability SAP and Linux enterprise solutions across EMEA. At SUSE he advises CxO-level clients on SAP HANA high-availability, clustering, migrations and disaster recovery, blending deep Linux, virtualization and cloud expertise (OpenStack, AWS, Azure, GCP) with pragmatic project and partner management. He brings a rare combination of low-level technical fluency—programming in shell, C/C++, Python, Go and assembler—and broad architectural practice in IaC, backup, security hardening and malware research dating back to the 1990s. Known for turning complex RFPs and PoCs into production-grade designs, Ralph focuses on mission-critical reliability rather than software development frameworks. His background as a longtime antivirus/security entrepreneur and contributor to virus research gives him an unusual depth in defensive architecture for large-scale SAP landscapes. Based in Hesse, Germany, he pairs a Dipl.-Ing. in Computer Engineering with RSAs in Red Hat technologies to bridge enterprise strategy and operational execution.
