In a business server scenario, I see needing swap as a bad thing. Get more ram instead, there is money involved. The link is not a recommendation for openSUSE, but for SLE. For business servers.
And, lets face it, a business server is not going to need to hibernate; its a 7/24 device!
There is a use case for swap on servers, though: when mains goes out and the battery watcher daemon kicks in: hibernate the machine in emergency, in order to restore without losing anything. Al services up, nothing lost. No admin time needed, either, except to switch on.
AFAIK, our UPS monitoring daemon (apcupsd) has no such option (hibernate instead of shutdown).
