SUSE Unveils Agentic Innovations And Partnerships

SUSE, a global leader of enterprise open source solutions, announced a series of innovations and strategic partnerships at its annual SUSECON conference, reinforcing its mission to help organisations innovate without compromise by delivering the freedom of choice across their IT environments. Across these announcements, SUSE is delivering on a clear vision: simplifying modern infrastructure while empowering organisations with the freedom to choose how they build, deploy and scale.

As enterprises face mounting pressure to adopt AI while maintaining resilience, controlling costs and meeting regulatory demands, SUSE is delivering a unified approach to infrastructure - spanning Linux, Kubernetes, AI and edge - designed to simplify complexity and give IT leaders the ability to run workloads anywhere.

“This year’s lineup of partnerships and product innovations at SUSECON reaffirms our commitment to open source and vision of helping customers break down barriers to avoid vendor lock-in,” said Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen, CEO, SUSE.

Powering Sovereign AI at Scale: SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA

SUSE launched SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA, a unified software stack for enterprise AI designed to give enterprises the tools to assemble, deploy, manage and govern AI applications consistently and at scale across any footprint, from the data center to the edge. The platform prioritises digital sovereignty and zero-trust security, allowing organisations to use NVIDIA’s latest AI technology while keeping sensitive logic and proprietary data protected within their private infrastructure.

SUSE + Switch + NVIDIA = Supercharge AI Workloads

Switch and SUSE have partnered to accelerate the development of Digital Twin systems and "AI Factories," leveraging SUSE AI and NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to simulate and optimise data center performance in real-time. This unified, open-source platform allows Switch to run complex AI models and high-fidelity 3D simulations on the same shared infrastructure, enhancing operational efficiency and security.

Agentic AI Partner Ecosystem: Out of the Box Orchestration

As the premier infrastructure for agentic AI, SUSE has established a strategic ecosystem through integrations with premier platforms such as Amazon Quick, Fsas Technologies, n8n and Revenium, and collaborators including Stacklok, to provide a secure, vendor-agnostic foundation for autonomous operations across any Linux or Kubernetes environment. By embedding intelligence and MCP-driven automation directly into the core infrastructure, SUSE enables enterprises to transform traditional IT into self-optimising systems that balance rapid innovation with strict enterprise-grade governance.

By the Numbers: The Digital Resilience “Sovereignty Gap”

SUSE’s 2026 research identifies a critical "sovereignty gap," where 98% of enterprises prioritise digital sovereignty as a strategic goal, yet only 52% have moved from ambition to active execution. The findings emphasise that while AI serves as the primary catalyst for infrastructure modernisation, organisations must bridge the divide between rapid innovation and jurisdictional control to ensure long-term digital resilience and regulatory compliance.

Automating Virtualisation Migration and Eliminating Vendor Lock-In

SUSE has partnered with Cloudbase Solutions to integrate the Coriolis® migration tool, enabling enterprises to move virtualised workloads from VMware and public clouds to SUSE Virtualisation with zero downtime. This automated, agentless solution also supports mission-critical SAP environments, allowing businesses to modernise their infrastructure on a single platform that manages both virtual machines and containers.

Other SUSECON news includes:

• SUSE Portfolio Now Available on Oracle Marketplace, Expanding Hybrid Cloud Flexibility
• Annual customer awards including: Airbus Defence and Space, CVS Health, Carnival Corporation, and PepsiCo among others.
