SUSE Strengthens Open-Source Offerings with AI Partnerships and Agentic Product Innovations at SUSECON 2026
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 prioritizes digital sovereignty and zero-trust security, allowing organizations 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 optimize 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-optimizing systems that balance rapid innovation with strict enterprise-grade governance.
India’s AI and Digital Resilience “Sovereignty Gap”
SUSE’s 2026 research identifies a critical sovereignty gap in India. 41% of Indian enterprises rank digital sovereignty among their top technology priorities, which is 35% above the global average. In India, 67% of organizations pursue digital sovereignty primarily for security and risk reduction, while 59% cite data residency and auditability as core drivers. This reflects mounting regulatory pressure in one of the world’s fastest-digitalizing economies.
“With the implementation of AI ranked as India’s top budget priority for the next two years, Indian enterprises face the urgent need to scale innovation while closing the gap between sovereignty ambition and on-the-ground resilience,” said Josep Garcia, General Manager Asia Pacific, SUSE.
Automating Virtualization Migration and Eliminating Vendor Lock-In
SUSE has partnered with Cloudbase Solutions to integrate the Coriolis migration tool, enabling enterprises to move virtualized workloads from VMware and public clouds to SUSE Virtualization with zero downtime. This automated, agentless solution also supports mission-critical SAP environments, allowing businesses to modernize their infrastructure on a single platform that manages both virtual machines and containers.
