Deploying AI systems in an organization requires significant investments in technology, talent, and training. There is a fear that the expected ROI (return on investment) will not materialize, especially if the deployment does not meet business needs.

This is where a reference architecture like the AI Test Drive comes into play. It allows companies to test the feasibility and return on investment of AI solutions in a controlled environment before committing to significant investments. AI Test Drive thus addresses not only technical risks, but also commercial risks, enabling companies to make informed decisions.

The field of data science is rapidly evolving, and many professionals are looking for a reliable platform to effectively evaluate AI applications. However, such architectures must support a range of cutting-edge technologies. So let’s examine each technology component and its importance in this context.

1. Platform and Cluster Management with SUSE Rancher:

Kubernetes has become the gold standard for container orchestration. Rancher, a comprehensive Kubernetes management tool, supports the operations and scalability of AI models. It allows the management of Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud environments, simplifying the roll-out and management of AI applications.

2. Hyper-convergence with Harvester:

In contemporary AI environments, which are usually cloud native environments, the capacity for hyper-convergence—integrating computation, storage, and networking into one solution—is invaluable. Harvester offers this capability, leading to enhanced efficiency and scalability for AI applications.

3. Computational Power through Intel:

Intel technologies, notably the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, are fine-tuned for AI applications. Additional features like the Intel® Deep Learning Boost accelerate deep learning tasks. In particular, the Gen 4 has separate AI accelerators on board, which makes this type of Processor significantly different from the previous ones and delivers incredible performance. In a project involving vehicle detection, the Gen 3 had an inference of 30 frames / s. This was a very good performance. Gen 4 of over 5000(!) frames/s, due to the accelerators inside the chip.

4. Storage Solutions with NetApp:

Data is the core of AI. NetApp provides efficient storage solutions specially designed to store and process massive datasets, which is crucial for AI projects.

5. Parallel Processing with NVIDIA:

The parallel processing capability that NVIDIA GPUs bring to the table is invaluable in AI applications where large datasets must be processed simultaneously. 

6. Network Infrastructure by Juniper:

The backbone of every AI platform is its networking. Juniper delivers advanced network solutions ensuring efficient, bottleneck-free data traffic flow. This is vital in AI settings where there are demands for low latency and high bandwidth.

Now You Can Evaluate Your AI Projects Practically & Technically:

In our increasingly digital age, digital trust is the new gold standard. This trust isn’t something that’s just given—it’s earned, deliberately, through rigorous cybersecurity practices and robust data protection measures. As your business moves more of its operations into the cloud, the ability to build and maintain this digital trust becomes critical to your success.

At its core, digital trust is about the level of confidence your customers, partners and stakeholders have in your company’s digital operations. This trust is built on the belief that their data—both personal and business—will be handled with the utmost care, securely stored and used responsibly. It’s not just a promise; it’s a commitment that flows through every aspect of your business, from the core infrastructure right down to your customer-facing apps.

So, how do your customers really feel about you? Is their data safe with you? Are your digital operations secure? Is their information handled with respect and discretion? Can they really trust you?

At SUSE, we’re in the business of helping you answer these questions confidently. We help you protect critical data by staying ahead of potential threats, integrating security across all environments, and using automation to fill gaps—all while keeping the door open for innovation. Our ultimate goal is to nurture digital trust between you and your customers, strengthening it at every opportunity.

Navigating the delicate forces of digital trust, however, comes with its fair share of challenges:

• Emerging Security Threats: Ever-evolving cybersecurity threats loom over our digital landscapes. Staying one step ahead is crucial, demanding a proactive strategy that includes threat intelligence, vulnerability management and continuous monitoring.

• Incident Response and Recovery: Even with the best efforts, cybersecurity incidents happen. A robust incident response plan is your safety net, ensuring business continuity and maintaining digital trust when things go askew.

• Budgeting for Security and the Security Talent Gap: Cybersecurity is a complex endeavor, and there’s not enough talent to go around. As companies grapple with balancing cybersecurity investments with other business priorities, affordable security solutions and third-party expertise become indispensable.

• Security Integration: With today’s organizations operating across diverse environments, from core to cloud to edge, integrating security across the entire stack is crucial to protect sensitive data and maintain digital trust.

• Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to regulations like GDPR and CCPA isn’t just about avoiding penalties—it’s a fundamental way to protect customer data and build a robust security posture that not only meets but exceeds these standards.

This disruptive business landscape requires a holistic approach to establishing, growing and maintaining digital trust. Here’s where SUSE’s suite of solutions comes into play. Here are just a few ways we provide integrated features that bolster digital trust:

• SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) helps organizations run their critical applications as a secure, adaptable operating system.

• Rancher provides a simple, comprehensive platform for organizations to securely manage their modern cloud native stack anywhere.

• NeuVector, SUSE’s container security solution, offers advanced visibility, threat detection and mitigation capabilities and simplified compliance.

SUSE

The ground-breaking combination of IBM and SUSE security and sustainability initiatives pave the way to better choices for our customers.

This is exemplified by IBM’s recent announcement of the new IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper 4 and IBM z16 Single Frame platforms.  These latest systems:

• Launch a new era of sustainability with a more cost-effective rackmount system.
• Provide advanced security with confidential computing that leverages a galvanized Linux infrastructure.
• Deliver choices to customers and developers on running the most ideal Linux environment for their business-critical workloads.

“It’s great to see SUSE’s support for the newest members of our z16 and LinuxONE families”, said Matt Whitbourne, Director, Product Management – OS & Virtualization, IBM Z & LinuxONE Systems, IBM. “SUSE Linux on IBM Z customers continue to be amongst our most important IBM Z customers, and we follow an open approach for Linux distributions on IBM Z, including SUSE Linux. We continue to work closely with SUSE on development, testing and support of SUSE Linux on IBM Z, to benefit our joint customers.”

Sustainability:  It’s more than a word

The IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper is built from the ground up on the very principle of sustainability. Just by itself, the Rockhopper design delivers the highest level of utilization for maximum efficiency.  With its optimized architecture to meet the needs of today’s businesses, the Rockhopper design also embraces sustainability without compromise.

As an open source company, SUSE also lives in the world of sustainability.  The whole concept of open source is that it delivers timely, agile innovation that acts as a force for good. Open source, by its very nature, is about teamwork and collaboration.  It’s about focusing resources where they are most needed, sharing knowledge, and dedicating resources to where they are most needed.

SUSE as a company promotes sustainability through action — from our “GoGreen” employee network to our green operations, products, and solutions to our partnership with Eden Reforestation Project plant the SUSE Forest in Madagascar, supporting reforestation and battling climate change.

Security:  From data at rest to data in use

Security is no doubt a hot topic.  And from its beginnings in the 1960s, the mainframe has earned its place as one of the most secure hardware platforms made.  The IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper 4 continues this tradition by offering a trusted execution environment that supports confidential computing for data in use and pervasive encryption for data at rest and data in flight.   IBM designed the new Rockhopper to support 7x9s of resiliency which equates to just 3 seconds of downtime and quantum safe computing to protect encrypted data not only today but also in the future.

SUSE also takes security seriously.  From our SLSA-compliant secure software supply chain to our security certifications for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, SUSE builds all of our solutions with security at the core.  SUSE is one of a small group of companies that knows about critical vulnerabilities before they are published, resulting in fast responses for SUSE releasing fixes for security issues. And with the automation capabilities of SUSE Manager, your servers can remain up-to-date and compliant.

SLES is one of the very few OSs that have the highest level of certifications.  SLE uses a “certify once, use many” approach which means that all certifications and security processes are met/inherited from the common code base – whether you are using SLE Micro or SLES 15 SP4. In addition, SLE supports two different Linux Security Modules – SELinux and AppArmor – each with its own approach to securing access.  Supplying support for both SELinux and AppArmor gives customers a choice in how they want and need to manage security.

Flexibility:  At any scale

The new IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper 4 delivers flexible consumption options.  In fact, this new hardware platform is perfect for managing the demands of your digital business.  Rockhopper is a massively scalable system holding up to 16TB of storage.  And for the first time, you can order the Rockhopper as factory frame or rack mounted.  Now that’s flexibility.

SUSE also believes in the power of flexibility.  Starting with a secure common code base, SLE is a modular operating system that paves the way for business transformation.  From the same secure common codebase, SLE Micro for IBM zSystems and LinuxONE provides a hardened and lightweight purpose-built operating system for containerized and virtualized workloads. If cloud native deployments on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE are interesting, SUSE Rancher Prime provides the flexibility of deployment using containerized workloads.

IBM and SUSE have been partners for more than 25 years.  SUSE is pleased to support the new IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper 4.

Microsoft and SUSE have been close technology partners for many years. We create innovative solutions that help customers accelerate the migration to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud environment. Recently there are key activities that will help customers transform business productivities.
