Empowering Customer Choice: Diverse SUSE Partnerships for Every Customer’s Journey

At SUSE, our commitment to a thriving ecosystem is not just about adapting to market changes; it’s built on a foundation of deeply held principles, one of which is, support for Customer Choice.

Respect for Customer Choice: Empowering Diverse Solutions

The most defining principle for SUSE’s partner strategy is our profound respect for Customer Choice. Our customers operate diverse technical landscapes – from traditional datacenters to expansive cloud environments and the rapidly expanding edge, and every configuration in between. 

They choose the technologies and configurations that best suit their unique business needs. It is precisely because of this commitment to Customer Choice that we strategically invest in partners across our customer’s buying journey.

Our Partner Ecosystem: A Foundation for Innovation

Through our partner ecosystem, we aim to provide our customers with the widest possible choice for finding innovative solutions built on SUSE technologies. 

For instance, in the realm of modern virtualization, our partnership with Veeam Kasten, leveraging SUSE Rancher Prime, provides customers with enhanced data security, measurable cost savings, and seamless operations for their cloud-native environments, moving beyond traditional VMs.

For customers seeking trusted AI solutions for SAP workloads, our collaboration with FIS Group ensures powerful, trustworthy, and compliant AI applications, even in highly regulated industries with sensitive data. This partnership provides a secure runtime environment for containerized AI workloads and simplifies the operation of AI workloads, allowing for quick implementation of new models.

For customers operating in cloud environments, SUSE’s container security solutions work with Azure’s native tools. They offer running-time visibility, policy enforcement, and full-stack protection across hybrid environments. This helps bridge the shared responsibility gap with zero-trust scanning and observability for various Azure container services. 

Another example of how our partnerships present customers with choice is our work with industry leaders Lenovo and AWS to help customers in the retail industry build modern, scalable, and resilient IT infrastructure using Kubernetes, open-source software, and optimized hardware solutions.

This commitment to customer choice dictates our investment in a diverse range of partner attributes. Customers can choose the solutions and support structures that best fit their needs. This helps them use SUSE technologies to their full potential in their chosen environments.
