SUSE Enhancing Value via AI ISV Partnerships

SUSE accelerates the adoption and governance of AI by expanding strategic partnerships to create a complete, integrated ecosystem. With partners such as ClearML and Katonic for MLOps & GenAI Solutions, AI & Partners for AI Governance and compliance, Avesha for GPU Orchestration and Altair for HPC & AI Solutions, we deliver purpose-built, specialized solutions that minimizes integration effort and maximizes capability.

ClearML is the newest SUSE AI partner. ClearML AI Infrastructure Platform V3.27 is SUSE Ready for AI. See details here and read our joint solution brief. ClearML’s platform integrates with SUSE RKE2, delivering a complete, production-ready solution for AI workloads.

                       “Partnering with SUSE enables us to deliver a comprehensive open source AI platform that combines SUSE RKE2’s secure foundation with ClearML’s GPU cluster optimization, multi-tenant Kubernetes capabilities, and unified abstraction over Kubernetes complexity.” said Moses Guttmann, Co-founder and CEO of ClearML. “ClearML builds on this foundation by adding optimized GPU management with dynamic factional GPUs and resource allocation, coupled with a complete AI workbench on top. Together, we’re giving enterprises the freedom to deploy AI anywhere, whether on-prem, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments, with a cloud-like experience for compute access, while  maximizing every GPU and accelerating time-to-value. This partnership removes infrastructure bottlenecks for IT teams and DevOps, while making it easier for AI teams to focus on their work with the confidence that security and performance are handled.”

​SUSE is excited to partner with Katonic AI for APAC and ANZ region, integrating their Operating System for Sovereign AI with our trusted, open-source stack, including SUSE Rancher Prime. Our joint stack empowers customers to harness AI’s power on the secure, open infrastructure they trust.

​                         “This partnership with SUSE resolves the conflict between innovation and control,” said Prem Naraindas, Founder and CEO of Katonic.ai. “By combining our platform with SUSE’s trusted stack, we empower organizations to innovate at scale and build their AI future on their own terms.” 

Altair and SUSE are providing an open, hybrid platform for AI and HPC convergence. By integrating Altair® PBS Professional™ with the SUSE AI platform, organizations can dynamically orchestrate workloads across HPC and Kubernetes environments, maximizing performance, scalability, and resource efficiency. 

                          “At Altair, we believe the future of computing lies in bridging traditional HPC with modern AI orchestration. Our collaboration with SUSE unites PBS Professional’s intelligent workload management with the SUSE AI platform to deliver a seamless, hybrid environment where compute resources are dynamically optimized. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to helping enterprises accelerate innovation with open, scalable, and secure AI infrastructure.”

Avesha and SUSE are expanding the collaboration to deliver a unified AI infrastructure stack that blends Avesha’s multi-cluster GPU orchestration (EGS, KubeSlice, SmartScaler) with SUSE AI and enterprise-grade Kubernetes (Rancher Prime, RKE2). The integrated platform enables dynamic GPU allocation, network-aware workload placement across clusters and regions, priority-based scheduling for training and inference, distributed inference load balancing, and grid-friendly operations- driving higher utilization, lower latency, and simpler day-2 ops at scale.

                       “Enterprises don’t just need more GPUs—they need smarter infrastructure. Together with SUSE, we’re bringing an intelligent orchestration layer that places the right workload on the right resources across clusters and regions, automatically, so teams get performance, resilience, and efficiency without the operational drag.” — Raj Nair, Founder/CEO, Avesha

SUSE and AI&Partners – the collaboration of both Europe-based companies was forged from a shared vision for a more responsible and ethical digital world. At the heart of this alliance is the pressing need for effective AI data governance. Learn more about our join solution here. 

                   “The EU AI Act has set a high benchmark for responsible AI, but many organisations struggle with the complexity of its requirements,” said Sean Musch, founder & CEO of AI & Partners. “By partnering with SUSE, we are giving enterprises the ability to operationalise compliance on infrastructure they already trust. This is about turning regulation into a catalyst for safer, more innovative AI across Europe.”

Last but not least, Catalogic Software also recently certified their Cloudcasa backup and DR solution with SUSE AI. CloudCasa is a powerful, cloud-native service designed to simplify backup and recovery of Kubernetes clusters and SUSE Virtualization (formerly Harvester) or KubeVirt VMs.
