SUSE Launches 4 New Predefined Consulting Services: Your Fast Track to Secure, Virtualized, and AI-Ready Infrastructure

At SUSE, we know that modern IT organizations are under pressure to move faster, do more with less, and stay secure—across the core, cloud, and edge. That’s why we continue to expand our Predefined Consulting Services (PCS) portfolio with outcome-focused, time-bound offerings that help you get moving—quickly, confidently, and with expert guidance.

We’re excited to introduce four new PCS offerings that target high-priority customer needs across Security, Virtualization, and AI.

1. Security – Initialize

Security isn’t a destination—it’s a discipline. Security Initialize gives customers a structured one-week engagement to assess their current SUSE Rancher environment and establish foundational security controls.

Key Highlights:

• Identity, access, and policy configuration review
• Hands-on deployment of SUSE Security in a non-prod environment

Ideal for customers unsure where to start or seeking a baseline before scaling their container platforms.

2. Virtualization – Test Drive
