SUSE®, a global leader in innovative, reliable and secure enterprise open source solutions, today announced its deepening commitment to Google Cloud customers with an expanded portfolio of solutions now available on Google Cloud Marketplace. This expansion includes the launch of SUSE Multi-Linux Support and the listing of SUSE LTSS (Long Term Service Pack Support) on Google Cloud Marketplace, both now eligible for customer cloud committed spend. This expansion also includes continued advancements in AI, Kubernetes management, and security solutions. To further support customers in their cloud journey, SUSE is also making SUSE Consulting, SUSE Premium Support, and SUSE Training Services accessible through Google Cloud Marketplace. These services provide expert guidance, enhanced support, and comprehensive training to help organizations effectively leverage SUSE solutions and optimize their Google Cloud environments.
"SUSE's collaboration with Google Cloud allows us to deliver a broader range of open source solutions, directly meeting key customer needs,” said Elodie Mallea, Global Alliance Director Google Cloud at SUSE. “By expanding our Google Cloud Marketplace portfolio with offerings like SUSE Multi-Linux Support and introducing innovations like secure SUSE AI, we're reinforcing our commitment to customer choice, security, and continuous innovation."
According to IDC, by 2027, more than 60% of businesses will have modernized up to 50% of their cloud architecture to encourage infrastructure and cost efficiency and enable business and technical innovation. 1 SUSE's ability to deliver choice and flexibility via its deepened collaboration with Google Cloud supports this drive for cloud modernization and enables customers to foster innovation and achieve cost efficiencies.
Cloud computing delivers scalability, cost-effectiveness, enhanced security, business continuity, faster innovation, improved collaboration, high performance, and reduced IT maintenance. SUSE's expanded partnership with Google Cloud highlights its commitment to ensuring customers can access these benefits through a robust cloud strategy.
“Bringing SUSE to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy, manage, and grow the solutions on Google Cloud's trusted, global infrastructure," said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs at Google Cloud. “SUSE can now securely scale and support customers on their digital transformation journeys.”
This strategic move underscores SUSE’s dedication to providing Google Cloud users with greater flexibility, choice, and procurement efficiency. By making SUSE Multi-Linux Support and LTSS available for cloud commit, customers can now more easily leverage their existing Google Cloud investments to manage their diverse Linux environments and extend the lifecycle of their SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) deployments. This streamlines the procurement process, providing significant benefits for organizations looking to optimize their cloud spending. These offerings, along with the established SLES and SLES for SAP Applications, which also contribute to cloud commit eligibility, represent a comprehensive suite of Linux solutions for Google Cloud customers.
Additionally, SUSE is significantly investing in expanding its portfolio to address critical customer needs in high-growth areas such as SUSE AI, SUSE Rancher Prime for Kubernetes management and security, and SUSE Multi-Linux Support. These solutions, built on the power of open source, are designed to empower enterprises to run their mission-critical workloads in any environment with confidence and control.
SUSE AI is a secure and flexible enterprise-ready platform for deploying and running AI workloads. It provides organizations complete control over their GenAI initiatives - from choice of referred LLMs to deployment environments (cloud, on-prem, hybrid, air-gapped). Designed to help customers keep up with today’s rapid pace of enterprise-scale AI innovation, recent updates to this platform enable cost predictability and optimization, improved security and adaptability to changing business demands.
SUSE Rancher Prime efficiently manages and secures hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments, while SUSE Mult-Linux Support provides centralized management for diverse Linux landscapes. These solutions, along with SUSE’s trusted foundation for SAP deployments, demonstrate SUSE’s commitment to delivering best-of-breed solutions without vendor lock-in.
SUSE will be showcasing its portfolio for cloud native, Linux, AI and Services at Google Cloud Next ’25 at booth #2975. Attendees can experience live demos and speak to SUSE experts about how these open source solutions can help businesses maximize the security of their workloads, efficiently manage Kubernetes, deploy best-of-breed technologies, and accelerate their AI initiatives on Google Cloud.
