BERLIN, June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — (SUSECON 2024) — SUSE®, a global leader in innovative, open and secure enterprise-grade solutions, today announced new capabilities across its Linux, cloud native, and edge portfolio of enterprise infrastructure solutions to help unlock the infinite potential of open source in enterprises. Generative AI, cloud native, and edge technologies are reinventing the way enterprises build and operate applications across the cloud, edge and on-premise environments. SUSE’s new capabilities support organizations to transform their businesses by providing faster time-to-value and reduced operational costs.

“The power of choice in today’s complex IT landscape is so essential. At the same time, recent market consolidation developments are stripping many enterprises of their options,” said Dr. Thomas Di Giacomo, Chief Technology and Product Officer at SUSE. “With our uniquely open and ecosystem-first approach, SUSE is maintaining our long-held commitment to offering customers the flexibility they need with their data center infrastructure to drive results for their businesses.”

Business Critical Linux
Enterprise-grade Linux is at the core of running business critical, enterprise workloads. SUSE Linux Enterprise has always been the preference for organizations seeking agility, reliability, and choice in their core IT infrastructure. SUSE continues to empower business innovations and efficiencies through its business critical Linux portfolio. While many claim to offer confidential computing solutions, the key question lies around end-to-end capabilities to ensure maximum security and compliance. SUSE Linux extends its leadership position in confidential computing with our latest releases of SUSE Linux Enterprise and SUSE Manager, and support for Intel TDX (Trust Domain Extensions) and AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) technologies, including for hyperscalers’ compute instances, and remote attestation with SUSE Manager.

SUSE Manager itself is containerized for increased resilience, scalability and portability, as well as simple installation. This release also adds remote attestation capabilities for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6 to ensure customers can prove their remote environments are running in a Confidential Computing environment for enhanced compliance.

SUSE remains fully committed to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and is already working on an additional set of innovations for Enterprise Linux by launching the next major release of its flagship business critical Linux platform, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 16 in 2025.
