SUSE To Build The Most Open, Secure,
Enterprise-Grade GenAI Platform
BERLIN, June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (SUSECON 2024) -- SUSE®, a
global leader in innovative, open and secure enterprise-grade
solutions, today unveiled SUSE AI, SUSE's vision and strategy for
open, secure, and enterprise-grade generative AI. SUSE AI offers a
turn-key platform that provides enterprises the freedom to run
private GenAI solutions with the LLM of their choice on-premises or
in the cloud. Customers and partners are invited to join the SUSE
AI Early Access Program, a collaborative initiative to inform the
future of secure open source AI for enterprises.

"As the value of GenAI - and the need for it - becomes more and
more apparent, we are seeing customers struggle with compliance
risks, shadow AI, and a lack of control, not to mention the vendor
lock-in and skyrocketing costs associated with early-stage AI
solutions," said Pilar Santamaria, VP of AI Worldwide at SUSE.
"SUSE's approach to AI, delivered in our SUSE AI solutions and the
SUSE AI Early Access Program, will help address many of these
issues for customers, as well as for SUSE, as we also face the same
challenges as enterprises in implementing GenAI."
SUSE AI Solutions
Building on customer, partner and
community insights from the Early Access Program, SUSE AI
solutions, which are planned to be launched later in 2024, will
offer enterprises a modular, secure, vendor and LLM-agnostic GenAI
platform that will dissolve silos and reduce costs associated with
enterprise generative AI implementations. These AI solutions, built
on SUSE's industry-leading open source, enterprise-grade SUSE
Linux, Rancher Prime Kubernetes management and NeuVector Prime
security offerings, will enable enterprises to control data flows
in a secure, private environment, reducing regulatory compliance
risk and improving security. As enterprises grapple with balancing
AI-driven innovations and associated risks, SUSE AI solutions will
provide greater oversight for mission critical data to better
harness the full potential of GenAI.
SUSE AI Early Access Program
Aligned with the
organization's commitment to collaboration and co-innovation, SUSE
is launching SUSE AI Early Access Program, a collaborative
initiative to provide a basis for secure and compliant open source
generative AI in the enterprise. The SUSE AI Early Access Program
brings together customers and partners with SUSE's GenAI experts
and will play a critical role in the future direction of SUSE AI
solutions. Early Access Program customers will access the latest
builds of the SUSE AI solution, as well as work with SUSE
consultants and technical support to leverage SUSE AI
solutions and realize the promise of Private AI.
SUSE AI Strategy and Roadmap
SUSE approaches AI with a
strong foundation in open source principles, a commitment to
delivering security, and a belief that customer options, including
privacy by design, is paramount. SUSE AI takes a responsible AI
approach by which enterprises are empowered to choose the models
and tools they prefer to get the most out of AI in a private, safe
and secure environment.
AI at SUSE is a different AI, a "human first AI". SUSE
understands the value of responsible AI and strives to maximize the
capabilities of AI alongside human talent, putting the person in
center. AI will augment how work gets done, removing repetitive
barriers and helping organizations scale, and innovate, at
pace. SUSE focuses, not only on the benefits of AI, but also
on the aspirational goals attached to each AI use case. SUSE's AI
roadmap will usher in a wave of enterprise ready AI, focused on
protecting data and putting customers in control.
SUSE is dedicated to creating the top open AI platform that
speeds up the development of AI models and applications. Our goal
is to become the leading AI technology provider for enterprises,
offering openness, choice, cost-efficiency, and simplicity, making
AI accessible to everyone.
"The rapid evolution of AI, both as a technology and a
market, has left many enterprises lacking the right fit
solutions for their specific needs," said Frank Feldmann, Chief Strategy Officer, SUSE.
"With so much at stake, customers need flexibility to choose which
AI technologies, including LLMs, to build with, to innovate faster
in a secure way."
Growing an AI Ecosystem, powered by SUSE
SUSE's
portfolio is already helping customers unlock the potential of AI.
Fujitsu, a global partner for digital and sustainability
transformation has developed a private generative AI solution built
using SUSE's market-leading Kubernetes management platform, Rancher
Prime and SUSE Linux Enterprise. This solution enables
organizations to easily contextualize and query information in
generative AI. With this solution, Fujitsu is meeting its
customers' need for a secure GenAI platform.
"Generative AI is helping to unlock innovation within our world.
Our customers' employees already use Generative AI in their private
lives and naturally want to use this technology at work too. With
our solution, they can do this in a secure and protected setting,"
said Udo Würtz, Chief Data Officer, European Platform Business
at Fujitsu. "As a trusted partner, SUSE supports us with our GenAI
product strategy through their collaboration, expertise and
commitment to choice for customers."
