As enterprises seek to become more agile by more rapidly delivering applications to customers, suppliers and internal users, they are embracing new architectures, processes and technologies designed to accelerate IT. SUSE® is helping customers speed application delivery with a growing portfolio of solutions built on industry-standard open source technologies. Today SUSE is introducing SUSE CaaS Platform 2, a container management platform based on Kubernetes technology, and previewing SUSE Cloud Application Platform, which is based on Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes technologies.
“IT transformation and the needs of enterprise customers are driving tremendous technology innovation,” said Nils Brauckmann, CEO of SUSE. “With the drastic growth of enterprises running workloads using containers in production and DevOps being a key part of their IT strategy moving forward, SUSE continues to expand its application delivery portfolio to align with these strategic customer needs. Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry have emerged as leading technologies around which enterprises are building strategic application delivery transformation initiatives. And with SUSE CaaS Platform and SUSE Cloud Application Platform, we are delivering these technologies to our customers in a very consumable way. It’s an example of understanding the market need and trajectory, then identifying and bringing the right technology to the enterprise.”
Al Gillen, IDC group vice president, Software Development and Open Source, said, “Streamlining the deployment of application content packaged in containers has become a key focal point for the industry. Given its historical strength with infrastructure software, SUSE is well positioned to deliver consumable solutions for deploying and operating applications using containers in an agile environment. The combination of Kubernetes orchestration and Cloud Foundry PaaS-enabling software solves a key deployment challenge for customers using two popular solutions – made better with SUSE’s commercial support behind the technology.”
