Your OS is the core of your stack. If that foundation is controlled by a vendor subject to shifting regulations or sudden corporate strategy pivots, your entire infrastructure becomes a passenger to their decisions. SUSE gives you three paths to improvement depending on your goals: switch, manage, or migrate.

• Switch from Red Hat support to SUSE Multi-Linux Support. Your OS stays the same, and your teams do not need to retrain. Only your support provider and patch supply chain changes.

• Manage mixed Linux estates with SUSE Multi-Linux Manager, including SLES and remaining RHEL or Ubuntu systems, all from a single console for patching, compliance, and configuration.
  Learn more
• Migrate from RHEL, Ubuntu, or Oracle Linux to SLES for reproducible builds, an SLSA Level 3 supply chain, SBOMs, EAL4+ certification, and up to a 16-year support lifecycle.

Many organizations see their ending VMware contracts as more than a renewal; they see it as a chance to modernize their entire workload strategy and take back control of the infrastructure layer.

• Migrate existing VMware or Hyper-V VMs to SUSE Virtualization. VMs operate unchanged on an open source, Kubernetes-native platform.
  Learn more
• Use the migration moment to run legacy VMs and new containerized workloads on a single platform with one API and one management plane for both worlds.

Hyperscalers offer great scale and speed, making them a good fit for many applications. However, for your crown jewels, being tied to one provider's tools becomes a strategic risk.

• Deploy SUSE Rancher Prime as your multi-cluster management layer across on-premises, any cloud, and the edge to gain a single control plane that abstracts away the underlying cloud. 
  Learn more
• Identify your most sensitive workloads and move them from hyperscaler native services to SUSE managed Kubernetes on-premises or in a sovereign cloud for full jurisdictional control.

Developers pull images from public sites but rarely know the details of what they are downloading, such as licenses they cannot use or security holes that put the whole company at risk.

• Switch developer teams to SUSE Application Collection as the approved source for container images, providing over 140 applications each with SBOMs and license clarity.
  Learn more
• Deploy SUSE Private Registry to mirror the Application Collection internally, allowing air-gapped environments to get curated content without touching the internet. 
  Learn more
• Roll out Rancher Desktop and SUSE Application Collection to every developer workstation to close the last mile gap with pre-vetted local Kubernetes environments.

Every executive wants AI for competitive advantage, but no one wants their data leaked to third parties or their AI models residing in another region.

• Set up SUSE AI to run open weight LLMs on your own hardware, ensuring AI processing happens inside your firewall and your intellectual property stays yours. 
  Learn more
• Use SUSE Security and SUSE Observability to detect unauthorized AI API calls leaving your network, gaining visibility into which models employees actually use.

For telcos and utility providers managing critical infrastructure, sovereignty is a physical concept. Remote sites must stay operational even if severed from the internet.

• Deploy SUSE Edge at remote locations so each site runs autonomously and is fully self-sufficient regardless of WAN connectivity.
  Learn more
• Manage thousands of edge locations as a single logical fleet through SUSE Rancher Prime and SUSE Edge to roll out policy and updates as fleet operations.

Even with a transparent open source stack, a hidden risk remains: the support lifeline. If your infrastructure depends on expertise in a different jurisdiction, your resilience is subject to their laws.

Implement SUSE Sovereign Premium Support to ensure your support lifeline is handled exclusively by EU-based engineers operating under EU law.
