Operating System
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
SUSE has been successful in delivering an enterprise grade Linux operating system for nearly 25 years. Looking back, Linux is a set of APIs and services that abstract away the details of the underlying hardware infrastructure to make it possible to write applications. Along with that we have provided tools such as SUSE Manager to simplify installation, operation and maintenance of the environment. About 10 years ago, we started to see the emergence of the software defined infrastructure and a bit more recently the emergence of cloud-native applications. These new approaches require new tools and extend the role of the operating system.
Specifically around software defined infrastructure, there is also a need for APIs to provide control on resources. This is addressed by SUSE OpenStack Cloud making it easy to deploy and manage a wide range of software defined solutions such as compute, storage and networking.
More recently we have seen a move toward cloud native application development, and SUSE is offering two closely related products: SUSE CaaS Platform combining a container optimized version of SUSE Linux with Kubernetes to enable the deployment and management of applications. And second, the most recent addition to the SUSE portfolio is SUSE Cloud Application Platform adding a Cloud Foundry certified PaaS that combines a variety of runtimes and pre-defined services to enable developers to quickly create and deploy new business services. Uniquely, SUSE recognizes that the right approach may be to use both CaaS and PaaS in a single environment so that both plain containers and Cloud Foundry apps can coexist in the same environment.
From the beginning SUSE has provided tools to simplify deploying and operating complex systems with SUSE Manager. As SUSE provides new solutions such as cloud and software defined storage we are also adding tools such as Cloud Monitoring, openATTIC storage management, along with deployment and maintenance tools to automate and simplify rolling out new capabilities.
We also fully recognize that public cloud is an important part of today’s IT. To help with that, SUSE created a Cloud Provider Program. Initially designed to enable on-demand consumption of SUSE Linux in offerings such as Amazon Web Services/Microsoft Azure/Google Cloud Platform/IBM Cloud and other cloud providers, this has expanded to cover our other products like SUSE Manager and SLES for SAP Applications. And more to come, as we will continue with public clouds as a priority for SUSE solutions. This enables you to use public cloud in different layers of the stack depending on the specific workload and data demand, as well as bridge that with onprem via hybrid cloud management solutions.
Finally, we do not intend such a stack to be all or nothing. The SUSE commitment to openness means that we will continue to work with partners to provide customers with options at all layers in the stack.
