SUSE Unveils SUSE AI: A Beacon of Hope for Enterprise-Grade AI Solutions

The AI landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and enterprises are struggling to keep up. The need for secure, open, and enterprise-grade generative AI solutions has never been more pressing. This is precisely why SUSE’s recent announcement of SUSE AI is a beacon of hope for the industry.

Secure and private data flow environments

SUSE AI is an initiative that aims to provide a turn-key platform for enterprises to run private generative AI solutions with their preferred large language models (LLMs) either on-premises or in the cloud. This move is a direct response to the challenges customers face when implementing generative AI, including compliance risks, shadow AI, and a lack of control.

“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 AI Early Access Program: Collaborating for a Brighter Future

To collaboratively shape the future of generative AI, SUSE is launching the SUSE AI Early Access Program. This initiative brings together customers and partners with SUSE’s generative AI experts to help inform the future direction of SUSE AI solutions. The program provides early access to the latest builds of SUSE AI solutions and offers consultation and technical support to leverage these solutions effectively.

Shaping the future of generative AI

“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,” remarked Santamaria.

Modular, Secure, and Vendor-Agnostic: The Future of Enterprise AI

The planned SUSE AI solutions, set to launch later in 2024, are designed to be modular, secure, vendor-agnostic, and LLM-agnostic. This platform aims to dissolve silos and reduce the costs traditionally associated with enterprise generative AI implementations. SUSE will employ its open-source, enterprise-grade SUSE Linux, Rancher Prime Kubernetes management, and NeuVector Prime security offerings to enable secure and private data flow environments, reducing regulatory compliance risks and enhancing security.

Flexible and secure AI solutions

“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,” stated Frank Feldmann, Chief Strategy Officer at 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.”

In conclusion, SUSE AI is a beacon of hope for enterprises struggling to implement secure and open generative AI solutions. With its modular, secure, and vendor-agnostic approach, SUSE AI is poised to revolutionize the industry and empower enterprises to unlock the full potential of AI.
