SUSE has introduced a new enterprise AI platform developed with NVIDIA, aimed at helping organisations build and deploy artificial intelligence systems across data centres, cloud environments and edge infrastructure.
AI factory launch
SUSE announced the launch of SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA at SUSECON 2026 in Dubai. The platform is built in collaboration with NVIDIA and combines SUSE AI with NVIDIA AI Enterprise to create a unified system for developing and managing AI applications at scale.
The companies said the platform is designed to bridge the gap between local AI development and enterprise-wide production use, allowing organisations to manage AI workloads consistently across different environments, including data centres, cloud and edge systems.
Enterprise AI focus
SUSE said the platform is built to simplify how AI applications are deployed and operated, with pre-validated blueprints, automated workflows and GitOps-based management tools.
It also includes sandbox environments for testing applications before deployment, alongside a centralised interface based on SUSE Rancher for managing workloads at scale.
Security and governance
The system is designed to support data sovereignty requirements, allowing organisations to keep sensitive data and AI models within their own infrastructure.
SUSE said the platform applies zero-trust security principles and integrates observability and governance tools to help maintain control over AI workloads in regulated environments.
Thomas Di Giacomo, Chief Technology and Product Officer at SUSE, said: “AI developers, users and operations teams are in a catch-22 with AI, they want to innovate quickly but must secure these types of workloads, agents and processes, to ensure full auditability before fully running them in production. SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA gives them a one-stop solution for end-to-end stability, security and sovereignty, while benefitting from today’s and future AI innovation.”
John Fanelli, Vice President, Enterprise Software at NVIDIA, said: “Enterprise adoption of AI is accelerating, creating demand for infrastructure that ensures data control and governance for regulated workloads. Our collaboration with SUSE addresses this requirement by delivering an open, full-stack AI Factory built on a foundation of security and sovereignty.”
Industry adoption
The platform includes pre-built architectural blueprints for common enterprise use cases, which SUSE said can reduce setup time and simplify deployment.
Udo Würtz, Chief Technology Officer at Fsas Technologies Europe, a Fujitsu company, said: “Businesses are ready to use AI, but they need confidence that their data remains under control. As a launch partner, SUSE AI Factory provides a stable, prescriptive foundation to combine NVIDIA’s unmatched computing power and AI platform with SUSE’s secure, open source infrastructure. By easing the integration, the unified solution allows us to focus on applying Fujitsu’s industry-leading expertise in delivering a sovereign, end-to-end solution that meets the strictest data governance standards.”
A preview of SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA was demonstrated at SUSECON 2026, with wider availability expected later this year.
