Dear Valued Partner,
Help your customers maintain business agility by ensuring the availability of their cloud infrastructure.
SUSE is pleased to announce that OpenStack services can now be made highly available. SUSE® Cloud 3, based on the Havana release of OpenStack, ensures the continuous operation of Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud deployments and delivers enterprise-grade Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for cloud installations.
Many of your customers are choosing to adopt cloud computing to deliver on-demand access to the IT resources their employees need to rapidly respond to market opportunities. However, optimizing business agility requires delivering a continuously available infrastructure.
To ensure the delivery of enterprise SLAs for cloud installations, SUSE has integrated the proven capabilities of the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension into SUSE Cloud to monitor its control node and, in the event of a failure, to transfer the critical services running on it from one server to another known working system.
For SUSE partners, the expansion of SUSE Cloud to include high availability provides opportunities for you by:
- Increasing the size of your SUSE Cloud deals
- Generating new services revenue for:
- Deploying and integrating a resilient cloud infrastructure solution in data centers and cloud service providers
- Planning and implementing high availability clusters
- Positioning yourself further as an expert in delivering OpenStack cloud solutions
SUSE Cloud is ready for production deployments today. SUSE Cloud provides faster installation and easier administration of an OpenStack cloud while enabling customers to design their cloud based on their own unique IT infrastructure requirements.
As part of SUSE Cloud’s robust installation framework that automates the set-up and ongoing management of the physical cloud infrastructure, it also delivers automated configuration and deployment of the cloud’s control plane cluster.
In addition, SUSE Cloud supports mixed hypervisor cloud environments for customers who want to use any combination of KVM, Xen, Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere as well as popular third-party storage and networking solutions to maximize current investments and expand the capabilities of their cloud.
As a pioneer in open source software, SUSE has a successful track record delivering enterprise solutions and bringing them to market together with our partners. We look forward to working with you to transform your customers’ IT infrastructures using SUSE Cloud while also helping you accelerate the growth of your private cloud business.
Thank you for your continued commitment and support of SUSE.
The SUSE Team
