Help your customers improve business agility by implementing an enterprise-ready OpenStack private cloud infrastructure.

SUSE, the first to release an enterprise-grade OpenStack distribution, is pleased to announce the availability of SUSE Cloud 2.0.

SUSE Cloud 2.0 builds on the open source development and broad ecosystem of the OpenStack Project to expand the cloud platform’s enterprise capabilities, while enabling customers to configure private clouds based on their unique IT infrastructure requirements. Based on the latest OpenStack Grizzly release, SUSE Cloud 2.0 supports mixed hypervisor cloud environments for customers that want to use KVM, Xen and Microsoft Hyper-V.

SUSE Cloud 2.0 also includes a technical preview of VMware ESXi integration and offers a broad ecosystem of partner solutions. Backed by the excellence of the SUSE engineering and support organizations, SUSE Cloud provides an automated cloud computing platform that allows enterprises to speed the delivery of IT services while improving resource utilization.

For SUSE partners, this solution creates significant opportunity to grow both your resell and services business by:

• Increasing your deal size
• Generating new services opportunities
• Deployment and integration of SUSE Cloud within existing data center infrastructure and processes
• Integration of SUSE Cloud based private clouds with public cloud vendors
• Encouraging server upgrades to take advantage of new virtualization capabilities
• Positioning yourself early as a strategic adviser in the rapidly growing private cloud market

SUSE Cloud is ready for production deployments today, and its advanced cloud technology and broad solution choice helps ensure a smooth deployment into enterprise data centers. Its robust installation framework automates the deployment and ongoing management of the physical cloud infrastructure making it faster to install and easier to administer.

Additionally, the SUSE Cloud open APIs deliver extra value to partners by helping you enhance your customers’ cloud deployments with your own solutions or those of a third-party provider.

As a pioneer in open source software, we have a successful track record of commercializing community projects 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.
