“Combining the industry’s most widely adopted certified lightweight Kubernetes distro and our industry leading enterprise-ready secure Linux OS built just for the Edge, we’re one of the first to deliver a fully integrated cloud native solution that addresses our customer’s number one challenge – the need to scale. They need the right cloud infrastructure and edge solutions that can scale simply and successfully manage 1000s of clusters across multiple geographical locations,” said Keith Basil, SUSE General Manager of Edge. “The amalgamation of cloud native technologies, increased computing speeds, and artificial intelligence is accelerating edge computing. To meet this demand and continue our innovation we will significantly expand investment in our edge business in 2023.”
The need for edge computing is growing. Gartner predicts that by 2025, more than 50% of enterprise-managed data will be created and processed outside the data center or cloud. Similarly, The Linux Foundation found that Edge Computing will be 4x larger than cloud and will generate 75% of data worldwide by 2025.
To set customers up for success for the next generation of embedded edge devices and allow customers to scale, SUSE Edge 2.0 delivers a full range of cloud native edge management solutions with security seamlessly integrated across the full stack – from applications to Kubernetes to operating systems. With varying edge uses – general edge, telecom and automotive – that require additional capabilities, only SUSE provides a use case-based edge solution to match the exact needs of the customer.
