Modern apps thrive on containers and microservices, but legacy systems often choke on them. You’ve probably faced this: juggling complex Kubernetes clusters, patchwork hardware, and skyrocketing costs. It’s like planning a grand meal using mismatched ingredients—you can make it work, but it’s frustrating and expensive.
But what if launching production-ready microservices was as easy as ordering coffee?
Imagine your team spinning up resilient, scalable apps without spending months wrestling with infrastructure. That ideal is now within reach—and it starts with the SUPERMICRO‑SUSE Kubernetes Solution.
About the SUPERMICRO‑SUSE Partnership
Founded in 1993, Supermicro is a global leader in high-performance servers, storage, and advanced networking solutions. Known for its focus on energy-efficient, scalable systems, Supermicro has seen explosive growth in recent years—reporting approximately $14.94 billion in revenue for FY2024, and reaching $21.57 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue, with an impressive 82% year-over-year increase (StockAnalysis).
Meanwhile, SUSE has been a pioneer in the enterprise Linux space for decades, expanding boldly into Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies. SUSE has since experienced double-digit growth, driven by surging demand for containers, hybrid cloud adoption, and edge computing in enterprise environments.
Recognizing the growing need for a production-ready container infrastructure, Supermicro and SUSE teamed up to create something powerful: a validated Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform that brings together Supermicro’s robust, energy-efficient hardware and SUSE’s enterprise-class Kubernetes capabilities.
The result? A full-stack, scalable solution built specifically to simplify modern app delivery—one that reduces deployment complexity, boosts performance, and lets enterprises innovate with confidence.
