At a time when enterprises are racing to operationalise artificial intelligence at scale, SUSE has announced a new “AI factory” in partnership with Nvidia, aimed at streamlining how organisations build and deploy secure, scalable AI systems.
The open-source software company unveiled the initiative at SUSECON 2026, describing it as a pre-validated, turnkey platform designed for both enterprises and government users. The system is intended to help organisations adopt Nvidia’s latest AI technologies while keeping sensitive data and proprietary workloads within private infrastructure.
Speaking at the event, Thomas Di Giacomo, Chief Technology and Product Officer at SUSE, said: “AI developers, users and operations teams are in a catch-22 with AI, as they want to innovate quickly but must ensure full auditability before fully running the relevant types of workloads, agents and processes in production. The 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.”
SUSE said the platform functions as a “digital production line” for AI, enabling organisations to assemble, manage and scale workloads while meeting strict digital sovereignty requirements. It is designed to operate across environments, including edge systems, data centres and public cloud infrastructure.
Nvidia also highlighted the strategic importance of the collaboration. “Our collaboration with SUSE will deliver an open, full-stack AI Factory built on a foundation of security and sovereignty,” said John Fanelli, Vice President, Enterprise Software at Nvidia. He added that rising enterprise AI adoption is increasing demand for infrastructure that ensures governance and data control for regulated workloads.
The AI stack integrates multiple Nvidia technologies, including NIM microservices, Nemotron models, NeMo for agent development, Run:ai for GPU orchestration, Kubernetes operators, and OpenShell secure runtime. It also includes NemoClaw, which leverages SUSE’s K3s technology to support secure autonomous AI agent deployment.
According to SUSE, the AI factory standardises deployment processes for AI applications, reducing setup time, lowering operational complexity, and enabling faster transition from development to production by consolidating tools into a unified system.
