SUSE CaaS (Container as a Service) Platform Makes Applications Easy to Run, Customers More Agile
BEIJING, June 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- (LinuxCon+ContainerCon+CloudOpen China) – SUSE® today launched SUSE CaaS (Container as a Service) Platform, a development and hosting platform for container-based applications and services. The solution is a valuable new piece of SUSE's growing software-defined infrastructure portfolio, which integrates open source technology to drive next-generation innovations that matter to customers. SUSE CaaS Platform lets IT operations and developers provision, manage and scale container-based applications and services to meet business goals faster. Organizations looking to improve business agility are adopting a software-defined infrastructure approach to support containerization of their applications. Most are either containerizing existing applications directly or using a modern microservices architecture approach. SUSE CaaS Platform supports both tactics, helping customers be more agile and reduce operating costs. "Container innovation is improving how applications are developed and run, but companies don't want to have to set up and maintain a complex and secure container infrastructure by themselves," said Thomas Di Giacomo, SUSE CTO. "They want to focus on creating applications that bring value to their business. So SUSE is providing an easy-to-use container infrastructure solution that helps them deploy next-generation, cloud native container-based applications and progressively migrate traditional and existing apps." SUSE CaaS Platform consists of three key components – orchestration using Kubernetes, a purpose-built operating system (SUSE MicroOS) for microservices and containers, and configuration capabilities – that provide the following benefits to customers and partners:
Partner Statements on SUSE CaaS Platform Will Ochandarena, senior director of Product Management at MapR Technologies, said, "Stateful application containers are a critical component of next-generation intelligent applications. The end-to-end container management provided by the SUSE CaaS Platform nicely complements the persistent data services provided by the MapR-XD Cloud-Scale Data Store to enable applications that operationalize data-driven insights in real-time." Tim McIntire, co-founder of StackIQ, said, "In addition to our support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, we are delighted to partner with SUSE and support their Container as a Service Platform. Our joint customers get the benefit of lightning-speed deployments of container farms on bare metal with Open Source Stacki, and an improvement in performance from running containers directly on bare metal."
