Katonic selected as a strategic partner for MLOps & GenAI Solutions in APAC & ANZ.

We are thrilled to announce that Katonic.ai has been officially named a key strategic partner in SUSE's expanding AI ecosystem.

In a major announcement released on November 12, 2025, titled "SUSE Enhancing Value via AI ISV Partnerships," SUSE unveiled a select group of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) including industry giants like Altair and ClearML chosen to deliver complete, integrated AI solutions.

Katonic is proud to be the partner of choice for MLOps & GenAI Solutions in the APAC and ANZ regions.

Escaping the "Infrastructure Trap"

This partnership comes at a critical moment. As I detailed in my recent guest feature for SUSE, "Escape the Infrastructure Trap," the industry is facing a paradox. While Generative AI promises trillions in economic value, nearly 85% of enterprise AI projects fail to reach production.

Why? Because organizations are forced to choose between Innovation (moving fast with new models) and Control (security, compliance, and sovereignty).

This creates what I call the "Infrastructure Trap" where data scientists spend 80% of their time wrestling with Kubernetes and GPU management instead of solving business problems.

The Solution: A "Joint Stack" for Sovereign AI

Our new strategic partnership with SUSE eliminates this trade-off.

As stated in the official announcement, SUSE is integrating Katonic's Operating System for Sovereign AI with their trusted, open-source stack, including SUSE Rancher Prime.

Why This Matters for Our Customers

By validating Katonic on top of SUSE Rancher Prime and RKE2, we are making the infrastructure "invisible." We provide a unified stack that allows enterprises to:

1. Innovate at Scale
Deploy the latest Large Language Models (LLMs) and GenAI applications using Katonic's no-code/low-code tools without getting bogged down in complexity.

2. Maintain Absolute Control
Run these workloads on SUSE's hardened, secure infrastructure whether on-premise, in the cloud, or in air-gapped environments.

3. Simplify Operations
Leverage the combined power of SUSE's infrastructure management and Katonic's MLOps automation to reduce the complexity of day-2 operations.
‍

"This partnership with SUSE resolves the conflict between innovation and control. By combining our platform with SUSE's trusted stack, we empower organizations to innovate at scale and build their AI future on their own terms."

A Complete Ecosystem

We are honored to stand alongside other innovators in this ecosystem, such as ClearML (Infrastructure), Avesha (GPU Orchestration), Altair (HPC), and AI & Partners (Governance). Together, we are building a future where enterprise AI is open, interoperable, and secure by design.

Ready to Build?

For organizations in the Asia-Pacific and Australia-New Zealand regions, the path to Sovereign AI has never been clearer. You no longer need to piece together disparate tools or risk falling into the infrastructure trap. With Katonic and SUSE, you have a validated, enterprise-grade stack ready to deploy.
