Announcing Our New Strategic Partnership for Ceph Users: SUSE & Clyso

At SUSE, we have always believed in the transformative power of open-source technology and its potential to redefine the world of enterprise software. As part of this journey, we have had the privilege of contributing significantly to the Ceph project, while also offering an enterprise storage solution based on it. However, in the pursuit of strategic focus and growth, we discontinued new sales of our enterprise storage product – SUSE Enterprise Storage (SES) – in 2020.

Understanding the challenges and uncertainties this decision may have caused, we’ve been dedicated to identifying a reliable and future-proof alternative for our valued customers who wish to continue using Ceph.

Today, we’re pleased to announce a partnership with Clyso, a German-based leader in cloud system solutions.

This collaboration aligns with our strategic vision of providing enterprise-ready solutions and upholds our promise of seamless transitions and maintained service continuity.

In this new partnership, Clyso offers two unique pathways for our customers:

1. Clyso’s expert consultation and services will assist in evaluating whether transitioning to a modernized Ceph deployment in your environment is the right solution for your business.
2. If you opt to remain with the latest upstream versions of the Ceph product, Clyso will help facilitate this process while you continue to enjoy the robust capabilities of our paid Linux distribution.

Our teams at SUSE and Clyso are fully prepared to guide you through this transition and ensure minimal disruption to your operations. We remain deeply committed to fulfilling your needs and enabling your business’s success.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your sales or account representative at SUSE or Clyso directly for more information.

Thank you for your unwavering trust and patience throughout this process. We look forward to nurturing our partnership with Clyso and continuing to empower your business with industry-leading solutions.
