Why SUSE Virtualization?
Designed for organizations looking for a flexible and open solution to run cloud-native and virtual machine workloads in the datacenter, public clouds, AI and at the edge.
As open source, SUSE Virtualization is free from the costly license and subscription fees of other solutions. In addition, its foundation is based on existing technology such as SUSE Linux and kernel-based virtual machines.
SUSE Virtualization is a cloud native virtualization platform that unifies VM and container management, streamlining operations and boosting efficiency with a single cohesive platform for hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Become future-proof, as datacenter infrastructure shifts towards containerization because of AI, edge, and hybrid-cloud operations. Seamlessly lift-and-shift, transforming at your pace with trusted KVM technology.
SUSE Virtualization simplifies infrastructure management with an intuitive web dashboard, ensuring seamless visualization and control for all your deployments.
Top Features
Open, Interoperable, Cloud Native Virtualization
Easy to get started
SUSE Virtualization ships as a bootable appliance image, you can install it directly on a bare metal server with the ISO image or automatically install it using iPXE scripts.
Automated VM Migration - No Downtime
SUSE Virtualization ensures automated live VM migration with zero downtime from vSphere and OpenStack, enabling effortless transitions and continuous operations.
NVIDIA vGPU Support to optimize AI
Leverage NVIDIA GPUs for SRIOV-based virtualization, enabling the sharing of GPU resources across multiple VMs. This feature enhances performance for GPU-intensive workloads.
Witness node - Highly Available two node clusters
Ideal for environments with limited resources requiring resilience through frequent interruption and relocation. The witness node helps maintain cluster operations, ensuring uptime and reliability.
Arm support (Tech Preview)
SUSE Virtualization supports installation on ARM-based servers, thanks to recent updates to KubeVirt and RKE2, which both support ARM64 architecture.
Backup, snapshot, and restore VMs
Back up your VMs from NFS, S3 servers, or NAS devices. Use your backup to restore a failed VM or create a new VM on a different cluster.
Optimized for Frequent Device Power (Off/On)
Optimized for frequent power interruptions or relocations. Ensures cluster stability after abrupt shutdowns and restarts, reducing admin burden.
Fleet Management (Technical Preview)
Fleet is enabled by default to enhance scalability and simplify cluster operations managing VM images and node settings as SUSE Virtualization clusters.
