“SUSE AI is a complete, CNCF-supported solution that works from the get go-whether on an enterprise-grade infrastructure or on an ARM device at the edge."
FAQ SUSE AI Factory
Why shouldn't we just use public cloud AI services like AWS, Azure, or GCP?
With hyperscalers you are renting your intelligence and falling into the "egress trap" (where data transfer fees can consume 30-50% of the bill). SUSE AI Factory lets you run AI anywhere, maintain absolute jurisdictional control over your proprietary data, and eliminates the unpredictable "pay-per-token" public cloud tax.
We have smart engineers and prefer open source; why not build this ourselves?
Building AI infrastructure often requires stitching together 15-20 different open-source tools, meaning highly paid engineers spend 60%+ of their time on maintenance and integration instead of driving business value. SUSE AI Factory provides a fully integrated, supported, and secure digital assembly line that gives them all the open-source flexibility without the operational nightmare.
Is this going to be a nightmare for our IT team to implement and manage?
SUSE AI Factory provides pre-validated blueprints and GitOps automation. By providing opinionated validated blueprints, SUSE has encoded that expertise directly into the platform.
How do we justify the enterprise AI price tag to the CFO?
SUSE AI Factory controls runaway artificial intelligence costs by shifting organizations from volatile public cloud "pay-per-token" OpEx models to a highly utilized, predictable CapEx infrastructure model.To reduce compute waste, it utilizes AI-aware observability and hardware slicing (such as NVIDIA MIG) to ensure expensive accelerators operate at maximum capacity. By removing vendor lock-in and maximizing hardware efficiency, organizations can achieve a 40–60% reduction in total AI infrastructure costs.
How does this platform guarantee our IP is secure and compliant?
SUSE AI Factory as the ultimate digital safe harbor. It is built for strict compliance mandates like the EU AI Act, featuring zero-trust security, air-gapped deployment capabilities, and native Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) to provide a 100% auditable AI supply chai
