In this episode of The Future is Open, host Cameron Seader sits down with Margaret Dawson, Chief Marketing Officer & Open Source Advocate at SUSE, and Peter Smails, General Manager of Cloud Native at SUSE, to discuss the transformation of modern enterprise infrastructure.
Throughout the conversation, Margaret and Peter reflect on SUSE's recognition across four distinct 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ reports. At SUSE, we believe being named a Leader in Container Management (specifically featuring SUSE Rancher Prime), a Visionary in Server Virtualization Platforms, a Visionary in Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure, and a Niche Player in Global Industrial IoT Platforms highlights a unified architectural strategy.
Review the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™reports:
Magic Quadrant for Container Management
Magic Quadrant for Server Virtualization Platforms
Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure
