Digital sovereignty is no longer just a policy discussion. At SUSECON, it came through as a real infrastructure, AI and enterprise control strategy.
In this episode of Techstrong Gang, recorded live from Prague, Alan Shimel and Mike Vizard break down the biggest Day 2 themes from SUSECON, including the rise of digital sovereignty, hybrid cloud expansion, AI factory strategy and the growing demand for alternatives to VMware-era lock-in.
The conversation explores how SUSE is positioning itself around five strategic priorities, including digital sovereignty, hybrid cloud, converged application workloads, AI workloads and edge computing. Alan and Mike also dig into SUSE’s Nvidia AI Factory alignment, its Oracle marketplace expansion and why those moves matter in the bigger race for enterprise relevance.
But the deeper story is about control. Across Europe, enterprises and public sector buyers are signaling that they want more freedom of choice, less dependence on outside providers and more say over the platforms running their infrastructure and AI.
From open source heritage and virtualization strategy to the pressure Broadcom has created in the market, this episode looks at why sovereignty is becoming one of the defining forces in enterprise tech.
