SUSE, a global leader in enterprise-grade open-source solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with PT Innovation Cloud Services (ICS), a leading provider of cloud, generative AI, and cybersecurity solutions in Indonesia. This collaboration aims to accelerate the SUSE Cloud Elevate Program, supporting Indonesian businesses in adopting cloud-native technologies and modernizing their applications.

Indonesia's digital economy is projected to reach $200 billion by 2030. This rapid growth has driven increasing demand for cloud services. To meet this need, SUSE and ICS are combining SUSE's advanced solutions with ICS's tailored professional services, helping enterprises modernize applications, build hybrid cloud infrastructure, and develop cloud-native apps. The partnership provides a single point of contact for cloud-native solutions, including enterprise container management, edge computing, and AI.

The collaboration focuses on three main goals: accelerating cloud-native adoption by educating Indonesian businesses, delivering tailored solutions with ICS's professional services, and expanding market reach by combining both companies' strengths to support more enterprises across the country.

Budhi Wibawa, Founder and CEO of ICS, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, "This partnership marks a significant milestone in helping Indonesian companies optimize their IT infrastructure management." He explained that SUSE Multi Linux Support and SUSE Manager would simplify managing multiple Linux distributions through a unified platform, reducing operational complexity and offering flexibility for businesses navigating today's fast-paced digital landscape.

SUSE's solutions also support various industries. In finance, SUSE Rancher helps banks and fintech companies securely manage services and scale capacity during high-transaction periods, such as online shopping festivals or holidays. SUSE NeuVector adds a layer of security by protecting customer data and financial transactions while ensuring compliance with regulations set by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia.

Retailers benefit from SUSE Rancher by unifying online and offline sales operations. The platform manages point-of-sale systems, inventory, and customer loyalty programs, while SUSE Manager centrally handles system updates and security, ensuring a consistent and secure shopping experience.

In the telecommunications sector, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server provides a solid foundation for critical services, and SUSE Manager automates system management, helping operators maintain high service availability and reduce operational costs.

To address the challenge of managing diverse Linux systems, SUSE offers SUSE Multi Linux Support and SUSE Manager. SUSE Multi Linux Support enables centralized management of multiple Linux distributions like Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and CentOS, enhancing cost efficiency and IT team productivity. SUSE Manager streamlines IT infrastructure, boosting operational efficiency through automation while strengthening system security. Together, these solutions support business growth by optimizing IT operations and reducing complexity.

ICS plays a key role in ensuring successful solution implementation by providing consulting, design, deployment, and training services. With over 50 certified cloud technology engineers, 300 completed workload migrations, and more than 400 satisfied clients, ICS bridges the gap between enterprise needs and SUSE's cloud solutions. Their local expertise ensures Indonesian businesses receive the support needed to maximize SUSE Multi Linux Support.

Gayathri Peria, General Manager for Southeast Asia at SUSE, highlighted the broader impact: "Digital transformation today is not just about the cloud but also about leveraging GenAI and strengthening cybersecurity." She emphasized that the partnership aims to help Indonesian companies adopt these technologies securely and effectively, building a solid enterprise Linux foundation for future innovation.
