SUSE’s Innovation Engine Roars: SUSE Rancher Now on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE

On this episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast – Interview Series, Ron Westfall and Steven Dickens are joined by distinguished guests Andy Hartland, Senior Consultant at Mainline Information Systems and Andrew Gracey, Product Manager for Developer Experience as SUSE. Our discussion focused on the major trends and drivers as well as the main challenges in optimizing container management capabilities across swiftly evolving developer and IT Operations environments. Aligned with our discussion, we drilled down in our latest white paper, SUSE’s Innovation Engine Roars: SUSE Rancher Now on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE — done in partnership with SUSE — to explore why many organizations such as Mainline Information Systems rely on IBM’s zSystems and LinuxONE infrastructure to fulfill their container and Kubernetes requirements. How open-source adoption and IT operations that rely on technologies like Kubernetes running on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE based platforms can use SUSE Rancher to drive transformation without sacrificing the power of rapidly emerging new operational cloud-native paradigms. Our conversation with Andy and Andrew highlighted the following top considerations: What were Mainline’s main objectives for adopting SUSE Rancher Why customers want SUSE Rancher on their mainframes Mainline’s experience in adopting SUSE Rancher How customers are gaining value from SUSE Rancher implementations Why organizations should consider adopting SUSE Rancher over do-it-yourself Kubernetes implementations It was a great and stimulating conversation and one you don’t want to miss.
