SUSE Demopalooza: Enterprise Ready Fast-Track Experience
Thursday, February 19th | 5:00-10:00 PM CT
Join us for this special SUSE Demopalooza session, followed by the Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors game in a private suite!
First, we'll cut through the noise to focus on the business impact of modern IT. This briefing is designed for leaders and technical decision-makers who need immediate clarity on strategic direction and a direct view of the solutions that matter most. We will showcase live, problem-solving demonstrations across the four critical pillars of modern enterprise IT.
Overview: Your 45-Minute Strategic Demopalooza
This session is structured to deliver maximum strategic context in a focused format. We will quickly move through four critical focus areas:
| Your Situation (The Problem) | Solution Solve (The Outcome/Benefit) | The SUSE Demo You’ll See |
Modernize Workloads Across Hybrid Cloud (Focus: Cloud-Native Transformation) | Deliver Consistency & Eliminate Vendor Lock-in: Gain portability, accelerate app delivery, and eliminate vendor lock-in. | Demo: Deploy, secure, and manage Kubernetes consistently with Rancher Prime. |
Optimize Operational Efficiency & Cost (Focus: Transition from Legacy Virtualization) | Escape Legacy Constraints & Lower TCO: Modernize your environment while lowering total cost of ownership. | Demo: Simplify virtualization and container management using Harvester and K3s/K3K. |
Manage & Secure Complex Environments (Focus: Observability, Compliance & Security) | Reduce Incident Time & Enforce Zero-Trust: Improve compliance and reduce incident resolution time via unified observability and automated zero-trust security. | Demo: Use SUSE Observability to pinpoint root causes, paired with a zero-trust policy enforcement demo. |
Innovate with Next-Gen Technologies (Focus: AI Platform, Data Protection & Agentic AI) | Unlock Secure, Private Agentic AI: Securely enable private, agentic AI capabilities in-house, keeping data protected and compliant. | Demo: Experience secure, in-house AI innovation with SUSE AI and a Secure MCP Gateway. |
Then cap off the day in style: enjoy the Bulls vs. Raptors game from a private suite, connecting with fellow industry professionals over drinks, stadium bites, and unbeatable views of the action. With limited tickets to offer, we advise early registration.
