The Path to a Sovereign Autonomous Enterprise: Why Open Source Is Your Clean Core Advantage
SUSE, Friday, September 25th, 2026
SUSE outlines three open-source pillars for running AI-driven SAP environments without sacrificing data sovereignty.
Ahead of SAP TechEd Berlin, SUSE argues that autonomous SAP environments need an open-source foundation to avoid vendor lock-in while meeting AI innovation and data sovereignty demands.
It proposes pairing SAP's Clean Core philosophy with three pillars: hybrid integration for side-by-side innovation, sovereign private AI deployed directly to private data via SUSE AI, and cost-controlled virtualization using SUSE KVM and SUSE Virtualization in place of restrictive hypervisors
SUSE positions open-source standards as delivering true technological sovereignty and freedom from rising hypervisor costs. The company is presenting a related session with FIS-ASP at the conference.
