SUSE Renames Several Products for Better Name Recognition
SUSE has been a very powerful player in the European market, but it knows it must branch out to gain serious traction. Will a name change do the trick?
SUSE has been around for a long time and offers several outstanding products, one of which has gone by the moniker SUSE Linux Enterprise. Another product SUSE has offered for a while now has lived under the name Liberty Linux, which provides customers with a unified support experience for managing heterogeneous environments.
Well, Liberty Linux is now SUSE Multi Linux Support, a product that offers support not only for SUSE users but also stands as an alternative to Red Hat's support.
Liberty Linux isn't the only product that has seen a name change. There's also Rancher (SUSE's Kubernetes), which is now SUSE Rancher; Harvester is now SUSE Virtualization; Longhorn is now SUSE Storage; and New Vector is now SUSE Security.
The goal is to make it clear these products are under the SUSE brand but also to make it more clear what services these products cover.
Along with the change in names is SUSE Observability, which is a full-stack observability solution that is offered as a Software-as-a-Service and serves as the company's first foray into the SaaS market. SUSE Observability seamlessly integrates with SUSE Rancher Prime and SUSE Security.
