Vultr, the privately held cloud infrastructure provider, and SUSE on Tuesday announced the availability of SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA on Vultrโ€™s global infrastructure, a pre-validated full-stack platform designed to help enterprises move AI workloads from experimentation to production.

The announcement was made at the RAISE Summit in Paris. The offering integrates SUSEโ€™s AI software stack, which embeds NVIDIA AI Enterprise components, with Vultrโ€™s cloud GPUs, bare metal, compute, Kubernetes, networking, and storage capabilities.

Enterprises have faced challenges integrating disparate AI software, hardware acceleration, and infrastructure for production use. The joint solution aims to provide a standardized, Kubernetes-based environment that supports deployment across cloud, on-premises, edge, and sovereign settings, reducing custom integration work.

The platform includes pre-validated blueprints, such as for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), GPU orchestration, zero-trust security features, and tools like NVIDIA NIM, NeMo, and Run:ai. Vultr supplies the underlying global infrastructure.

โ€œEnterprises are done experimenting. The real work now is getting AI into production fast, without spending 18 months integrating software, GPUs and infrastructure before a single workload goes live,โ€ said Kevin Cochrane, chief marketing officer at Vultr. โ€œSUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA on Vultr infrastructure changes that equation entirely.โ€

Rhys Oxenham, VP and general manager of AI at SUSE, noted that the partnership with Vultr provides a turnkey, validated infrastructure stack for the software framework first introduced earlier in 2026.

โ€œProduction AI requires more than accelerated compute. It requires enterprise AI software and global infrastructure working together,โ€ said Dion Harris, senior director of HPC and AI infrastructure solutions go-to-market at NVIDIA.

The collaboration builds on prior work between Vultr and SUSE, including integrations for Kubernetes and AI workloads, as well as Vultrโ€™s broader efforts with NVIDIA for GPU infrastructure.

Existing SUSE customers can engage their account teams for evaluations, with joint proof-of-concept projects available. A self-service option through the Vultr Marketplace is planned.

Vultr operates a global network of cloud regions and positions itself as a provider of accessible high-performance infrastructure for AI and other workloads. SUSE specializes in enterprise open-source solutions, including Linux and Kubernetes platforms. NVIDIA supplies the accelerated computing components.

No specific pricing or broad availability dates beyond the current launch were detailed in the announcement.
