Overview
A strategic conversation on building enterprise infrastructure that avoids lock-in, strengthens resilience and keeps customers in control across hybrid environments.
Enterprise IT is at an inflection point. Leadership must adopt AI and cloud-native scaling, but rigid, expensive legacy infrastructure is stalling progress. This friction creates a strategic bottleneck for innovation.
Rising virtualization costs and fragmented silos are straining budgets and diverting talent. Meanwhile, executive accountability for security and compliance is increasing. IT leaders now face a “perfect storm” balancing modernization with escalating operational complexity.
To explore how leaders are navigating this moment, SUSE and The Mainstream invite you to an exclusive, closed-door CXO roundtable that brings together today’s most pressing infrastructure challenges and examines how open infrastructure helps enterprises regain control across 3 critical dimensions:
- Cost Control: Reducing operational overhead by managing virtual machines and containers together, without disruptive rip-and-replace
- Innovation Velocity: Breaking operational silos across Linux distributions and Kubernetes clusters
- Executive Risk & Trust: Ensuring digital sovereignty by avoiding vendor lock-in while retaining full control over data and infrastructure strategy
Why attend?
Because the objective is no longer just to keep systems running. It is to build an infrastructure foundation that adapts to the business, securely, cost-effectively and on your terms.
