ALESTA LLC has achieved SELL EMERALD status in the SUSE One partner programme and has joined an exclusive group of just four companies in Ukraine to hold this level.

SUSE is a global provider of open enterprise solutions, renowned for SUSE Linux Enterprise (an enterprise Linux OS), the SUSE Rancher Kubernetes management platform, and solutions for container security and edge infrastructure. These technologies help companies build reliable, scalable infrastructure — from data centres to the cloud and the edge.

Achieving SELL EMERALD status in the SUSE One Partner Program confirms ALESTA’s expertise in promoting and implementing SUSE solutions and opens up expanded opportunities for joint development with the vendor: improved partnership terms, marketing and technical support, access to training and certification programmes, as well as additional incentives and benefits within specialisations.

Which areas does this strengthen for ALESTA?

For ALESTA, this status primarily strengthens the following areas:

• Linux-based infrastructure solutions (servers, virtualisation, mission-critical systems) using SUSE Linux Enterprise.
• Containerisation and Kubernetes — building and managing clusters using SUSE Rancher and related solutions for cloud and edge environments.
• Security for cloud and container environments through integration with SUSE solutions for securing containers and edge infrastructure.

This enables ALESTA to comprehensively design, implement and support modern application platforms operating in hybrid, multi-cloud and distributed environments.

For ALESTA’s customers, this new status offers practical benefits:

• Access to mature open-source technologies: enterprise Linux, Kubernetes and edge solutions used by leading global companies to modernise their infrastructure from core to cloud and edge.
• Projects with direct vendor support: SUSE participation in architecture sessions, access to recommendations and best practices, and faster incident resolution through extended partner support.
• Better cost-risk ratio: optimised licensing and service models, the ability to migrate from legacy systems to modern platforms in stages.
• Preparation for future workloads and scaling: infrastructure capable of supporting hundreds and thousands of nodes, Kubernetes clusters, and distributed edge locations.

“For our clients, this means, first and foremost, the confidence that SUSE-based infrastructure and container projects are delivered by a team with proven expertise and direct vendor support. We help not only to implement platforms, but also to make them manageable, secure and ready for growth,” note representatives of ALESTA LLC.

ALESTA will continue to develop its partnership with SUSE, combining open source, modern Kubernetes and edge platforms, and its own integration expertise to help Ukrainian organisations build a reliable, flexible and secure IT infrastructure.
