The solutions are available immediately to help speed time to market for device manufacturers

SUSE has made a commitment to help all organisations that are producing medical devices to fight COVID-19. To that end, SUSE is offering free services such as support and maintenance for its operating system and container technologies to be embedded in and run those medical devices. These SUSE solutions are available immediately to help speed time to market for device manufacturers.

“The current global pandemic requires more from us than simply trying to survive as companies and individuals,” said Melissa Di Donato, CEO, SUSE. “We are determined to help others as much as we can, doing what we do best. We have cutting-edge open source technology and know-how that can help others in the fight to save lives, and we will share it immediately and without charge. Our customers, partners and communities know of and share our commitment to making a difference – and that extends to our neighbours and fellow human beings around the world.”

SUSE Linux Enterprise is an operating system that can be built into, and help run, various kinds of devices, hardware and appliances. SUSE Embedded Linux features an optimised system footprint for specific products, including medical devices.
