"With our uniquely open and ecosystem-first approach, SUSE is maintaining our long-held commitment to offering customers the flexibility they need with their data center infrastructure to drive results for their businesses."

Business Critical Linux

Enterprise-grade Linux is at the core of running business critical, enterprise workloads. SUSE Linux Enterprise has always been the preference for organizations seeking agility, reliability, and choice in their core IT infrastructure. SUSE continues to empower business innovations and efficiencies through its business critical Linux portfolio.

Designed to simplify IT operations across the data center, cloud and Edge, SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 6 (SP6) lowers the risk and cost of adopting new technologies and ensures business continuity by minimizing planned and unplanned service outages. It includes an updated 6.4 kernel version and new libraries, including OpenSSL 3.1. Built on a certified secure software supply chain and adhering to the highest standards, SUSE Linux Enterprise enables security in compliance with the strictest regulations.
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP6: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP6 provides SAP customers and partners with the most popular secure and reliable Linux platform for running their mission critical SAP workloads, from the data center to the cloud.

This release also introduces a new compliance reporting framework, expediting the availability of new/updated compliance reports (e.g., DISA-STIG). Additionally, NeuVector Prime 5.4 introduces distributed denial-of-service network attack protections, triggering alerts and blocking when thresholds for maximum connection rates or bandwidth usage are exceeded.
  • Harvester 1.3.1: The latest release of SUSE's cloud native virtualization platform offers customers a path to modernization, providing customers a transition from legacy VMware-based and other virtual machine workloads in favor of modern cloud native solutions. Designed to significantly improve AI and other workload performance and extend Harvester's capabilities to a wider range of hardware platforms, this release ensures seamless integration and optimized resource utilization in diverse computing environments. This release introduces critical advancements in AI and hardware compatibility, including increased support for cutting-edge vGPU and Arm architectures.

Edge

As the importance of immediate access to data, network, and communications services grows, it is a top priority for communication service providers (CSP) and enterprises to rapidly collect and process data from intelligent devices, sensors and controllers. This empowers these organizations with business process insights and gives them tools to deliver new and innovative services to end-users.  SUSE Edge enables cloud native transformation by providing a specialized computing platform to manage the full lifecycle of edge devices at scale. Additionally, SUSE Adaptive Telco Infrastructure Platform (ATIP) builds on SUSE Edge to deliver a telco-optimized edge computing platform for CSPs to accelerate deployments of containerized network functions (CNFs) into telco network environments. SUSE today announced the continuing enhancements delivered in the SUSE Edge and SUSE ATIP offerings:

  • SUSE Edge 3.0: SUSE Edge 3.0 is optimized to run in resource-constrained, remote locations with intermittent internet connectivity, making it ideal for embedded devices.

HarperCollins Publishers to publish Dr Sylvia Karpagam's new book about the politics of food

The Meat of the Matter by Dr Sylvia Karpagam NEW DELHI , Aug. 7, 2026 -- HarperCollins India is delighted to be publish Dr Sylvia Karpagam s well-researched and path-breaking book which dives deep into the discourse around our food choices and the politics of nutrition which affects our well-being as a community. Available now to preorder, the book will release on 18 th August 2026. Talking about the book, Dr Sylvia Karpagam says, This book offers the basics of nutrition to help plan a meal in a scientific way without all the confusing jargon. It also explains the politics, economics, caste and communalism behind current nutrition policies, programs and interventions which are adversely affecting the nutritional and health indicators of the country, particularly for the marginalised and vulnerable who face barriers to accessing their own traditional foods. This is evident in the poor quality of the mid-day meal scheme in government schools and pre-schools (anganwadis) as also the Public Distribution System [PDS]. The global push for plant based /vegan foods by multi-nationals is creating a caste and corporate nexus that we need to challenge. This book offers a means to do that.
