SUSE and Fujitsu’s FSAS Technologies announced a partnership on October 21 to deliver a hybrid quantum and AI platform that runs on infrastructure customers own. The stack combines SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA, NVIDIA AI Enterprise and the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform on Fujitsu servers.
What’s in the stack
- Lifecycle management: SUSE AI Factory with NVIDIA packages, deploys and updates CUDA-Q, so teams don’t have to patch it and match versions by hand.
- Open Sovereign AI (OSAI) building-block kit: a modular layer covering retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic coding and LLM serving, standardized across Fujitsu and Supermicro hardware.
- Hybrid quantum runtime: CUDA-Q is built into the compute broker, which submits and runs quantum circuits automatically.
Who it’s for
The companies say quantum circuits are treated as extensions of ordinary AI Factory workloads. That means system administrators, cloud architects and platform engineers can deploy and orchestrate them with the enterprise tools, GitOps workflows and security policies they already use, without specialist quantum physics knowledge. Algorithms and datasets stay on-premises or in private infrastructure. Pre-validated reference architectures and a single support contract cover the whole hardware and software stack.
“As quantum computing shifts from theoretical physics into practical business assets, AI-driven orchestration is essential,” said SUSE CTO and chief product officer Thomas Di Giacomo. Udo Wuertz, CTO of Fsas Technologies EMEA, said running the stack on Fujitsu servers lets customers connect quantum simulation directly to production applications.
Availability: the companies say the joint solution will be available in late 2026. It was announced alongside SUSE’s SLES for NVIDIA and OpenShell news at NVIDIA GTC Berlin.
