Aixia Group AB (publ) selected to modernize the virtualization platform of a Swedish AI company operating within the automotive industry. The customer will replace its existing VMware-based environment with SUSE Virtualization. The deal has an initial order value of approximately SEK 4.4 million, with delivery scheduled for Third Quarter 2026.
The deal is strategically important for Aixia and strengthens the company’s position within modern data center infrastructure, virtualization and open source-based platforms. The customer develops advanced AI solutions for the automotive industry and has demanding requirements for performance, availability, scalability and infrastructure control. SUSE Virtualization is a Kubernetes-based enterprise platform that brings traditional virtual machines and container-based applications together within a common environment. The solution provides the customer with a more open and flexible platform while reducing dependency on individual proprietary vendors.
SUSE has its roots and headquarters in Germany and also has a clear Swedish connection through EQT. For Aixia, this is relevant to the company’s focus on digital and technological sovereignty, with the objective of giving European customers greater choice and control over their technology platforms. The deal further strengthens Aixia’s virtualization offering and complements the company’s existing expertise within data centers, Kubernetes, AI infrastructure, networking, storage and operations.
