SUSE, a global company of innovative, reliable, and secure open-source enterprise solutions, analyzed industry trends and identified three developments that are expected to transform the technology market in 2025. Focusing on innovation through open-source solutions, digital resilience, and sustainability, these forecasts reflect the growing needs of organizations in a rapidly accelerating digital transformation landscape with high operational demands.
OpenTelemetry will gain more space
OpenTelemetry will establish itself as the standard for telemetry data collection, being adopted not only by open-source project contributors but also by major commercial players. "Open source provides a unified and standardized approach to collecting and exporting telemetry data, eliminating dependence on proprietary tools," explains Marcos Lacerda, Latin America General Manager of SUSE.
OpenTelemetry is one of the most active projects of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), the same organization responsible for Kubernetes (container technology that optimizes data space management) and Prometheus (free software application used for event monitoring and sending alerts).
Strengthening Digital Resilience
In 2024, we witnessed major technological disruptions worldwide, such as the global service outage in July caused by a security company. This pattern of interruptions must continue, leading companies to implement IT strategies to resist, adapt, and recover from such events. "Events like the major disruptions we saw in 2024 highlight the importance of robust IT strategies. Companies need to invest in digital resilience to ensure business continuity, even in the face of unexpected incidents. Reducing dependence on a single solution, implementing alternative stacks, adopting monitoring practices, and using a multi-vendor approach to provide options in critical software such as operating systems and Kubernetes are essential steps to minimize risks and protect critical operations," emphasizes Lacerda.
Operating environment for Artificial Intelligence
Today, there are several options to run GenAI and other types of AI workloads. Over time, it is expected that most companies will adopt a standard operational environment for AI use cases. This environment will include a common, highly scalable AI platform that provides the necessary modules and services.
A standard operational environment ensures consistent governance, streamlined workflows, and optimized resource use, also contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. He also helps address challenges such as the lack of uniform infrastructure among countries, creating conditions for consistent and scalable AI implementation across the Latin America region. This approach not only accelerates the development of local solutions but also strengthens the global competitiveness of local companies, concludes Lacerda.
