Novell Open Workgroup Suite, Linux, 1-User, 1-Year Subscription Priority Maintenance

Thu, 22 May 2008 10:54:16 -0500

Product Description:

The Novell Open Workgroup Suite provides organizations of all sizes with a secure, flexible and cost-effective IT infrastructure and a proven set of workgroup services. Unlike a proprietary, Windows-centric solution, the Novell Open Workgroup Suite is made up of open, standards-based software. This suite offers a low-cost, open alternative to Microsoft and includes a complete infrastructure and productivity solution from the desktop to the server and includes the following components:

Novell Open Enterprise Server—industry-leading enterprise networking services
Novell GroupWise®—secure and reliable collaboration solution
Novell ZENworks® Suite—cross-platform systems-management tool
SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop—open source desktop
OpenOffice.org for Linux and Windows—open source productivity suite

With Novell Open Workgroup Suite, you have the tools to make your IT department more efficient and cost effective. In fact, the suite costs as little as one-third the price of an equivalent Microsoft product stack—and that's just on the licensing front. The long-term savings are even more compelling. Microsoft Vista, for example, will require you to upgrade most of your hardware. Novell Open Workgroup Suite is Linux-based and runs on the lower-cost commodity hardware you likely use today. It is also compatible with hundreds of low- or no-cost applications from the open source community. As a result, you can still get the functionality you need, but at a fraction of the price.

When it comes to streamlining management costs, Novell Open Workgroup Suite is unmatched. Most organizations run a mix of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, NetWare® or UNIX. The consolidated foundation of Novell Open Workgroup Suite simplifies administration across these platforms, and the suite's Novell ZENworks component automates most resource management tasks. Whatever your infrastructure, Novell Open Workgroup Suite helps you keep operational costs to a minimum.

What's New in Novell Open Enterprise Server 2

Full 64-bit support - Take full advantage of the extra processing power, added memory capabilities, and improved heat and energy savings offered by x86-64 architecture dual-core and multi-core processors from Intel and AMD.
Virtualization - Run multiple self-contained virtual machines on a single physical server using Xen-based virtualization. Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 offers the ability to run NetWare 6.5 SP7, or a Linux-based Open Enterprise Server, as a para-virtualized guest operating system on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. As para-virtualized guest operating systems, NetWare and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server have been enhanced to recognize when they are running as virtual machines and can optimize their performance to leverage the latest hardware.

Dynamic Storage Technology - New from Novell, Dynamic Storage Technology significantly reduces storage management costs, assists with regulatory compliance and improves backup and recovery of critical data. Dynamic Storage Technology automatically recognizes data status as active or stale, based on your policies, and shifts data to appropriate high-performing or lower-cost storage devices. By focusing active data on primary storage devices, you can spend less time and money when you backup mission-critical data. End users see no change in the way they access their information, which means that administrative costs are reduced and users remain productive.

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:55:43 -0500

Today's processors allow operating systems to run faster than ever before, but speed alone cannot guarantee that time-critical applications will consistently meet deadlines. In many situations, tiny delays and inconsistencies are tolerable, but when they are not, Novell has your back with its first-to-market real-time processing solution for the enterprise.

Why Real-time Computing?

Many of today's largest high-profile organizations—including financial institutions, manufacturers, government agencies and others—rely on time-dependent applications and processes, which must execute accurately and predictably all the time, every time. This is why organizations are turning to SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time. It is a real-time operating system that has been specifically engineered to reduce the latency, increase the reliability and predictability, and reduce the cost of operating time-sensitive, mission-critical applications. It inherits the best features of the award-winning SUSE Linux Enterprise kernel, so no special features are required to run it on commodity hardware or to access world-class support. When your business requires real-time computing and sub-second responses, SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time is the best solution.

Key Features

Delivering predictable, top-level performance, SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time includes the following features:

Kernel preemption. Preemptible operating system processes to ensure no unwanted interrupts
CPU shielding and assignment. Dedicated resources for high priority processes to minimize resource contention
Priority inheritance. To solve priority inversion problems for mission critical processes
High-resolution timers. Two microsecond resolution (vs. 40 milliseconds) to improve process accounting precision and accuracy
OFED 1.2.5. Support for the latest OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution, enabling high-speed commodity interconnects (InfiniBand)
Instrumentation for NightStar. To enable unobtrusive analysis of real-time applications

Benefits

You can deploy SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time with confidence and take advantage of the following benefits:

Lower latency. Respond more rapidly to changing market conditions and business needs, and thus maximize your revenue opportunities
Greater predictability. Ensure critical business processes complete in time, each and every time, and deliver high quality of service, even under heavy system loads
Greater reliability. Increase the availability of your mission-critical applications and meet your service level agreements
