Do-No-Evil Saturday - Part IV: New Support, Contracts, and Services

Dell appears to be getting closer to Virtual Iron at the moment and Novell might join this pairing.

Virtual Iron runs on the Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 kernel, and Wolf expects Novell to adopt broad support for those applications running on Virtual Iron, though the company does not support the platform yet.


Toll Brothers rave about their choice of a Novell product for identity management.

Toll Brothers evaluated several identity management solutions before selecting Novell Identity Manager and Novell Access Manager(TM).


Novell is also doing fine in Australia.

"The relationship wasn't really working based on the sales we had and their model," he said. "OCS does multiple Novell orders daily, whereas with our products, it could be one order every month, but it could be a large one."

Fiamegos said Silverdane developed archiving and meeting room management products to cater for Novell's GroupWise and Exchange. They tied in well with its own relationship with Novell, he said.


DMTF and Novell seem to have some relationship that was never mentioned here before.

"Novell strongly believes that open standards are essential for promoting, as well as easing the adoption of virtualization," said Eric Anderson, vice president of engineering for Systems and Resource Management at Novell.


It ought to be important to track Novell's industrial ties in order to understand its strategy a little better.
