Novell to Deliver Full Lifecycle Management for Linux Devices
Novell has introduced Novell ZENworks7 Linux Management, an integrated, complete management system for centralized control of Linux desktops and servers. With ZENworks 7 Linux Management, organizations can reduce the overhead required to manage Linux systems. Novell ZENworks 7 Linux Management provides complete lifecycle management for Linux platforms, including SUSE LINUX and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, adding imaging, configuration lockdown, remote management, inventory and software management. ZENworks 7 Linux Management is the only solution that uses Policy-Driven Automation to centrally deploy, manage and maintain Linux resources no matter where they reside in the network.
Dennis Large, University of Louisville IT LAN administrator, said, "As we move ahead with our Linux strategy, we need complete confidence that the tools we put in place will keep us in control and contain costs. ZENworks Linux Management will allow us to quickly gather updates and patches and efficiently distribute them to our many Linux servers." The product is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2005.
