Novell today announced that it received three LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards, more than any other vendor at the conference. Novell ZENworks Linux Management was judged to be the "Best Systems Management Tool", while the "Best Security Solution" went to Novell Nsure, a secure identity management platform.
Novell exteNd 5.2 won the "Best Integration Solution", the second consecutive LinuxWorld Product Excellence award for Novell`s service-oriented architecture suite. Winners were selected as the top product and service innovations and solutions in open computing by a panel of industry experts and were announced by IDG World Expo on Tuesday at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo.
Novell also led the way in nominations with finalists in seven of the 14 categories. Other Novell product finalists include SUSELinux Enterprise Server, Novell GroupWise 6.5, Novell Evolution 2.0 and Novell-sponsored Mono.
