Novell, in close collaboration with strategic partners, IBM, Intel and Platespin, is driving an approach to data centre computing that will make it easier for organisations to enhance the performance, flexibility and return on investment of the technology upon which they depend for success.
This approach is focused on increasing collaboration and support between the leading data centre vendors and thereby achieving improved integration of their technologies. As a result, customers are better able to align IT with evolving business processes and to leverage maximum business value and greater agility from their data centre investments.
This will enable you to:
* Simplify your data centre with the flexibility to seamlessly move virtual machines between Microsoft Windows and SUSE Linux Enterprise
* Reduce TCO by 50% to 70% by migrating SAP workloads from Unix to SAP-optimised SUSE Linux Enterprise
* Increase performance and adapt to rapidly changing business needs with anywhere to anywhere workload portability between physical and virtual environments
* Automate the management of VMware, Microsoft and Xen virtualisation environments
Through the Data Centre Discovery Tour you will have the opportunity to learn about how your organisation could benefit from:
Management and automation
Rapidly adapt to changing business needs with anywhere to anywhere workload portability between physical and virtual environments. Automate the tasks of planning, testing and migrating server workloads to the virtual environment.
Virtualisation and consolidation
Increase server utilisation levels up to 80% with enterprise-ready SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, allowing workloads to be consolidated onto fewer servers, reducing capital, maintenance and management costs.
SUSE Linux Enterprise optimised for SAP
Benefit from SAP-certified virtualisation built in at no extra cost, combined with integrated global support, from a convenient single point of entry, for both your SAP applications and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
Linux and Windows interoperability
Achieve greater interoperability with SUSE Linux Enterprise, the only Linux distribution endorsed by Microsoft for running Windows and Linux in a mixed IT environment, whether you are running physical or virtual servers.
Join the Data Centre Discovery Tour and see in more detail how Novell is working with its key data centre partners to deliver a more intelligent approach to data centre computing. The tour will be at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga, Durban, on 9 October; at the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town on 14 October and at The Forum in Bryanston, Johannesburg on 21 October.
