Novell's Virtualization Partnership

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday February 8, 2006 @06:43AM from the thinking-out-of-the-box dept.

Jane Walker writes "The push for a virtual data center and utility computing continued this week as Novell announced that SuSE Linux would have support for Virtual Iron out of the box." Novell has also guaranteed that 'that all existing independent software vendor (ISV) certifications will not be affected.' From the article: "'The applications certification [component] is huge,' said Novell director of data center applications Justin Steinman. 'Customers want to know that their existing applications are not going to break when they deploy their technology [on a virtual server].'"

thank you novell by Pavel+Stratil · 2006-02-08 06:49 · Score: 5, Interesting

When Novell bought SUSE, I thought that nothing appart from the name change would happen. Over the last months Novel turned out to be a big surprise for me. Those guys really push some inovation into the linux world. Just to remind you, there's Novell's xforms implementation, support of a large number of open source projects (i.e. Gnome), or among the current issues, the most wanted win/mac apps poll or the opening the Xgl.. pretty cool.
