Open Solutions Workshop by Novell

Open Source Solutions from Novell

DATE: Thursday, February 9, 2006

TIME: 2:00pm - 5:30pm

ROOM: Casuarina

DESCRIPTION

Enterprises of all types and sizes -- including yours -- need new ways to reduce operational costs while maintaining or improving service levels. Linux offers many advantages over other proprietary operating systems to meet these needs:

• Unbeatable reliability
• Massive scalability
• Complete flexibility
• Low cost of ownership

Today, Linux has become the operating system of choice for running Web infrastructure and corporate applications. As Linux becomes a platform for mission-critical use, businesses are evaluating open source for IT infrastructure, including file, print, collaboration, directory and other workloads. While Linux offers a wealth of networking services, the demands of the typical enterprise deployment -- ease-of-use, massive scalability, integrated and centralized manageability, solid security and responsive, and 24x7 support -- quickly overwhelm the capabilities of many open source services.

At Novell's Open Solutions Workshop you will hear from Novell experts on some of the leading enterprise class Linux solutions which can effectively address these enterprise needs.
