 "Novatium Chooses SUSE Linux Enterprise Server And Novell eDirectory")
Novatium Solutions Pvt. Ltd has opted to build its entire infrastructure on Novell Open Workgroup Suite, with Novell Identity Manager and eDirectory providing control over users and access rights.
Novell Open Workgroup Suite provides an infrastructure and productivity solution, including SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
According to the official press release, Novell ZENworks will enable Novatium to distribute and maintain applications and system updates from their Chennai headquarters without the need for additional local staff. Novell eDirectory allows Novatium to manage authentication, user profiles and attributes from a single point of control.
“We looked at various operating systems and software alternatives that had some, but not all, of the elements that we needed,” said Vinod Gopinath, CTO, Novatium. “We found that the combination of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Novell eDirectory was able to provide enterprise-class scalability and integrated user authentication, management and security.”
“To connect to most ISPs, you need an expensive PC with pre-installed software, a landline and a subscription,” said Saugata Chakrabarti, Vice President of Business Development, Novatium. “The Novatium solution is far simpler: we provide a stripped-down, low-cost Nova netPC with instant-on access to all the services and applications a typical user needs, for a single low monthly fee.”
Sandeep Menon, Managing Director, Novell India said, “We are pleased to be associated with Novatium Solutions in their breakthrough project. Their decision to move to our Open Source platform rests not only on TCO considerations, but also on the potential long-term technological and strategic advantages to being based on Open Source technologies. Based on those criteria, SUSE Linux Enterprise is proving its value to Novatium’s customers.”
