Novell Announces SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client

Open source software vendor Novell recently introduced SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client, a solution comprising SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and an image-creation tool kit that resellers can use to provide a finished thin-client solution to customers.

Novell says that by shifting from traditional desktops with proprietary platforms to thin-client devices and workstations running SUSE Linux Enterprise from Novell, customers can achieve lower computing costs, increased data security and simplified manageability.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client is said to simplify desktop management tasks such as application updates by maintaining applications on the server. It also provides central storage of all sensitive data, thereby increasing data security.

Making the announcement, Roger Levy, Novell vice president and general manager of Open Platform Solutions, said, “The combination of Novell technology and the deployment expertise of our partners means that customers will have a new low-cost, flexible solution for their end-user computing requirements.”

SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client includes both the desktop software and a tool kit which can create, deploy and maintain images for diverse thin-client environments, such as call centres, manufacturing floor workstations and other fixed-function and transactional settings. Images can be deployed on a variety of devices, such as re-purposed legacy PCs, new PCs or specialised thin-client devices.
