Novell Unveils Novell ZENworks 11 Support Pack 2

Novell has announced the availability of Novell ZENworks 11 Support Pack 2. This new release includes integrated device management for Mac and introduces a new product offering with ZENworks Full Disk Encryption (FDE) and two new suites. Novell provides customers with a competitive advantage, allowing them to manage multiple platforms and implement complex security policies from a single console without compromising manageability. ZENworks 11 Support Pack 2 enables customers to lock out threats without shutting down IT access or stifling workforce productivity.

“Today’s organisations face a variety of challenges when it comes to securing sensitive data. It is imperative that endpoint management solutions support strict compliance with regulatory and financial standards and mandates, but also are flexible enough to maintain user productivity – all while not increasing costs,” said Eric Varness, VP, Product Management and Marketing, Novell. “The release of ZENworks 11 Support Pack 2 demonstrates Novell’s commitment to customers by delivering on our promise for more frequent product updates. As we have shown with other recent updates across our product portfolio, Novell is putting an emphasis on engineering excellence and product development to deliver secure and reliable enterprise technology that meets the needs of our customers,” said Varness.

ZENworks 11 Support Pack 2 provides a holistic approach to supporting Mac devices in the enterprise. With this release, Mac support is provided through Remote Management for Mac, Asset Management for Mac, Mac-OSX Patching and Mac Bundles. ZENworks 11 Support Pack 2 gives organisations simplicity and flexibility for device management across platforms.

With management capabilities including asset, configuration, patch, endpoint security and now Full Disk Encryption, ZENworks 11 Support Pack 2 continually adjusts security settings contingent on location and the role of the user. When an issue arises in one department of an organisation, this solution allows IT to manage and protect the organisation from security risks without disrupting the workflow of other employees.
