Jun 2, 2007 : Novell Supports BMW Group


📅 - Linux distributor Novell (http://www.novell.com) announced on Monday that automobile manufacturer BMW Group (http://www.bmwgroup.com) has selected SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Novell with integrated Xen virtualization software to implement virtualized workloads in its data center.


According to BMW, Xen virtualization technology will enable the company to increase flexibility in managing server life cycles. BMW will also gain operational and cost advantages in other areas, in addition to having a flatter support structure through the integrated operating system and virtualization layer. The company says it is also currently evaluating Novell ZENworks Orchestrator as a way to manage the resulting virtual data center systems.

"The BMW Group is taking advantage of what the market is just discovering, that Xen open source virtualization software fully integrated in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is a viable alternative to proprietary virtualization solutions, providing high performance at a lower cost," says Roger Levy, VP and general manager of open platform solutions for Novell. "Integration ensures all pieces of the solution work well together and as is the case with open source software, it eliminates vendor lock-in and enhances customer choice."

Novell has most recently become a member of The Green Grid, a global non-profit organization focused on reducing growing power and cooling demands in data centers worldwide.
