Novell Launches SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 - Improves reliability and performance. Novell announced today the release of SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, an operating system created for modern data centers. SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 brings many new major improvements to both SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. Two new extensions were added to improve productivity and reliability: SUSE Linux Enterprise Mono Extension and SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension. The first will allow users to run .NET-based Microsoft applications, while the second, a clustering solution, will ensure maximum uptime for mission-critical deployments.
“With the release of SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, Novell is helping IT professionals save money while addressing other key issues identified in the survey, such as interoperability, support for mission-critical computing and the flexibility to deploy Linux in a wide range of environments.” said Jeff Jaffe, CTO at Novell.
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 platform will be supported by major partner companies like Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu Siemens Computer, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, Oracle and SAP AG. “Customers place a very high value on the interoperability and strong technical cooperation between Microsoft and Novell, and the new release of SUSE Linux Enterprise continues that ground-breaking innovation. The scale and scope of the strategic agreement with Novell is unique, and provides customers with innovative solutions for mixed-source environments, both physical and virtual.” said Ted MacLean, general manager of strategic alliances & licensing, Microsoft.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 supports swap over NFS (Network File System), a functionality that will drastically reduce application downtime. The package update stack was also improved to automate installing, removing, upgrading and configuring various software packages.
Together with SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 and complementing it, Novell also announced today the immediate availability of ZENworks Linux Management 7.3. This tool extends policy-driven automation to SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, enabling users to easily deploy, manage and maintain Linux resources.
