October 13th, 2008: Desktop Linux--A Viable Alternative to Windows

August 11th, 2008: Virtualization
Virtualization is one of the hottest topics in IT today. Most of your customers are familiar with the benefits of virtualization and are actively virtualizing workloads today. But many of these customers are realizing that these benefits come at a significant cost and budget constraints may be stalling their progress. During this Webcast we discuss Novell's virtualization solution and why it makes sense to diversify your virtualization offerings to include Linux and Open Source. Novell's solution will give you a truly competitive offering that will help drive more hardware sales and give your customers the technology they need to continue and accelerate their virtualization projects.
