This session will demonstrate how you can take a holistic approach to managing your collaboration infrastructure with a cohesive set of solutions that can act in concert to mitigate risk and ensure high availability, regulatory compliance and litigation readiness. We will give specific examples showing the value of project planning, policy definition and integrating technologies, such as Novell eDirectory, Novell Identity Manager, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Novell Open Enterprise Server, Novell ZENworks, Xen and VMware.
