Novell iManager

Overview

Novell iManager provides a global view of your network from one browser-based tool, allowing you to proactively assess and respond to your changing network demands. With iManager, you can manage Novell Open Enterprise Server, Novell Identity Manager, Novell eDirectory and many other Novell and third-party services—from a Web browser. In addition the product provides a single point of administration for directory objects, schema, partitions, replicas and many other network resources. This centralized Web-based management allows you to eliminate administrative redundancy, saving both time and money.

Delegated Administration

Novell iManager also provides a number of advanced capabilities that take network administration to a new level. Most notably, iManager features delegated administration, which allows you to assign individuals with specific management tasks and duties. Delegating simple administrative tasks like resetting passwords or adding network printers allows you, the network administrator, to focus on strategic projects that more directly affect the company's bottom line. In addition, the product runs on a variety of operating systems, including SUSE Linux, NetWare®, Red Hat Linux*, and Windows*. This multi-platform support gives you flexibility in where and how you deploy the management console. This helps address the challenge of managing complex, heterogeneous networks in which a wide range of applications are running on a variety of operating systems.

Other innovations in Novell iManager include integrated Plug-in update and download and the Plug-in Studio, which allows you to create a customized management interface without writing a single line of code. Leveraging standard technologies and application interfaces, Novell iManager provides an ideal architecture for the creation of a customized management interface. With iManager, secure, flexible network administration is only a browser away.
