SALT LAKE CITY (Novell BrainShare® 2003) - April 14, 2003 Novell today announced the immediate availability of Novell® Resource Management, a services and technology solution powered by Novell ZENworks®, the complete and integrated resource management tool set that automates IT management processes throughout the lifecycle of desktops, laptops, servers and handhelds. A Novell Nterprise™ solution, ZENworks is the technology foundation for Novell Resource Management, allowing customers to cost-effectively consolidate management of IT resources - regardless of platform - using directory-based identities and policies. The new version of Novell ZENworks is a fully integrated package that includes Novell iFolder® for data management and Desktop DNA from Miramar Systems for personality migration, along with the proven ZENworks for Desktops for desktop management, ZENworks for Servers for server management and ZENworks for Handhelds for handheld management. Novell ZENworks also features Web self-service capabilities to automate the provisioning of new services to users inside and outside the organization. "IT resources are too expensive and complex to deploy and manage without a comprehensive resource management solution," said Chris Stone, Novell vice chairman - Office of the CEO. "The Novell Resource Management solution is based on our award-winning ZENworks technology along with expertise and proven best practices to help customers consolidate management of their networks while realizing lower costs and higher efficiency - faster and with less risk. Novell Resource Management is another example of Novell's commitment to open systems with standards-based technology that can manage diverse IT environments now and in the future." Novell Resource Management Ronni Colville, research director for Gartner, said, "Policy-based configuration management that spans diverse devices and platforms in today's IT environments will be essential for enterprises to meet their short-term cost-reduction goals while laying a strategic foundation for future support requirements. Companies that offer these cross-platform configuration-management capabilities help enterprises realize IT efficiencies from the resources they have at their disposal." Novell ZENworks
Dustin Sanders, director of Networking Services at Packaging Corporation of America, said, "Novell ZENworks is our bread and butter. Everything we do revolves around it. Without ZENworks, we would put off upgrading our software because it would be too difficult to manage, and we wouldn't be able to keep pace with the latest technology. With ZENworks, upgrades are no big deal. Everyone at the company is overwhelmingly pleased with our Novell solutions. We have an increased IT efficiency that helps us keep costs under control - one of the major reasons why we haven't had to increase our IT budget in the past four years."
